Build More Room for the Life You’re Living
A well-designed addition not only gives you more space—it improves the way your home works. At Roots Builders, we start by understanding how your space needs to evolve and then deliver an addition that complements your home’s existing architecture, layout, and energy performance.
We specialize in:
Primary Suite Additions
Kitchen & Living Room Expansions
Mudrooms, Entryways & Covered Porches

From concept to completion, our in-house team manages every detail—from permitting and design coordination to framing, finishes, and energy-efficient upgrades.
Seamless Integration, Built to Last
Adding to your home shouldn't feel like an afterthought. That’s why we take a whole-home approach—matching materials, rooflines, trim details, and systems to ensure your addition feels cohesive, not pieced together. Whether your home is historic, modern, or somewhere in between, we build additions with both form and function in mind.
