Brick home addition

Home Addition Contractors Near Me

As Skokie-based contractors, we bring deep knowledge of local homes, building codes, and permit requirements to every home addition project. Our experience with brick construction, older properties, and neighborhood zoning guidelines allows us to plan additions that fit both the home and the lot. Our team ensures your new space blends seamlessly with your existing home, delivered with craftsmanship, care, and efficiency..

Room Additions Costs and Considerations

Home addition costs vary based on the type and complexity of the project. Single-story room additions are typically more straightforward, while second-story additions, garage additions, and in-law suites tend to cost more due to structural reinforcement and additional engineering. Design choices, materials, and the need to blend the new space with an existing brick or older home can also impact pricing. Understanding these factors early helps set realistic expectations and allows for smarter design decisions from the start.

Step 1: Home Addition Planning & Consultation

We begin by learning about your goals, lifestyle, and budget for your home addition. Our team develops a customized plan that integrates seamlessly with your existing home, guides you through material options, and manages all required permits and approvals.

Step 2: Design & Material Selections

Once the plan is established, we finalize layouts and design details while assisting with finish and material selections. Every choice is carefully coordinated to ensure the new addition matches your home’s style and functions perfectly.

Step 3: Building, Finishing & Project Completion

From foundation work to final finishes, our experienced team builds your home addition with precision and attention to detail. We complete the project with a thorough walkthrough, and our warranty and ongoing support provide long-term peace of mind.

Moller Builders were excellent to work with! The owner really went thr extra step to make sure I understood the terms of the contract, was very patient and thorough with explanation of what work was being done. Our basement looks great , and the work was high quality for a reasonable price. I was especially satisfied with the level of communication the owner and team had with me throughout the process.

I called them up for estimate and to seek professional opinion on the best course of action for my patio. They didn't upsell me nor gave me false information. Very factual based information and left the decision to me. I would use their services again definitely in the future.

I had new doors all around the house installed recently. Superior quality, no cracks, gaps, or mess, and an extremely fair price. I'll definitely be coming back when I need another project done!

We used Moller Builders for a few projects around the house. Charlie is easy to talk to and quick to respond. The workers are hard working and quick to complete the projects. They also cleanup and leave the home in good shape. The pricing was very fair. We plan to do a few more projects using Moller Builders later this year.
