Home Additions

Adding Space Without the Stress of Moving

RGI Masonry & Construction, LLC builds home additions and new structures in City unavailable for families ready to grow their living space.

RGI Masonry & Construction, LLC provides home additions and new build services for homeowners who need more room but want to stay in their current neighborhood. You might be planning a primary suite, a second story over the garage, or an entirely new structure on your property. The work starts with evaluating your lot, understanding setbacks, and designing a footprint that integrates with your existing home or stands alone as a functional building. Each project begins with a site assessment that accounts for foundation requirements, drainage, and access for equipment and materials.

Home additions involve matching exterior materials to your current structure, tying into existing electrical and plumbing systems, and ensuring new roof lines blend with the original architecture. New builds on your property follow similar principles but start from the ground up, giving you more flexibility in layout and finish. Both types of work require permitting, inspections at multiple stages, and coordination between trades including framers, electricians, plumbers, and finish carpenters. The timeline depends on the size of the addition, the complexity of the foundation, and how much structural work is needed to connect new space to old.

Reach out to discuss your project scope and site conditions so we can walk you through what the process looks like for your property.

What Happens During an Addition or New Build

You start by choosing whether to expand your existing footprint or build a separate structure. Once the design is settled, the crew excavates for the foundation, pours footings, and sets up forms for a slab or crawl space depending on soil conditions and grade. Walls go up using wood framing or masonry block, and roof trusses are set and sheathed before the exterior is weatherproofed with house wrap and siding. Windows and doors are installed, and rough-in work for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical happens before insulation and drywall close up the walls.


When the work is finished, you will notice that the new space feels like it was always part of the house. Flooring transitions are clean, paint matches or complements the existing interior, and door swings make sense for how you move through the home. RGI Masonry & Construction, LLC ensures that additions do not leave visible seams in siding or roofing and that new structures meet the same standards as the main house. You will be able to use the space immediately after final inspection without waiting for systems to settle or finishes to cure beyond normal drying times.



The project includes all structural framing, exterior weatherproofing, roofing, window and door installation, rough plumbing and electrical, insulation, drywall, and basic interior finishes. It does not include landscaping restoration, custom cabinetry unless specified, or decorative exterior features like pergolas or decks that are not part of the structural plan. Any utility upgrades required by code, such as panel upgrades or sewer line extensions, are discussed during the planning phase and priced separately if they fall outside the scope of the addition itself.

Questions About Adding Space to Your Home

Here are answers to common questions about home additions and new builds that help clarify what the process involves and what to expect.

  • What do you need before starting construction? You need a site plan, approved building permits, and confirmation that utilities can support the additional load or new structure.
  • How long does a typical addition take to complete? Most single-story additions take between eight and twelve weeks depending on size, weather, and inspection schedules.
  • When do you tie into existing plumbing and electrical? Connections happen during rough-in after framing is complete and before insulation goes in, so inspections can verify code compliance.
  • Why does foundation work vary between projects? Soil type, frost depth, drainage patterns, and whether the addition includes a basement or crawl space all affect how the foundation is designed and poured.
  • What happens if the existing structure needs repairs? Any issues with the original framing, roofing, or exterior are identified during the connection phase and addressed before new work is enclosed.
