Home Additions
Sometimes the right answer to a growing family or a changing lifestyle is not a move — it is an addition that finally gives your current home the space it was always missing. Hickok Homes designs and builds home additions that read as original to the house, not bolted on: primary suite expansions, second-story additions, in-law suites, and expanded living and outdoor spaces, all engineered to tie seamlessly into the existing structure, roofline, and architectural character of your home.
Additions carry a unique set of structural challenges — tying new foundation and framing into existing construction, matching rooflines and exterior materials, and routing new mechanical systems through a house that was not originally designed for them. We manage all of it as a single design-build project, from structural engineering and permitting through final exterior matching and interior finish work, so the addition feels like it has always belonged, both inside the home and from the street.

FAQs
Home Additions — Frequently Asked Questions
Will my addition match the rest of my house?
Yes — matching existing rooflines, siding, trim, and architectural details is a core part of our addition design process, so the finished result does not look like an obvious add-on.
Can you add a second story to my existing home?
In many cases, yes, depending on your home's existing foundation and structural capacity, which we evaluate during the feasibility phase.
Do you handle permitting for additions?
Yes, our team manages structural engineering, permitting, and inspections throughout the addition process.
