Frequently Asked Questions About Home Additions
What types of home additions do you build?
We design and build all types of additions: second-story expansions, primary suites, family rooms, garages, in-law suites, and more, blending with your home’s existing architecture as one holistic structure.
What aspects of the addition will Bromwell take care of?
Our in-house designers will work hand in hand with you to design your addition and select the perfect materials and finishes. We work directly with local architects and your municipality for construction documents and permitting. Our goal is to make your experience during the addition process part of the joy of your new space.
How much does an addition cost?
Again, the cost of our addition depends on your choices. We know that's not helpful. Here are some starting prices to anchor your early budgeting for popular home addition projects in Delaware and Pennsylvania.
How do I know if my home is a good candidate for an addition?
Your addition might go up, out or both, depending on your circumstances. We evaluate your property, zoning requirements, and structural capacity to determine how to best meet your goals.
how long will my addition take?
Typically, the design and permitting take a few months to complete and the building process takes a few months after that. We know that's a wide range, but that's because every product is different. For a timeline and price breakdown specific to your project, please reach out to us for an estimate.
Can I live in my home while the addition is built?
Often, yes. We use careful scheduling and dust barriers to minimize disruption when living onsite is practical. If we're adding a second or third story, there will likely be a portion for which you will be more comfortable somewhere else. We will work together to identify those times if your project necessitates alternate living arrangements so that you can confidently plan.
What factors contribute to addition costs and timelines?
When planning a home addition project, various factors can significantly impact both the budget and timeline. Understanding how selections, size, and other considerations come into play is essential. Here's a breakdown.
- Selections: The materials, fixtures, and finishes you choose for your addition can greatly influence the overall cost. High-end selections cost more per square foot and can be more complicated to install.
- Size: The size of the addition directly affects the budget and timeline. Larger additions require more materials, labor, and time for construction, resulting in higher costs and longer completion periods.
- Complexity: The complexity of the project, including plumbing and electrical work, can impact both the budget and timeline. If extensive modifications are needed to accommodate new systems, additional expenses and time will be required.
- Existing Infrastructure: The condition and accessibility of existing infrastructure, such as plumbing, gas lines, and electrical connections, can influence the cost and duration of the project. If modifications or upgrades are necessary, the budget and timeline may be affected.
- Permits and Regulations: Obtaining necessary permits and complying with building regulations can add time and expenses to the project. Delays in securing permits or meeting code requirements can prolong the timeline and increase costs.

“We were very pleased with Frank Bromwell's company and their remodel of our bathroom. We live in a very old Victorian house in the City and they were very experienced with old city homes. His crew were great, friendly and very professional. Highly recommended.”
