Details Matter

A well-planned and executed addition can significantly increase your home's value — potentially recouping your investment and providing equity growth over time.

 

The Smart Choice 

 

Building a home addition may be a more cost-effective option in Charlotte, NC compared to selling your existing home, buying a new one, dealing with moving and all the expenses involved with that process. If you love your neighborhood, and the location of your home, an addition could be exactly what your family needs.

Our design + build team will guide you throughout the process from conceptualizing the new space to making sure your home addition meets all setback and zoning requirements. Whether you're thinking about adding a second story to your home or building an entire new wing, we can help.

Remodeling Magic

 

With some home additions, it’s hard to tell what's old and what's new while others stick out like a sore thumb. Because of our knowledge, experience and team of skilled trades like brick masons and master carpenters, our home additions look like they’ve always been part of the house.

We believe home additions should be expertly designed and built with care and craftsmanship. Do it right, and your new home addition may increase the value of your home while providing you with the extra elbow room your family needs.

Hidden Potential

 

Not all additions add to the footprint of a home. It may make sense to convert your existing attic, basement or garage to usable and valuable living space. These areas are often neglected and filled with storage boxes but they may be the perfect place to add a guest suite, playroom, dedicated hobby room, home office or home theater.

Alternatively, one of the best ways to add curb appeal to many of the simple, one-story bungalows or ranch-style homes built in Charlotte, NC during the last century is to add a second story addition, also known as "popping the top" of the house.

You will need an experienced design + build team to help guide you through all the structural, zoning and permitting requirements for this kind of significant remodeling project. We can help you uncover the hidden potential in your home.

Framing and foundation for a home addition in Charlotte, NC by Distinctive Design + Build + Remodel.
We contracted with them for an addition on our home. Erin was very professional and offered advice and insight on our project. Vince was very much into making sure our project was done right with no issues and on a timeline set forth in the contract. He also explained every detail on the project — whether or not we asked about it. Their team of contractors was devoted to getting the job done and cleaned up after their work was done each day. Would I contract with them again to do work on my home? In a heart beat!

We wanted to convert a two-story family room to a single level family room with a second-floor playroom. Every other contractor told us we would need columns to support the second floor. Vince assured us this was not needed and I was able to see his work on a friend's house where he had done a similar job. The end result was just what we were looking for. I was very pleased with Vince's work and would recommend him to others.
