Full-Scale Home Addition & Structural Renovation in Madison, WI

Project Overview

The homeowners wanted to add a new master suite, expand their living room, and modernize the home’s outdated framing system. Our team designed and executed a 900 sq. ft. addition, fully integrated into the original structure, complete with vaulted ceilings, smart insulation, and upgraded HVAC systems.

This was not just a remodel—it was a complete transformation that honored the home’s original charm while preparing it for the future.

Key Features of the Construction

• Master Bedroom & En-Suite Addition: Added a spacious master suite with walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring heated floors and skylights.

• Vaulted Ceilings with Exposed Beams: Opened up the living room ceiling to create a dramatic sense of space and added stained timber beams for architectural flair.

• Foundation Work & Structural Reinforcement: Poured new footings and reinforced existing framing to ensure long-term stability and compliance with updated building codes.

• Energy-Efficient Insulation & Windows: Installed spray foam insulation and triple-pane windows throughout the new addition for maximum comfort and efficiency.

• Smart HVAC Zoning System: Introduced a dual-zone HVAC setup with smart thermostats to manage the expanded space seamlessly.

Challenges & Solutions

Blending the new addition with the existing home was key. We matched exterior siding, roofing, and interior trim to create a seamless transition. Also, a sloped backyard required creative excavation and retaining wall work to level the foundation safely.
