Our Home Addition Process

Step 1: Consultation & Measurement

We start the process on the phone, getting any information and basics done FIRST before officially entering the site.

We will then come on-site to take measurements, and any necessary information down before starting the job.

Step 2: Site Prep and Removal

We come on site, and if necessary we remove all the old furnishing to prepare your home for the new home addition to be constructed.

We then prepare the materials and any additional things we may need to make the job as smooth as possible.

Step 3: Installation and Cleanup

We then build your new home addition, with quality care and efficiency to make sure we don’t take up too much of your time.

You won’t even know we were there when the job is done, as our crew takes extra care in making sure your site is cleaner than when we first found it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average cost per square foot for a home addition in Sacramento?

In Sacramento County, home addition costs typically range from $250 to $450 per square foot, depending on the type of addition, complexity, and finish level. Second-story additions tend to be on the higher end due to additional structural requirements, while bump-outs may cost less. Master suite additions average $350-400 per square foot due to the plumbing and specialized fixtures required. At Future Generation Construction, we provide detailed, transparent pricing during our initial consultation process.

How long does it take to build a home addition from start to finish?

The timeline for a custom home addition construction project varies based on size and complexity. Typically, smaller additions like bump-outs may take 2-3 months, while larger projects like second-story additions can take 4-6 months. This timeline includes all phases: design (2-4 weeks), permitting (3-6 weeks), construction (8-16 weeks), and final inspections (1-2 weeks). We provide a detailed schedule during the planning phase and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.Most standard kitchen backsplash installations in Sacramento homes take 2-3 days to complete. Day one typically involves demolition (if needed) and wall preparation. Day two focuses on tile installation, and day three includes grouting, sealing, and final cleanup. Larger kitchens or complex designs may require additional time. We always provide a specific timeline during your consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Is it better to build out or build up with a second story?

The decision between building out or up depends on your specific situation. Building out (ground-level addition) is often less expensive per square foot and less disruptive to your daily life during construction. However, it reduces your yard space and may be limited by setback requirements. Building up (second-story addition) preserves your outdoor space and often adds significant value, but typically costs 20-30% more due to structural reinforcement needs and is more disruptive during construction. Our design team can evaluate your property, needs, and budget to recommend the optimal approach.

Can we live in our house during the construction?

In most cases, yes. For ground-level additions, many Sacramento homeowners remain in their homes throughout construction. We create dust barriers, maintain separate entrances for workers, and schedule noisy work during convenient hours. For second-story additions or major renovations that affect existing living spaces, you might need temporary accommodations during certain phases. We discuss this in detail during planning and help you prepare accordingly. Our team prioritizes minimizing disruption to your daily life while maintaining a safe construction environment.

Does a home addition provide a good return on investment?

Yes, home additions typically offer excellent ROI in the Sacramento market. According to recent real estate data, master suite additions recoup approximately 63-75% of their cost, while family room additions return 70-83%. Kitchen expansions often return 75-85% of their investment. Beyond immediate financial returns, additions provide significant quality-of-life benefits and allow you to remain in your neighborhood while gaining needed space. The current housing shortage in Sacramento County has further increased the value of well-executed home additions.

What is a design-build process and why is it beneficial?

The design-build process combines architectural design and construction services under one contract and team, rather than hiring separate entities. This integrated approach offers several advantages: streamlined communication, faster project completion, cost savings (typically 5-10%), unified responsibility, fewer change orders, and consistent quality control. At Future Generation Construction, our design-build approach means you have a single point of contact throughout your project, ensuring your vision is carried through from initial concept to final construction without miscommunications or finger-pointing between separate contractors.
