Benefits of Home Additions

For many homeowners, adding space to an existing structure makes more sense lifestyle- and cost-wise than purchasing a larger home requiring a move. Addition benefits include:

• Personalized Design– Building out customized spaces aligned with your family’s needs and preferences is easier than searching for another suitable home.
• Financial Value– Investing in additions to improve functionality often increases a home’s market demand versus buying a more expensive house.
• Livable Construction– Room-by-room phased construction of additions causes less disruption than moving elsewhere during major home renovations.
• Efficiency & Selection– It is typically faster, less stressful and more affordable to construct an addition compared to shopping in Downey’s competitive housing market.
• Existing Community– Additions allow homeowners to remain in a neighborhood they know and love rather than relocating to unfamiliar surroundings.

If you want additional living space configured exactly how your family desires, an addition by Surfside makes staying put the smarter choice!

Seamlessly Integrated Construction

Surfside Builders Group makes home additions appear as though they were part of dwellings all along. Our construction crews are experts at seamlessly marrying additions with existing structures. We match architectural style and proportions, window detailing, roof pitch and finishes creating cohesive style.

Our integrate construction process involves:

• Harmonizing exterior design features like siding, trim, entryways and landscaping
• Smoothing floorplan transitions from old to new spaces
• Conforming wall heights, windows, doors and ceiling details
• Coordinating lighting, fixtures, tile and paint colors
• Leveling flooring by feathering floor heights
• Blending HVAC, electrical and plumbing infrastructure

Proper planning prevents painful problems like low ceiling heights, inefficient room flow, eyesore exteriors, drainage issues or complex infrastructure linking. Our project managers anticipate integration challenges ensuring unified designs.

Addition Build Process

Surfside simplifies additions leveraging an organized construction process perfected by 15+ years improving Downey homes. Homeowners enjoy peace of mind knowing we manage stressful details:

1. Design Consultation– Collaborating with homeowners, our architectural team creates initial addition sketches indicating layout, traffic flow and features. Virtual 3D renderings help visualize concepts.
2. Schematic Drawings– After approving layouts, we provide rough illustrations showing further spatial details like wall placement and relationships for refinement before drafting final plans.
3. City Permitting– Surfside submits addition designs with stamped engineering calculations to Downey’s building department for plan checks and permit approval, handling any needed revisions.
4. Site Preparation– After permit issue, crews complete preliminary scope like demolitions, vegetation clearing and utility marking preparing the site for addition framework.
5. Rough Framing– Dimensional lumber fabrication begins defining room boundaries and structural reinforcement for the shell supporting finished surfaces.
6. MEP Systems– Electricians and plumbers install infrastructure like outlets, switches, lighting, fans, piping, drains, ductwork, panels and water heaters throughout additions.
7. Insulation– Following inspection of underlying electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, blown insulation is inserted within addition walls and attics to regulate temperature.
8. Drywall & Mud– Walls and ceilings are covered with fire-resistant drywall sheets later smoothed by tape/compound for flush surfaces ideal for final finishes.
9. Trims & Fixtures– Wood trim carpentry and installation of cabinets, countertops, sinks, toilets, bath tiling and flooring brings additions closer to final aesthetic form.
10. Finishes & Paint– With inspection approval of rough systems and surfaces, painters apply swaths of color while other crews add finishing touches like landscaping, gutters and exterior stonework.
11. Final Walkthrough– After passing final inspections, homeowners complete a punch list tour to identify any last minor fixes needed before approving project completion.
