Home Additions in El Monte, CA

If your El Monte home no longer accommodates your lifestyle, a living space addition allows you to enlarge it cost-effectively. With proper design and construction, an addition not only gains useful new rooms but also boosts functionality of your existing layout. Having tackled hundreds of additions across the San Gabriel Valley region, Surfside Builders Group offers specialized expertise transforming modest homes into open, modern living environments tailored specifically to each family’s needs.

Benefits of Adding Onto Your Home

Whether you’ve outgrown your current house or want to enhance livability for retirement, an El Monte home addition provides advantages over moving, such as:

No Disruptive Relocation

Expanding your home lets you improve space and functionality without the hassle of buying, selling and moving. Additions also prevent you from losing features you love about your existing property and neighborhood.

Customization

Additions can transform your home layout any way imagination allows, including:

• Multi-purpose flex rooms
• Expanded kitchen, bath and bedrooms
• Game and theater spaces
• In-law suites
• Backyard entertainment pavilions

We construct new spaces around your family’s unique wishes rather than settling for what existing houses offer.

Cost Efficiency

In many cases, adding new living space costs significantly less than purchasing a larger home requiring major renovations and landscaping to match personal tastes.

Increased Property Value

Similar to upscale remodels, additions raise perceived value for resale by maximizing livable space on your lot. Even modest additions like a downstairs master suite or rooftop deck offer excellent ROI.

The Home Addition Process

Initial Consultation

We begin by meeting onsite to gain perspective on your goals, home functionality issues, and potential addition ideas or locations. With measurements and photos, we generate computerized 3D renderings accurately depicting possible layouts and exterior aesthetic options for discussion and refinement.

Planning and Design

With conceptually approved layouts and styles, our in-house design team produces formal architectural plans and elevations detailing the addition. This phase finalizes room dimensions, traffic flow, storage solutions and exterior tie-ins. We also make finishing selections for lighting, fixtures, cabinetry, appliances and surfacing materials, all removable in digital form until satisfying vision and budget.

Permitting

Before construction, we compile required permit applications including official plans, energy compliance forms, contractor licenses, and homeowner authorizations to submit for approval. With strong existing relationships across El Monte’s offices, we smooth the bureaucracy ensuring you break ground rapidly.

Construction

With permits secured, we commence addition construction including necessary demolition of walls/ceilings/floors on connecting house sections. We sequence work efficiently to reunite original home and addition rapidly while retaining livability whenever possible. After enclosing the addition’s roof and exterior walls to weatherproof your investment, interior finish work occurs to finalize all aesthetic elements per earlier selections. Updates or alterations remain simplified during the entire process.

Completion & Warranty Period

After passing final approvals together, we issue all manuals for new systems and offer seasonal maintenance to supplement their operation.

As a family-owned, El Monte-based home builder, Surfside Builders Group remains available anytime for warranty questions plus future remodeling as needs evolve.

Style Considerations for Home Additions

Since additions permanently change your home’s appearance, we tailor exterior design and finishes to maintain neighborhood cohesion. Our construction team has transformed countless households across the San Gabriel Valley using strategies like:

Matching Architectural Features

We replicate existing roof lines, gables, trim details,ENTRY door styles and windows on additions for harmonious aesthetics.

Complementary Materials

When existing exterior consists of finishes like wood siding, brick or stucco, we thoughtfully incorporate the same finishes alongside accent materials to forge natural-looking extensions of your home’s original facade.

Strategic Style Blending

To contrast with more traditional existing homes, we sometimes integrate contemporary elements on additions through the likes of metal siding, creative window designs or modern structural stilts allowing more backyard views and light. This prevents additions from seeming awkwardly tacked-on.

Decision Drivers for Home Additions

Key factors determining the scope and specifications of your custom El Monte home addition include:

Intended Use

How you plan to use the new space dictates layout and structural considerations. For instance, a kids’ rumpus room differs vastly from a home gym or garage extension. Clarifying needs makes additions more practical.

Budget

From a basic bedroom expansion to an upscale media lounge with wet bar and electronics, our design team devises additions matching personal finances down to desired finishes. Setting expectations early enables maximizing each dollar spent.

Lot Restrictions

We ensure additions comply with El Monte’s municipal zoning using tactics like modified roof lines, strategic window placement, redwood barriers and rear alley access to preserve both backyard space and privacy for neighbors, as required.

Timing

Whether performed amidst school summer break or after the rainy season, we stage construction phases conveniently around home life with minimal footprint possible. Some additions prove more complex depending on home layout solutions.

Return-on-Investment

Even if you don’t plan on selling soon, we make additions attractive for resale through features like seamless architecture, Legal bedrooms and baths, ample backyard preservation and noise mitigation assurances for adjoining properties to ease future transactions.

Affordable Financing

Rather than paying outright, many homeowners fund additions/renovations through secured lending options that provide fixed rates and terms up to 30 years. This generates instant equity for amounts borrowed against the property. As experts guiding clients through credit applications, Surfside Builders secures excellent financing terms for your addition while oftentimes accessing better rates than traditional refinancing.

Whether performed for more room, updating dated aesthetics or boosting El Monte property value, call Surfside Builders Group to discuss the many possibilities an addition unlocks for your evolving household needs.
