Los Altos Hills Home Additions

A home addition involves building onto your existing structure. These projects add cosmetic appeal to the outside of your residential space and leave room for additional family members and guests. Valley Home Builders listens to your expectations for expansions and can help you make the right decision for these major home renovations:

• Second-story additions: If you’d like more living space, you might want to add a floor to your house instead of extending your existing foundation. A second-story addition helps you preserve your landscaping while enhancing the amount of space you have on your whole property.
• Room additions and bump outs: If you need a little extra space in your home, consider building a room addition or expanding on a room you already have. A room addition is a completely new room added to your home. On the other hand, a bump out adds a little extra square footage to an existing room.
• Sunrooms: A sunroom allows you to enjoy the outdoors while staying comfortable inside. Sunrooms often use aluminum framing and thermal-resistant glass. You can use this additional living space as an office, entertainment area or workout studio to accommodate your lifestyle needs.
• Patio or deck remodeling: Your patio or deck is an extension of your house. When you design it correctly, it becomes an exterior room on your property. Consider upgrading your outdoor living space with a fireplace or kitchen to host family gatherings and get some fresh air.
• Home expansions: A home expansion involves adding multiple rooms — such as a bathroom, living room, dining room, guest bedroom, great room and master bedroom — to your current living space. Consider this service if you need more space or want to change certain aspects of your house’s layout.

Los Altos Hills ADU Builder

The San Francisco Bay Area is an excellent location for accessory dwelling units. Sometimes known as in-law apartments or granny flats, ADUs can be connected to the main home or detached as a separate dwelling altogether. Valley Home Builders specializes in the planning and construction of ADUs to grant you an extra living space to use how you see fit.

There are endless options for renovations, from yoga studios to home offices, when you work with our ADU builders in Los Altos Hills. Here are some of the ways you can use an ADU:

• Basement conversion: If you’d like to get more use out of your basement, you might want to convert it into an office, studio or additional living space. Since you’re connecting to your home’s existing utilities, this ADU style is more convenient than others.
• Garage conversion: Our ADU builders can construct an additional living space on top of your garage to make an office or extra entertainment space. A garage ADU offers more privacy than a basement conversion, and it makes the most of unused space on your property.
• Attached ADU expansion: An attached ADU is an expansion of the main house, usually on the side or back of your property. Like a basement conversion, this configuration uses your existing electrical and plumbing systems. You might want to build an attached ADU if you’re caring for an elderly relative.
• Separate unit: A detached ADU gives you a private place to work, relax or entertain loved ones. If you have enough land for it, this miniature guest house would be ideal for accommodating family members or downsizing your current living situation.
