Home Additions
Construction Solutions of Utah builds home additions and second-story additions for Bountiful homeowners, matched to your existing home.
A home addition adds new, permanent square footage to your house, from one extra room to a full second story. Construction Solutions of Utah builds additions that tie into your home's existing structure, roofline, and finishes, so the new space looks like it always belonged. We handle the design, the permit, and the full build.
What counts as a home addition, and what size fits your Utah lot?
A home addition is new square footage built onto your existing house. That can mean a room bumped out from your kitchen, a converted garage, or a full second story added above your current roof. It is different from a remodel, which reworks space you already have. An addition changes your home's footprint or height, adds to your foundation or framing, and needs its own building permit and inspections.
Most Bountiful and Davis County lots can support a modest addition, from a small bump-out room to a full second story. What limits the size is your lot, the setback rules from your property line, and how much new weight your existing foundation and framing can carry. We visit your property, take real measurements, and tell you honestly what will fit before you spend a dollar on drawings.
Room addition or second story: do you need a permit either way?
A ground-level room addition builds out from your house and needs a new foundation section and yard space. A second-story addition builds up instead, adding a full floor without shrinking your yard. Second stories need a closer structural review, since your existing walls and foundation now carry more weight above them. We study your lot and your home's current framing, then recommend the option that fits your budget and your space.
Yes. Utah cities require a building permit for any home addition, since you are changing your home's footprint or structure. Bountiful and the surrounding Davis County cities each review addition plans through their own building department before work can start. We prepare the drawings, submit the permit application, and schedule the required inspections as part of your project, so you are not left to handle the paperwork alone.
How do we match your addition to your home and build it step by step?
A good addition looks like it belongs, not like it was tacked on later. We match your roofline, siding, and trim to your home's existing style, and we tie new framing into your current structure the right way. Windows and doors get sized to match the rest of your house. The goal is a finished addition that adds real space without changing how your home looks from the street.
We start with a free visit and a written estimate for your project. Next, we draw the plans and handle the permit application with your city. Once it is approved, our crew builds the foundation, frames the addition, and ties in the roof, siding, plumbing, and electrical. We finish with drywall, flooring, and trim, then walk the finished space with you before we call the job done.
One crew, one point of contact for your whole project
The same crew that gives you your estimate builds your addition and finishes it, so you are never handed off partway through. Construction Solutions of Utah is licensed (UT 14241087-5501) and insured, family owned, and based right in Bountiful. If a question comes up mid-project, you reach the people who already know your job, not a stranger reading a file for the first time.
Best Home Additions in Bountiful, UT
Construction Solutions of Utah is based in Bountiful and builds home additions across Davis County and the wider Salt Lake Valley, including Layton, Kaysville, and Salt Lake City. Owner David Despain grew up in the trades, and his family brings three generations of hands-on skill to structural work like framing and roof tie-ins. Being local means we can visit fast and stand behind the work long after the crew leaves.
Home additions compared to other remodeling projects
A home addition adds new square footage, while a kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel reworks space you already have. A Trex or composite deck extends your living space outdoors, not inside your walls. Many homeowners pair an addition with a kitchen or bathroom update once the new framing is done.

FAQ
Home Additions, common questions
Where can I find home additions near me in Bountiful?
Construction Solutions of Utah builds home additions in Bountiful and nearby Davis County towns like Layton and Kaysville, plus Salt Lake City and other communities within about 40 miles. We are a service-area contractor, so we come to you for a free, on-site estimate. Call us or fill out our online form to set up a time.
Is a home addition worth the cost compared to moving to a bigger house?
For many Bountiful homeowners, yes. An addition keeps you in your neighborhood, your schools, and your yard, and it skips the cost of selling, buying, and moving. The real cost depends on size, whether you build up or out, and your finish choices. We give every homeowner a free, written estimate built around your exact plans before you decide.
Who is responsible if something goes wrong during my home addition?
Construction Solutions of Utah carries contractor's insurance, so you are protected if property damage happens during your addition. We also put your project's scope and price in writing before work starts, and we honor that agreement start to finish. If a problem comes up after the crew leaves, you call us directly, not a subcontractor we can no longer reach.
How long does a home addition take to build?
Most home additions take about two to four months to build once your permit is approved, depending on size and whether you are adding a second story. Permit review itself can add several more weeks in Davis County. We walk you through a realistic schedule before work starts, so you know what to expect and when your new space will be ready to use.
Do I need to move out of my house during a home addition?
Most homeowners stay in their house during a home addition. We section off the work area and keep your entrances and daily living space clear while we build. Noise and dust are heaviest during framing and demolition, then taper off. If your project ties in close to your kitchen or only bathroom, we will talk through a short-term plan together.
