Premium home additions for one of America's most desirable communities. Fixed-price proposals, 10-year workmanship warranty, and design-build from the same team.

McLean is home to some of the most established residential architecture in Fairfax County — mid-century estates in Langley, brick colonials in Chesterbrook, and modern new-builds throughout the 22101 corridor. Adding on here requires a light touch: careful grading around mature oaks, architectural details that honor the original massing, and a finish level that matches the $1M+ surrounding market.
We serve every ZIP code in McLean: 22101, 22102. We know the local HOAs, county permitting process, and what kinds of additions the local housing stock best supports.

Estate-scale homes on wooded lots — additions here are almost always designed to disappear into the original architecture.
Classic brick colonials where a rear family-room addition or master-suite expansion is the most common upgrade.
Closer to Tysons. Newer homes and teardown-rebuilds mixed in — strong demand for second-story and bump-out additions.
Mid-century ranches begging for second-story additions that nearly double livable square footage.
Original 1950s cottages on deep lots. Our sweet spot for full-back additions and above-garage bonus rooms.
Tight-knit enclave of colonials near downtown McLean. HOA-adjacent architectural expectations are high.

Architect, designer, and build crew all under one roof. No finger-pointing between a separate designer and contractor when something needs a change.
We stand behind the structure, framing, roofing, and waterproofing for a full decade. Most of our clients need us back only to start the next project.
We walk you through every phase — from first sketch to final walk-through — with a fixed price locked in before a single crew member shows up.
We walk your home, listen to what you need, measure, and sketch possibilities on the spot. About 60–90 minutes.

Daily site cleanliness, weekly progress updates, and a punch-list walkthrough before we consider the job done.
"They added a 600 sq ft master suite off the back of our home and the seam between old and new is invisible. Hit every milestone, no change orders."
"We interviewed four contractors for a second-story addition. They were the only ones who showed up with a real sketch and a real timeline. Worth every penny."
"Built a full in-law suite above our garage for my mother. They handled the HOA review, permits, and finished a week early. The crew was respectful and clean every single day."
Most additions in our service area run between $225 and $400 per square foot, depending on finishes, whether the addition is single-story or two-story, and how much new mechanical work is involved (HVAC zones, new electrical panel, plumbing runs). We provide a fixed, written price after a free in-home consultation so there are no surprises.
From signed contract to move-in, a straightforward bump-out typically takes 10–14 weeks. A second-story addition usually runs 5–7 months. Design, permitting, and HOA review (which is heavy in many NoVA communities) account for roughly half of that timeline, so starting early always pays off.
For most additions — no. We seal the work area from the rest of the house, maintain access to your kitchen and bathrooms, and schedule the most disruptive phases (cutting openings, HVAC tie-ins) for minimal impact. For whole-house or second-story projects where the roof comes off, temporary lodging is sometimes recommended.
In Northern Virginia's market, well-designed additions typically recoup 65–85% of their cost at resale and often more in high-demand ZIPs like McLean, Great Falls, and Vienna. A master suite, second-story bedroom addition, or expanded kitchen tends to deliver the highest ROI.

Every one. Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Arlington County, and the City of Alexandria each have their own process and inspectors — we pull the permits, schedule inspections, and handle any corrections. You never stand in line at a county office.
