Home Additions in Cincinnati, OH
More house, without moving.
Hyde Park, Mount Lookout, and OTR are three different Cincinnati renovation markets, each with its own pace and price point.
An addition has to tie into the existing structure cleanly or it shows. We match you with builders who handle the foundation, framing, and roofline tie-in, plus the zoning and permit gauntlet that scares off lesser crews.

Additions in Cincinnati: the local detail that matters
An addition in Cincinnati ties new foundation to old, and the Ohio Valley winters mean footings have to reach below frost depth or the two structures move against each other and crack. The new roof has to carry local snow load, so the structure is engineered to spec and stamped.
