Home Additions in Missoula, MT
More house, without moving.
University city with older housing, progressive community values, and a renovation market that is more active than the city's size suggests.
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.

Missoula conditions
Building additions for Missoula conditions
An addition in Missoula ties new foundation to old, and the northern Rockies cold 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.
