Is your home’s space not serving your family and lifestyle needs well?

Outgrowing the space in your home remains commonplace for homeowners. But lack of space does not always mean having to leave the home and neighborhood you love.

Does your home feel outdated and cramped?

A well-thought-out home addition can be the perfect solution, providing space, function and beauty to your Pittsburgh area home.

Building a home addition does not have to be intimidating.

We understand how designing and building an addition on your Pittsburgh home can seem impossible. You may be asking:

  • How can we rework this space and actually make it work for us?
  • What will we find when we open up a wall or start re-plumbing a bathroom?
  • How will we finance this project?

Don’t worry. At Action Builders, we’ve seen it all. Our philosophy focuses on quality rather than quantity, so we are committed to delivering the highest level of work. We do this using a design and build process that places a heavy emphasis on planning before the first tile is removed or the first nail is hammered.

Our Home Addition Process

Building the perfect Pittsburgh home addition does not have to be overwhelming or intimidating, but you may not even know where to begin once you’ve decided you are ready to build an addition. Relax! We do them every day and lead you through the process step by step. Communication stands as the cornerstone of a successful home addition, so we believe it’s important for you to understand what to expect during the process, from the first conversation to the last coat of paint.

Our Design-Build Process

Your project will consist of two phases:

  • The Design Process
  • The Selection Process
  • The Build Process

Each has a distinct and proven course to keep the project on schedule and on budget. We consult with you through the process of acquiring all the proper documentation, laying out the floor plan and selecting all of the finishes to prepare for the build phase of the project. (See our FAQs for more details.)

Once the design project has been completed, we work to demolish any existing structures and implement all of your thoughts into your new, well-constructed addition.

Once the design process has been completed, the selection process begins! This process involves finalizing as many finishes as possible between contract signing and construction start. This ensures a smoother project execution with pre-determined layouts for tile, flooring, cabinets, and finishes. Materials are carefully approved, and specifications are finalized before progressing to the build process.

Once all required permits are obtained, the build process begins! We work to demolish any existing structures and implement all of your thoughts into your new, well-constructed addition.
