An A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects a decade of keeping owners informed on long projects. Adventure Construction & Remodel builds home additions in Redding, CA with the foundation, roof tie-in, and setback questions answered before design work begins.
Expert Home Additions for Your Growing Household
A home addition expands the footprint of your house with new foundation, framing, roof, and systems, built to tie into the existing structure as if it had always been there.
It gives a family more room without giving up the neighborhood, the schools, or the equity already built into the property.
- Bedroom, primary suite, family room, and sunroom additions
- Bump-outs that add 40 to 150 square feet for a dining nook or larger bathroom
- Second story additions where lot setbacks limit building outward
- Foundation, framing, roof tie-in, and exterior finishes matched to the existing home
- HVAC extension or new equipment sized for the added square footage

Benefits of Adding On Instead of Moving
Moving looks simpler until you price it out. Here is what a well planned addition gets you in this market.
You Keep the Property You Already Own
Selling and rebuying means agent commissions, closing costs, moving expenses, and a new mortgage at current rates. That transaction cost alone can fund a significant portion of an addition.
Under Proposition 13, your existing assessment is protected and only the new square footage gets reassessed. Moving resets the whole basis at today's market value.
Space Designed for How Your Family Lives
A tract floor plan gives you rooms someone else chose. An addition gives you the primary suite, the office, or the second bathroom exactly where it makes sense for your household.
That matters for multigenerational families, which we see often around Redding, Anderson, and Palo Cedro. A ground floor suite with its own bathroom keeps a parent close without crowding everyone.
Permitted Square Footage That Counts
Finished, permitted square footage shows up on the appraisal and in the county record. Unpermitted space does not, and it creates problems at sale or refinance.
Additions do not usually return dollar for dollar at resale, so we are upfront about that. Build for how you want to live, with resale as a secondary consideration.
Less Disruption Than a Full Remodel
Ground floor additions are largely built outside the existing walls. Most families stay in the home through the bulk of the work, with the loud phase limited to where the new space ties in.
Second story additions are different, since the roof comes off and work happens above your living space. Those projects usually require relocating, so budget for it.

How Our Addition Contractors Manage the Build
Adventure Construction & Remodel uses proven methods, quality materials, and transparent communication from initial estimate to final walk-through.
Feasibility and Budget
We check setbacks, lot coverage, septic capacity, and utilities, then price a realistic range. You decide scope before paying for drawings.
Design and Approvals
We coordinate plans and engineering, refer an architect when the structure requires stamped drawings, and submit the permit package.
Foundation and Shell
Footings, foundation, framing, roof tie-in, windows, and siding go up with inspections at each stage. The structure is weather tight before it is opened into the house.
Connect and Finish
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC tie into the existing systems, then insulation, drywall, and finishes go in. We open the wall between old and new last to limit disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our home additions service in Redding, CA.
How much does a home addition cost in Redding, CA?
Home additions in Redding, CA generally run $200 to $350 per square foot for a finished, permitted ground floor addition with mid range finishes. That puts a 300 square foot bedroom addition at roughly $60,000 to $105,000.
A primary suite with a full bathroom runs higher, usually $250 to $400 per square foot, because of the plumbing, tile, and fixtures. Second story additions typically start around $300 per square foot due to structural reinforcement, stairs, and roof rebuild.
Soft costs add $10,000 to $40,000 for design, engineering, permits, and school fees. Contact Adventure Construction & Remodel for an estimate specific to your home.
Is it cheaper to build out or build up?
Building out is almost always cheaper per square foot. A ground floor addition needs a new foundation but avoids structural reinforcement of the existing walls, a new staircase, and a full roof removal.
Building up makes sense when setbacks, lot coverage, or septic leach field location prevent expanding the footprint. It also preserves yard space on smaller lots.
We look at your parcel and price the option your site actually allows. Call us and we will walk the property with you.
Will my addition trigger a property tax increase?
Yes, on the new square footage. Under Proposition 13 your existing assessment stays protected, but the addition is assessed at current market value and added to your annual bill.
California school districts also charge a developer fee on new assessable space, which applies to residential additions over 500 square feet.
We factor permit fees and school fees into the estimate so the full cost is visible up front rather than arriving later.
How long does a home addition take?
Design and permitting typically take 2 to 4 months. Construction runs 3 to 5 months for a single room addition and 5 to 8 months for a primary suite or a second story.
Weather affects the schedule here, since foundation and framing work slows during heavy winter rain between November and March.
We schedule the foundation and dry-in phases around the season whenever possible and give you a written timeline before work begins.
Can I stay in my house during construction?
For most ground floor additions, yes. The new structure is framed and enclosed outside the existing walls, and we leave the connecting wall intact until late in the project.
Second story additions are the exception. Once the roof is removed, the home is exposed and unlivable, so plan on relocating for several months.
If the addition ties into a kitchen or takes a bathroom offline, tell us early and we will sequence around it.
