Love Your Home, but You've Run Out of Room?

You need another bedroom, a first-floor suite for aging parents, a bigger kitchen, or a garage, but you don't want to move and start over somewhere new. An addition is the right call, except it's also the most complex project a home can take on: foundation, framing, rooflines, permits, and finishes all have to tie into the existing house seamlessly. Get the wrong crew and you're left with an addition that looks bolted on and a budget that's long gone.

How We Build Your Addition

Step one | In-Home Consultation and Design

 We walk your home, talk through what you need, and bring in designers and architects to put the addition on paper.

Step two | A Clear Plan, Quote, and Permits

You get an itemized proposal with cost and timeline, and we manage the permitting and the subcontractors involved.

Step three | We Build It, Start to Finish

From the excavator breaking ground to our crew mopping the floors, one team manages the entire build and ties it cleanly into your existing home.

Any design change along the way is priced and approved with you before it happens.

"Quinlan built our 26'×30' two-story addition, master suite up top and a two-car garage below, on time and on budget, even through weather and supply delays. Their craftsmanship far exceeded anything we could have designed ourselves." — Adam K.

More About Home Additions in Pittsburgh

Quinlan Contracting builds home additions in Pittsburgh and the surrounding western suburbs, including Moon Township, Sewickley, Coraopolis, and Robinson. Our additions range from a single room or a first-floor in-law suite to full two-story additions with a master suite and garage. A home addition is the most involved project a house can take on, tying new foundation, framing, rooflines, and finishes into the existing structure, which is exactly why having one accountable crew matters. We manage the entire addition from the first design consultation and permitting through the final walkthrough, hold to the quoted price, and communicate every detail and every change before the work is done. If your family has outgrown your home but not your neighborhood, we'd be glad to walk the property and talk through what an addition could look like.
