At Queen Remodeling, we have the expertise to plan and construct your Alhambra room addition projects and manage the entire construction from start to finish.
We will be responsible for the following:
To set a clear direction for your home addition, we start by letting you explain the problem you plan to solve.
Our representative will ask about the type and size of room addition or extension you want, where you want it positioned, the features and systems you need to be installed, and your desired outcome. With these guiding questions, we will help you define the project scope and understand your goals.
Armed with our plans and designs, we will present your Alhambra room addition project to the city’s Planning Division to approve the project and move to the Building Division to get the necessary permits.
For construction, we will ensure the exterior and interior plans meld functionally and aesthetically with the existing infrastructure of your home. The new room must not represent over 1/3 of the length of the home when viewing it curbside.
Our construction team also pays special attention to different features, such as load-bearing components, roof lines, elevations, and the placements of windows and doors, to ensure the structural integrity of your entire home and the new room addition are sound.
When you come to us for your Alhambra home addition project, our team will take a bigger focus on boosting your home value and lifestyle.
Here are some of the different options that you can choose from:
Most bump-out add-ons we do in Alhambra allow you to add space to your home without having to do any foundation work. Bump outs hang over the existing edges of your main house and make an existing room more spacious.
One of the most common bump-out additions in Alhambra are the kitchen and bathroom extensions because they are the easiest way to add square footage.
This is a multi-room structure built directly on your existing home to increase your livable square footage significantly. We consider your home’s architectural style and details to ensure they can merge and become one big house naturally.
The addition can be any room such as a dining room, great room, guest bedroom, family room, bathroom or even a master bedroom
Also known as the Four Seasons Rooms, modern sunrooms are a great choice because they can be diverse in their design. They offer all the benefits of added square footage while bringing the outdoors closer. The added features can even be alternatives to a bump-out or full-scale addition to houses.
By adding interior elements like flooring, ceiling, windows and replacing the open entries with solid walls, we can transform your attic space and garage into living rooms or bedrooms as per your need. They are easier to convert into living spaces since most of the structural elements required are already pre-existing.
Other most sought-after type room addition in Alhambra include:
Bathroom additions can include many types of functionality and safety features, and there is no end to the creativity that you can apply. A beautiful new bathroom addition can include: Freestanding tub, Walk-in shower, Safety and accessibility features, Dual vanities, and a Modern design.
Adding to or creating a whole new room for a kitchen can give you the kitchen space you have dreamed of. We can add islands, bars, new oven and stove enclaves, breakfast nooks, incredible backsplashes and details that will improve the space.
Our unique design-build process ensures your room addition project is completed with outstanding results from our first meeting until the last day of the project.
If you need substantial new square footage, another viable option is expanding your home upward. We can nearly double your interior space by building a full second-story home addition onto your home or opt for a second-floor expansion to a specific section of your home.
Here are the factors we take into consideration;
With a second-story addition in Alhambra, you will now have extra space upstairs, allowing you to reimagine the downstairs completely. It is an opportunity to create a new layout that works much better for your family by merging rooms or creating open-concept floor plans, for example.
To ensure you complete your room addition in Alhambra, we will guide you through home addition assistance programs offered on the state and local government levels. In particular:
For ADA-compliant room addition in Alhambra, we focus on adding features that increase a disabled person’s independence and reduce frustrations.
Our Handicap-accessible home addition recommendations include the following:
Yes! You need a construction permit to build a home addition. If the room addition is smaller, you may qualify for a subject-to-field inspection permit, which has fewer requirements and may be faster to obtain from the Building Division.
It depends on your zoning. The City of Alhambra Building Division limits the size and location of your addition. The combined footprint of all structures in single-family zones cannot exceed 1/3 of the length of the existing home when viewing it curbside. There are also height limits, dependent on use and location.
It depends. Typically, building up will require structural support to hold the weight of another floor on top of the existing one – this isn’t always an easy process. Building out, sometimes referred to as a home extension or home expansion, is often easier but comes with unique considerations.
Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons relating to your unique home.
Yes! Our Alhambra room addition projects are developed with an engineer’s input, with critical structural details like beam sizes spelt out in the plans before you we start the construction. We also engage the city of Alhambra Planning and Building Division for approval.
The Alhambra Building Division provides minimum requirements for design and construction. Some things you will need to obtain a permit include the existing footprint, a detailed design plan, and an electrical plan.
