What We Build

Every Type of Addition

From a simple mudroom to a full second story — here's what MSP Homes builds.

Add a bedroom, home office, playroom, or sunroom. We design the new space to feel like it was always part of the home — not an afterthought.

Primary bedroom suite
Home office / study
Sunroom or four-season room
Guest bedroom

Kitchen & Living Expansions

Bump out your kitchen, expand your living room, or open up the back of the house for an open-concept main floor. The most impactful addition for daily living.

The James Project

A whole-home addition and remodel in Minneapolis that added a mudroom off the garage, expanded the main living area, and finished the lower level — all designed by Maria and built by Scott's crew. The result feels like it was always one home.

From Vision to Completion

Additions are complex projects. Here's how MSP Homes manages every phase.

01

Vision & Feasibility

We discuss what you need — more bedrooms, a larger kitchen, a mudroom, a garage — and Scott evaluates the structural feasibility, setback requirements, and site conditions. Maria sketches initial concepts.

02

Design & Architecture

Maria develops the addition design to match your home's existing architecture and interior style. We work with our architect to produce permit-ready drawings.

03

Engineering & Permits

Scott coordinates structural engineering, soil reports if needed, and all permit applications. We handle the city approval process so you don't have to.

04

Detailed Proposal

A line-item proposal covering all labor, materials, permits, and contingency. Additions involve more variables than interior remodels — we build in appropriate contingency and explain every line.

05

Foundation & Framing

Excavation, foundation, framing, and roof tie-in — the most critical phases of any addition. Scott personally oversees the structural work to ensure it's done right.

06

Mechanical & Envelope

Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, windows, and exterior cladding — all integrated with your existing systems and matched to your home's exterior.

07

Interior Finish

Drywall, flooring, trim, cabinetry, fixtures, and paint — finished to match or complement the existing home. Maria ensures the new space feels like it was always there.

08

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

City final inspection, punch-list completion, and a thorough walkthrough with you. 2-year workmanship warranty on all work.
