Add Space That Fits How You Live

Home additions designed for growing families in Colbert, Washington.

When your home in Colbert no longer fits your family, your work, or your storage needs, an addition gives you the space you need without moving. Whether you need another bedroom, a larger kitchen, a home office, or a mudroom that keeps winter gear organized, an addition built correctly feels like it was always part of the house. It does not look tacked on, and it does not create structural problems or drafts.

McDonaldNSonsDecks builds home additions with attention to framing, roofing, and how the new space connects to your existing foundation and roof structure. Each project starts with a clear plan that accounts for load-bearing walls, roof pitch, window placement, and how the addition will be insulated and finished. The goal is to create space that blends with your home and performs as well as the original structure.

What goes into building an addition safely

Your addition project in Colbert begins with site evaluation, foundation work, and framing that ties into your existing structure. McDonaldNSonsDecks removes siding where the addition will connect, installs new floor joists or a concrete slab, and frames walls and roof to match the existing pitch and overhang. Windows and doors are installed, insulation is added, and the exterior is finished to match your home.

Once the addition is complete, you will have a room that stays warm in winter, does not leak when it rains, and feels like it has always been part of your home. The floor does not bounce, the walls are square, and the roof does not create ice dams or drainage problems.

Every addition is built to meet local codes and pass inspection, which means the structure is safe, properly insulated, and built to last. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, but quality is never rushed. This is not a quick frame job—it is a carefully planned build that respects your home and your budget.

What homeowners want to know before adding space

Homeowners planning an addition often ask how long the project takes, whether the roof will match, and what happens to the existing structure during construction. These are practical concerns, and the answers depend on your home, your site, and how the addition is designed.

What types of additions are most common in Colbert?
Most additions include extra bedrooms, expanded kitchens, mudrooms, or home offices. McDonaldNSonsDecks works with you to design space that fits your needs and blends with your home's existing layout and roofline.
How long does a home addition take to build?
A typical addition takes six to twelve weeks, depending on size, foundation type, and weather conditions. The timeline includes framing, roofing, insulation, exterior finishing, and interior work, with no rushed steps that compromise structural integrity.
Why is it important to match the roof pitch?
Matching the roof pitch keeps the addition from looking out of place and prevents water from pooling where the old and new roofs meet. A properly tied-in roof sheds water and snow correctly and does not create leaks or drainage problems.
What happens to the existing wall where the addition connects?
The existing wall is opened up carefully, and framing is adjusted to support the new load. Siding and insulation are removed where the addition attaches, and the connection is sealed and insulated to prevent drafts and moisture problems.
What happens if the ground slopes where the addition will be built?
McDonaldNSonsDecks adjusts the foundation to level the addition on sloped ground. This may involve a taller foundation wall, additional grading, or a deeper footing on the downhill side to keep the floor level and stable.
