Home Addition Contractors in Chicago's Western Suburbs

Most Luxe home additions run $100,000 to $200,000, depending on size, structural scope, and finish level. The band is wide because a sunroom, a main-floor room addition, and a full second story are very different builds. You'll approve a fixed, itemized budget before construction begins, so there's no estimating game at the end.

Yes. That's the core of how we design. The architect on the project carries the original home's rooflines, proportions, and materials into the new space, and the engineer ties the new structure to the old so floors stay level and walls stay true. If we can't source an exact material match, we'll show you the closest options before anything is ordered.

Usually, yes. Room, wing, and sunroom additions stay outside your living space for most of the build, and we don't open the wall between old and new until late in the schedule. A full second story addition is different. The roof comes off, so many families arrange to stay elsewhere during the structural phase. We'll map this out with you before you commit to anything.

Yes, all of it. Luxe is a design-build firm, which means the architect, structural engineer, and builder work on one team. We produce the drawings, run the structural calculations, and manage the village permit process from application through final inspection.

It depends on scope, and we'd rather give you a real schedule than a generic one. A sunroom moves faster than a wing, and a wing moves faster than a second story. You'll receive a realistic timeline with your fixed budget before construction begins, and we build weather-tight as early as possible to protect the home.

Not always, but the existing foundation must prove it can carry the new load. The same structural engineer evaluates your footings, foundation walls, and first-floor framing before the design is finished. If reinforcement is needed, it's designed in and priced into your itemized budget up front, not discovered mid-build.
