Most home additions require permits for structural, electrical, or plumbing changes. This ensures that your new space complies with Florida building codes and integrates safely with your home.
High winds and heavy rain influence roofing choices, structural design, drainage, and material selection. Planning for these conditions helps protect the long-term stability of the addition.
A home addition can take anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on its size, design, and material availability. Weather and permitting can also impact scheduling in Florida.
Screened rooms, covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and paver spaces are popular options. These features help homeowners enjoy their outdoor spaces while staying protected from heat and insects.
Master suites, guest suites, ADUs, and second-story expansions are common choices. These additions often provide practical living space without requiring a move.
