Additions and business-space improvements.
Make better use of your space
Sometimes the problem is a lack of room. Other times, the rooms you have simply do not connect well. A cramped entry, awkward kitchen, or living area cut off from the rest of the house can affect how you use the entire home.
Remodeling starts with what needs to work differently. That may lead to changes within the existing footprint or an addition that creates the space the original home is missing. Establishing that purpose keeps the project focused as layout and finish decisions develop.
Keep the parts of the home you love
A renovation does not have to erase the character of the original home. Existing brick, woodwork, cabinetry, or a room you enjoy can become part of the design. The important question is how the new work will relate to the features you want to keep.
Materials and proportions make that connection visible. A new finish might continue into an adjoining room, while an addition might take its cues from the original roofline and exterior. Those relationships deserve as much attention as the new space itself.
Plan for life during construction
Work on an occupied property affects daily routines. A kitchen remodel involves a different level of disruption from an exterior addition, and the scope determines which rooms or entrances can remain in use.
We need to understand how your family or business uses the property before settling on the work. Access, operating hours, essential rooms, and important dates all belong in that planning. Whether you can continue using a space depends on the changes involved.
An addition that belongs with the home
An addition should improve the original home as well as adding space. Its entrance, roofline, and connection to adjoining rooms all affect the result. Jackie Riddle works with clients on layout and selections, while TD Riddle brings hands-on construction experience to the project.
Our porch addition for Kelly Fuller’s brick ranch shows how a focused improvement can change the feel of a home. Her review describes the difference the new entrance made to a house that already had its own character.
Know what your remodel includes
The estimate should relate to a defined set of changes. The existing condition of the property, materials you want to retain, new selections, and any earlier alterations all help shape that scope.
If your wish list is larger than your immediate plans, identify the work that matters most. Some decisions may need to account for a future phase, particularly where new work connects to an area you expect to change later. A clear scope makes it easier to weigh those choices against your budget.
Questions about remodels & additions
Can a remodel be divided into phases?
It may be possible, depending on how the work connects. Tell us what you want to complete first and what you expect to do later so the initial scope can account for both.
What if I do not have drawings of the existing building?
You can still get in touch. A description of the space and any photos or measurements you have can help us understand the project. We will discuss what else is needed from there.
Can new finishes match the materials already in my home?
Show us what you want to retain. Product details and samples are helpful when available. The options depend on the existing materials and the choices available for the new work.
Can I plan the work around a particular event?
Include the date when you contact us. The scope and timing need to be reviewed before you make arrangements that depend on the work being finished.

With the expertise of TD and his intense attention to detail, accompanied with the final finishing touches of elegance by Jackie, this porch addition has completely transformed my plain-jane brick ranch house into a spectacular and welcoming show-stopper.”
