FAQ
FAQ About San Diego Room Additions
- 01
How long does a typical room addition take in San Diego?
It depends! A typical room addition project in San Diego can take about 12 months from design to completed construction. Our part — drafting and permitting — is typically completed starting from 4 months, setting a solid foundation for a smooth build.
- 02
What’s the difference between a room addition and an ADU?
A room addition expands your existing home by adding space that connects directly to your current layout. In contrast, an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) is a self-contained living space with its own entrance, often used for rental income or independent living.
- 03
How much does a room addition cost?
Room addition costs vary widely based on size, design, and property conditions. Our drafting and permitting services typically make up just 3-4 percent of the total project cost, and we offer a free consultation to provide an accurate estimate tailored to your goals.
- 04
How much value does a room addition add?
The value a room addition adds depends on the type and size of the space. Larger additions like kitchens or living areas can recoup up to 70 percent of their cost, while smaller additions like bedrooms or offices may increase property value by around 15–30 percent.
- 05
Are home additions tax-deductible?
No, home additions are generally not tax-deductible, as they are considered capital improvements. However, they may increase your home's cost basis, which can reduce capital gains taxes if you sell the property in the future.
- 06
Do I need an architect for a home addition?
You don’t necessarily need an architect for a home addition — our team of experienced drafters can create detailed, code-compliant plans tailored to your project. We specialize in producing high-quality construction drawings and handling the permitting process, saving you time and money without compromising on design.
