Island lots are precious, and moving means giving up your spot on the water. An addition lets you stay and gain the space you need — a primary suite, a second story for more bedrooms, or the indoor-outdoor living the Gulf lifestyle is made for. On the barrier islands, additions also mean coastal engineering and flood-zone rules, which is exactly where our design-build expertise pays off.
Coastal Additions We Build
- Room additions — great rooms, offices, sunrooms, bonus spaces
- Primary suite additions with spa baths and water views
- Second-story additions to gain bedrooms on a tight lot
- In-law and guest suites with private access
- Covered porches, rooftop decks, and outdoor kitchens
- Elevated and flood-conscious additions where required
Matched to Your Home, Engineered for the Coast
A great addition looks original — matching rooflines, materials, and floor levels so the new space flows from the old. On the islands, it also has to satisfy wind-load, elevation, and flood requirements. We design for both: a seamless look and the coastal engineering that keeps it solid, compliant, and insurable.
Adding in a flood zone? New square footage and substantial additions can carry elevation and code requirements. We plan for them from day one so your addition is compliant and protected.
What a Coastal Addition Costs
Additions are priced by size, complexity, and the structural, elevation, and systems work the tie-in requires — a simple room addition differs greatly from a second story on a coastal foundation. We assess your home and goals, give you a real budget before design, then build to it.
One Coordinated Team
Design, engineering, permitting, and construction under one roof means your addition is planned correctly from the start — no gap between architect and builder where coastal details, budgets, and timelines slip.
