Benefits of Extending Your Home

Increased Living Space

01

Extensions allow homeowners to expand their living areas without the hassle and expense of moving. This is especially valuable in San Francisco, where housing inventory is limited and prices are high. 

02

Enhanced Property Value

Well-designed extensions typically increase a home's market value significantly. In San Francisco's robust real estate market, this can translate to substantial financial gains.

03

Improved Energy Efficiency

Extending older homes provides an opportunity to upgrade insulation, windows, and systems. This can lead to better energy performance and lower utility costs. 

Types of Home Extensions

Single-story extensions are popular choices for expanding ground floor areas. These can add extra living rooms, larger kitchens, or home offices. Two-story extensions provide even more space, allowing for additional bedrooms or bathrooms upstairs.


Loft conversions transform unused attic space into functional rooms. Basement extensions can create entirely new living areas below ground level. Conservatories and sunrooms blend indoor comfort with outdoor views, perfect for the Bay Area's climate.


Rear extensions are common in SF, maximizing backyard space. Side return extensions utilize narrow areas alongside homes. Wrap-around extensions combine side and rear expansions for a dramatic transformation.

Interior Design and Finishing

Choosing a Style

We recommend selecting a style that complements your existing home while incorporating fresh elements. In SF and Palo Alto, modern and transitional styles are popular choices for extensions. Modern designs feature clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, and large windows to maximize natural light. Transitional styles blend traditional and contemporary elements for a timeless look.

Material Selection

We prioritize high-quality, eco-friendly options that stand up to Bay Area weather conditions. For flooring, hardwood remains a classic choice. We often use engineered wood for its stability in our climate. Porcelain tiles are excellent for bathrooms and kitchens, offering durability and a wide range of designs.
