Home Additions
Home additions give you more space without the disruption of moving, and without settling for a layout that doesn't fit how your family actually lives now. Scheibe Construction designs and builds additions that match your home's existing architecture, from sunrooms to full garage buildouts, drawing on over.
25 years of experience as a home addition contractor across McHenry, Lake, Kane, and Walworth counties.
Living Space Additions
Expanding your home's usable space may involve building onto the existing structure or turning an overlooked area like a porch into a finished room. Done properly, the new space should function as a natural extension of the home instead of feeling detached from the rest of the house.
Sunrooms
A sunroom addition adds useful living area while bringing more natural light and outdoor views into the home. Designed as a comfortable transition between your interior spaces and the outdoors, it can make the home feel more open and connected to the surrounding environment. We handle the framing, glazing, and interior finishing needed to make the new room work naturally with your home's existing structure and architectural style.
Bedroom & Home Buildouts
A home addition can be as focused as creating a new bedroom or enlarging the primary suite, or as extensive as reworking multiple rooms together. We handle the structural framing, building systems, and finish work required throughout the project, with careful attention to how the new space connects to the existing house. The finished result should look and function like a natural part of the home.
Three-Season Rooms
A three-season room offers a middle ground between a fully conditioned addition and an open-air porch, usable through spring, summer, and fall with the flexibility to add heating for cooler months. We build these with attention to insulation, glazing, and ventilation so the room performs well in the seasons you'll actually use it.
Garages
A garage addition can provide much-needed parking, storage, or dedicated workspace while expanding the functionality of your home. Like any home addition, the project requires careful planning around the foundation, structural framing, and building code requirements.
Garage additions
A new garage addition project can be built as either an attached or detached structure and tailored to fit naturally with your home's design. We coordinate the rooflines and exterior finishes so the addition doesn't look out of place, then configure the space for vehicles, storage, workshop use, or a combination of these needs.
Foundation & concrete work included as part of garage construction
Every garage addition starts with a proper foundation, excavation, footings, and a poured slab built to support the structure and whatever you plan to store or park inside it. For more detail on how we approach foundation and framing work generally, see our Custom Carpentry page.
