When Every Square Foot Counts: Calculating
The Cost Of Your Plymouth Home Addition

Bringing Your Vision For Your Living Space
To Life While Staying Within Your Budget

Your Plymouth home addition is a significant investment – one you should thoroughly plan out before work begins. Factoring the costs of everything is key to having the perfect home addition, no matter how big or small your budget.

It’s easy to think about the big things, such as setting up walls, but you also need to factor in the costs of the less obvious things, such as electrical wiring or plumbing.

The cost of home additions can vary widely depending on the kind of addition, materials, permits, labor, and more.

Proper budget management is just one of the reasons why you should hire a top-quality design-build firm like Executive Remodeling. We work closely within your budget to present you with the very best solutions for your home.

Calculating the costs of your home addition can help you better manage your budget and get all the features you need.

Which Home Additions Are The Most Expensive?

Not all home additions are created equal. Simpler home additions, or small spaces without much plumbing or electrical work involved, cost the least. These are usually rooms such as mudrooms.

Bathrooms and kitchens can be the most expensive home additions due to the required materials and features, such as sinks, counters, and cabinets. They also require extensive plumbing work that can add up quickly.

Factor 1: Size, Type, And Scope Of Your Home Addition

While square footage alone doesn’t determine the cost of a home addition, it’s a good indicator when determining your budget.

A spacious home addition doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be more expensive than a smaller home addition. After all, a large yet uncomplicated dining room addition usually costs less than a kitchen addition of half the size. But generally, the size of the home addition means a higher cost.

The more square footage your addition has, the more flooring, paint, drywall, and other surface materials you’ll need.

Factor 2: The Type Of Home Addition

The type of home addition is one of the determining factors in the budget, along with size. Large additions with extensive plumbing or electrical work will cost more than smaller, simpler additions.

The most common home additions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Area are:

Laundry room / Mudroom addition
Second story addition
Dining room addition
Living room addition
Bathroom addition
Sunroom addition
Bedroom addition
Kitchen addition

Luxury home additions are usually more spacious and feature higher-end materials than simpler additions, which will increase the cost. Consider the differences between an added guest bathroom and a luxury master bath.

Factor 3: The Electrical And Plumbing Work
Required For Your Home Additions

Your home addition needs proper electrical and plumbing work to function smoothly and fit seamlessly into your Plymouth home. Your addition needs to be up-to-date regarding electrical codes, and the extent of the electrical work will depend on the type of addition.

For example, if you’re adding a home gym with room for exercise equipment and a stereo system, your electrical needs will be very different from those for a basic bedroom addition.

Plumbing isn’t required for every type of home addition. Bathrooms and kitchens are more expensive because of the plumbing, but you won’t need to factor plumbing work into your budget unless you’re putting in one of these.

1. This was our first big renovation. We weren't prepared for some of the decisions we needed to make before the project started. 2. Guidelines for what was expected of us before the project began wasn't clear, such as selection of: backsplash, lighting , tiles etc. 3. Once the project began, Executive Remodeling gave us a clear timeline with weekly updates. 4. Executive Remodeling staff was very courteous and respectful as were their contractors. 5. They informed us of what they were going to do with construction details i.e. - poly barriers, dust, etc. 6. They also had an excellent cleaning crew who did more than we expected. 7. We are extremely satisfied with the kitchen renovation and we will definitely have them involved in our other renovations.

Excellent. Prompt and great workmanship. Very little disruption to our routine, and they cleaned up professionally. Handled the dealings with the insurance company as repair was caused by hail damage. This made the whole process easy. They also brought all the samples to our house for selection which was very efficient for us. Highly recommend Executive Remodeling.

Our experience with Executive Remodeling was excellent from Day One! We had our entire basement done, and they were great at helping put together our ideas with what was doable, staying within budget, and turning out a beautiful finished product. All of the trades that came were professional, courteous, cleaned up well after themselves, and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be more pleased and heartily recommend them!

After meeting with several Twin Cities contractors to find the right fit for our dream home addition, we chose Executive Remodeling because we valued their honesty, experience, and straightforward approach to planning and project execution. The team was easy to work with and responsive. We were treated with honesty and integrity and got an incredible amount of value for our investment. We couldn't be happier with the results.

We used Executive Remodeling to finish our basement. As first time homeowners with no construction experience, we could not have asked for an easier process. Workmanship was incredible, everything ran on time, communication was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end product. We would recommend them to anyone, and already have! We will definitely use them for any future projects that come up. Thanks so much to Ryan, Reed, and Katie!

We emptied out the basement for drain tile then re-installed what was taken out to preserve the investment in our nearly 100-year-old house. Executive’s team was supportive every step of the way. Their optimism and 'can do' attitude were helpful as we discovered complications. They got the right craftsmen for every step. We even added a new garden window to the kitchen upstairs, knowing we could trust them to do a great install. We sleep well knowing our wiring is up to code, and we enjoy a great deal of natural light in the basement because of their work.

'I can't recommend Executive Remodeling highly enough! From start to finish, they were responsive, communicative, and very easy to work with. They built a bathroom addition for us and stayed on budget and timeline throughout the entire project. All the people they brought in to work on the project were also kind, competent, and efficient. The team at Executive Remodeling went out of their way to ensure that everything went smoothly and the project turned out great!'

'We recently needed some work done on our home and used Executive Remodeling. The communication and suggestions concerning our project were clear and very helpful. The workmen respected our home, were professional, left the worksite clean, and, when on-site, accommodated our need to be in and out of our home. The project was completed on time, and the costs were exactly as quoted.'
