Twin Cities home additions, built for Minnesota
Need another bedroom, a bigger kitchen, or a real primary suite? An addition gets you the house you want without an 8–10% move and a higher mortgage rate.
What we build
- Ground-level room and family room additions
- Master suite additions
- Kitchen expansions
- Four-season rooms on frost footings
- Cantilevered bump-outs (the budget option — no new foundation)
- Garage additions
What it costs
Most Twin Cities additions run $260–$520 per square foot, so a 400 sq ft addition typically lands between $105,000 and $185,000. Bump-outs start near $18,000. See our full home addition cost guide for a line-item breakdown.
Why Minnesota costs more: frost footings at 42"+ below grade, structural tie-in to the existing house, HVAC capacity, and matching discontinued siding and roofing. We price all four upfront instead of discovering them mid-project.
