Room Additions in Arlington, TX
Extra bedrooms, primary suites, sunrooms, garage conversions and second-storey space - built onto the house so it reads as part of it, not bolted onto the back.
What room additions looks like with us
A room addition is a small construction project attached to a house you still have to live in. It needs a foundation, framing, a roof that ties into the existing one, envelope work, licensed mechanical, electrical and plumbing, inspections at each stage, and finishes that match a house that has been weathering for thirty years. Anaya's Touch handles the whole thing, and the part that matters most is the part nobody photographs: where the new structure meets the old one.
What’s included
The tie-in is what separates a good addition from an obvious one
Anyone can frame a box. What makes an addition read as part of the house is the junctions, and every one of them is a detail decided before the slab goes down:
- The roof line - pitch, overhang and fascia depth matched, and the valley flashed so it does not leak in the first hard storm.
- Brick or siding matched as closely as the material allows, with an honest conversation about the fact that thirty-year-old brick cannot be matched exactly and where the transition should fall.
- Floor heights levelled so there is no step up into the new room.
- Ceiling heights and trim profiles carried through from the existing house.
- The new slab tied to the old one, knowing the two will move at slightly different rates on North Texas clay.
Permits, plans and setbacks
An addition needs a permit everywhere in the Metroplex, and usually a plan review. Before anything is drawn, the practical limits get checked: lot coverage, front and side setbacks, easements, and whether an HOA has architectural rules of its own. In parts of Colleyville, Coppell, Plano and Frisco the HOA review takes longer than the city permit does. We would rather find that on day one than after you have paid for drawings.
Garage conversions, and the question to ask first
Converting a garage is the cheapest square footage on a house, because the slab, walls and roof already exist. Three things decide whether it is a good idea: whether the city will permit it as habitable space, whether the slab and door opening can be closed up and insulated properly, and what losing covered parking does to the house when you sell it. In neighbourhoods where every comparable home has a two-car garage, that last one is worth thinking about before the first two.
Living in the house while it is being built
Most additions here are built while the family stays put. That is workable, and it is a plan rather than a hope: a dust wall sealed at the existing opening, a defined route in and out for materials, utilities kept live except for scheduled tie-in windows, and the work zone tidied at the end of each day. Reviews of this company mention the crew cleaning up and working around the household repeatedly - it is how Eduardo runs jobs, not an extra.
