More room for your family, without leaving the neighborhood. We handle the survey, zoning, design, permits, and build.
Most home additions are a second story or a bump-out that makes an existing room bigger. Some families add a separate living unit, with its own kitchen and bath, called an ADU.

Have something else in mind? Tell us about it. We'll be honest about what's possible and creative about how to get there.
The best part of an addition is watching your family use it. Sunday mornings in a real kitchen nook. A guest suite your parents never want to leave. A home that finally fits the life you're living.
Common Concern
Zoning won’t look at an idea without a detailed survey, and about half of home-purchase surveys don’t qualify. We order the right one, then check your setbacks, drainage, lot coverage, and HOA rules before anyone designs.
Common Concern
We look at your home’s structure and systems to see whether it can support going up, and what has to change to tie in an addition. Your plan is built around what your house can actually carry.
Common Concern
Feasibility costs a fraction of full plans and answers the big questions first: what your lot allows, what fits, and what it will cost.
A family came to us wanting more space. During feasibility, we found the house’s structure couldn’t support the design they had in mind. We redesigned around it, and they liked the new plan. They discovered all of that, including what it would cost, before paying for full plans or permits, not halfway through.
Sometimes feasibility shows that remodeling the space you already have solves the problem better than adding on. If that’s the case, we’ll tell you.
It starts with a consultation at your home, where we walk the property and talk through what your family needs. If an addition makes sense, feasibility comes next. Over 4 to 8 weeks, it answers 4 questions:
01
We order a detailed survey of your property and scan your house and yard. You don’t have to find a surveyor. The survey takes about 3 to 4 weeks.
✕ Won’t work for zoning
A boundary survey from the home purchase. It shows the lot lines, the house footprint, and setbacks, but no elevations.
About half of home-purchase surveys don’t qualify, so we order the right one.
✓ What zoning needs
Along with the lot lines and the house, it shows spot elevations across the yard, which way water drains, the edge of the water, and how much of the lot is covered.
About half of home-purchase surveys don’t qualify, so we order the right one.
02
We take the survey and early layout ideas to zoning, the county, and your HOA before you see a design. That way, you don’t get attached to a plan zoning won’t allow.
03
Our design team develops early layouts, including whether your addition should go out or up. They’re the first 10% of the finished design, shown with an investment range for building it.
04
We walk you through everything we found, side by side with the investment range. If we’re a good fit for each other, we move into Design & Development.
What will feasibility cost?
Feasibility is a flat fee of $8,000 – 10,000, far less than paying for full plans just to find out what your lot allows and what it will cost. If we move forward, the fee is credited toward Design & Development. If we hit a “no” along the way, we stop and talk it through, and if you decide not to go on, you only pay for the work we’ve done.
What's the next step?
If we move forward together, here’s what follows feasibility:
Design & Development
At least 3 design meetings, 3D renderings, and a walk-through of your addition’s layout, projected in a warehouse space, before plans are final. Then one lump-sum price in your contract.
Permits & Build
We submit for permits, order your materials ahead, and build. Most additions take 6 to 9 months. You get daily job logs and a wrap-up email every Friday.
When an addition is split between an architect, a builder, and the permit office, you end up running between them. With us, you don’t. We bring in the surveyor, work with zoning, the county, and your HOA, and handle the design, engineering, permits, and the build. We’re a family business with 16 years of experience behind every addition.
01
Leads design as Park & Patina’s principal designer.
02
Leads the build, under his own Florida residential and building contractor licenses.

The trusted surveyors, architects, and engineers we work with.
Your addition is planned around your existing home, from how it sits on the house to how it looks from the street. Exterior finishes like stucco, brick, or siding are chosen during Design & Development. Where the new space meets the old, many additions also include remodeling part of the existing home, so it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. We’re a family business with 16 years of experience behind every addition.
This family needed more room without leaving their home. We designed a second floor that didn’t exist before, and reworked the first floor so the two connect. Here’s how the plan came together.
Stage 01 of 04
The home as it stands today, drawn from our scan and measure.
Stage 02 of 04
The first floor reworked for the new stairs, and the second story laid out above it.
Stage 03 of 04
The house as it looks now, modeled from the same measurements.
Stage 04 of 04
The addition, designed to look like it was always part of the house.
Finishes come later, in Design & Development. This addition is under construction now, and we’ll share the finished home when it’s done.
A single new room starts around $250,000. Adding a half bath or an office brings that to around $350,000, and a full primary suite or a pool house starts around $500,000. Before any of that, feasibility tells you what your project will really take.
Usually, yes. We can build much of an addition before we open it up to your existing home, so daily life can carry on. When we do connect the two, we close off the work area with plastic walls and zipper doors, run HEPA filters, protect your floors, and clean up every day. How much of the house is affected depends on your scope and plans.
Sometimes. It needs to be no more than 2 years old and show enough detail for zoning. The survey you got when you bought your home often doesn’t.
In Central Florida, a guest house or pool house usually has to be permitted as an ADU, a separate living unit, and you have to show the permit office exactly what it is. That takes a certified designer and builder, not just a carpenter.
Zoning needs more detail up front, and we work with a local engineer.
Yes, we have several we work with. If you have one you’d like to bring in, we’re open to that too.
We do. Once your contract is signed, we submit for permits and start ordering materials for your build.
Not directly, but we can connect you with a local bank.
