Add Space Without Leaving Your Home Behind

Custom home additions and garage construction for homeowners in Matthews, North Carolina.

You do not need to move to get the space you need. When your family is growing, you need a dedicated home office, or you want to add an in-law suite or attached garage, a custom addition lets you expand your living area while staying in the neighborhood and home you already know. Boaz Heating & Air designs and builds home additions in Matthews that blend seamlessly with your existing architecture and meet your family's specific needs, from layout to finishes to timeline.

The process starts with a consultation where you describe what you want the new space to accomplish and how it should connect to your current floor plan. We develop personalized designs that account for your home's structure, your lot layout, and local zoning and setback requirements. You see the proposed floor plan, exterior elevations, and material selections before construction begins, and you approve each phase as it moves forward. Home additions in Matthews require coordination with permitting and inspection schedules, and we handle that process so you do not have to manage it yourself.

What Happens During the Design and Build Process

Once the design is approved and permits are secured, construction begins with site preparation and foundation work, followed by framing, roofing, and exterior finish installation. We then move to interior work, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and finish carpentry. In Matthews, we coordinate inspections at key milestones to ensure all work meets local building codes before proceeding to the next phase.

After the addition is complete, you walk into a space where doors close properly, floors are level with the rest of your home, and climate control extends seamlessly into the new area. Windows match your existing trim, siding aligns with the original structure, and finishes reflect the style you selected. The addition looks and feels like it was always part of your home, not something tacked on later.

We use skilled tradespeople for all phases of the work, from foundation to finish, and we source materials from suppliers known for quality and availability. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the addition, but most projects take several months from groundbreaking to final walkthrough. Our role is to manage the schedule, communicate progress, and resolve any issues that come up during construction so you can focus on preparing to use the new space.

What is the difference between an in-law suite and a standard bedroom addition?
An in-law suite typically includes a bedroom, private bathroom, and small kitchenette or living area, while a standard bedroom addition does not include plumbing or kitchen facilities. The scope affects cost, timeline, and permitting requirements.

How do you make sure the addition matches my existing home?
We match roof pitch, siding material, window style, and exterior trim to your current structure. The goal is to make the addition look like it was built at the same time as the rest of the house, not added later.
