You may find that you will need to repair any existing structural problems and upgrade services in the process. This will prolong the life of your home and make the addition look and feel better.

When planning a new home addition, you should be aware that your existing house is much more than just four walls and a roof. It is an interactive system made up of many components including the basic structure, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment as well as the external environment. Each component influences the performance of the entire system and some additions may require structural changes.

Design and Construction Options

Lanai Home Builders specializes in more complex structures, such as post and beam, timber-frame or log homes. These kinds of homes use different structural techniques to support the roof and floors and require foundations that are engineered to meet load bearing points.

Although these structures are more costly to build than conventional homes, you can incorporate open plan living, vaulted ceilings and large expanses of glass to maximize the use of natural light. They also generally have a much higher appraised value. We can work with your designer or architect to help you choose the right kind of design and materials to fit your requirements.

Building different types of custom homes takes special construction expertise. Lanai Home Builders uses the best construction practices whether we are building a conventional or more sophisticated structure. This is why we recommend the use of higher quality building materials, which give you a much better finished result.
