Home Additions in Richmond, KY
Your family is growing. Your house feels smaller every year. A home addition adds the space you need without the hassle of selling and relocating. White Services Group has built hundreds of additions throughout Richmond, from bedroom expansions near EKU to sunrooms overlooking Lake Reba. We handle permits, design, and every phase of construction.
Custom Home Additions
Bedroom, garage, sunroom, second story — we design and build additions that match your home’s style and your family’s needs.
Why Home Additions Make Sense in Richmond
Richmond’s housing market rewards finished space. Whether you’re in a historic EKU-area home or a Boonesborough subdivision property, adding square footage increases both your living enjoyment and home value. Richmond homeowners who add bedrooms, bathrooms, or family rooms see strong returns when they eventually sell—and in the meantime, you get the space your family needs.
Madison County’s building codes are straightforward, and we know the permit process inside and out. The average Richmond home addition takes 8–20 weeks from permit approval to move-in day. We handle the design, coordinate inspections, and manage subcontractors so you don’t have to.
Types of Home Additions We Build in Richmond

Most common addition in Richmond. A new master suite, guest bedroom, or bonus room. Typical cost: $24,000–$60,000 for 300 sq ft. Timeline: 10–16 weeks.
Bathroom Additions

Convert a single-car to two-car, or add a full new garage. Popular in Boonesborough where properties have space. Budget $25,000–$40,000 for a single-car addition.

For properties with room to build up. Requires foundation engineering and structural evaluation. Most expensive option: $80,000+. Timeline: 16–20 weeks.
The Richmond Home Addition Process
Step 1: Design Consultation — We discuss your goals, budget, and timeline. We measure your home, understand building orientation, and talk through what’s possible on your property.
Step 2: Permit Application — We prepare architectural drawings and submit to Madison County. Permit timelines vary but typically run 2–4 weeks. We know which inspectors are critical and how to navigate approval.
Step 3: Foundation & Framing — Once permitted, we begin site prep, foundation work, and framing. This is the longest phase (4–8 weeks depending on scope).
Step 4: Rough-In Work — Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are installed per code. Inspections occur at each major milestone.
Step 5: Finishing — Insulation, drywall, painting, flooring, trim. This is where the addition becomes a livable space. 3–4 weeks typically.
Step 6: Final Inspection — Madison County inspector signs off. You move in.
