Home Addition Services
At Cabrera Built, we understand that your home is a reflection of your personality and lifestyle. As your family grows or your needs change, a home addition can be the perfect solution to enhance your living space. Our home addition building service is designed to seamlessly integrate new spaces with your existing structure, providing you with the extra room needed without the hassle of moving. The process begins with a thorough consultation, where we discuss your vision and requirements for the addition. We then perform a detailed assessment of your property, ensuring that the planned addition adheres to zoning regulations and building codes.
After finalizing the design, our skilled team begins the construction process, keeping you informed every step of the way. Careful consideration is given to the existing architectural style of your home to ensure the addition looks like a natural extension, rather than an afterthought. This extends to matching exterior materials, roof lines, and even window styles. Furthermore, we understand that adding square footage not only provides more living space but also increases the overall property value. A well-designed and executed home addition can significantly boost your home's market appeal and make it a more desirable asset in the long run. The incorporation of energy-efficient materials and sustainable design practices is also a priority to minimize environmental impact and reduce long-term operating costs.
Types of Home Additions
When it comes to home additions, Cabrera Built offers various options, including vertical and horizontal expansions.
Vertical Additions
Vertical additions involve building upward, often adding an extra story to your home. This type is perfect for maximizing space without encroaching on your yard. Alternatively, horizontal additions extend outward, expanding your existing footprint. This can take the form of expanding a kitchen, adding a sunroom, or a complete bump-out for a larger living space. Both options can significantly enhance your home's value and livability, offering you a tailored approach to accommodate your lifestyle. The decision between a vertical or horizontal addition often depends on factors such as lot size, budget, and desired functionality. Vertical additions can be more complex and require careful structural engineering to ensure the existing foundation can support the added weight. They also present unique challenges in terms of integrating the new staircase and ensuring proper insulation and ventilation.
Horizontal Additions
Horizontal additions, while often simpler in terms of structural modifications, can require more extensive site preparation and may impact landscaping or outdoor spaces. Sunrooms, in particular, are popular for their ability to bring natural light and outdoor views into the home, often serving as a tranquil space for relaxation or a gathering area for entertaining. Bump-outs, which are smaller horizontal additions, are a cost-effective way to expand a tight space, such as a kitchen or bathroom, without undertaking a full-scale renovation.

Garage Addition Services
In addition to home expansions, Cabrera Built also provides garage addition services. Whether you need a single-car garage, a double garage, or a workshop space, we can create a custom solution that meets your needs. The process mirrors that of our home additions, beginning with an in-depth consultation to determine your preferences. We take into account the alignment with your existing property, style, and functionality to deliver an aesthetic design that complements the architecture of your home.
Garage additions require just as much planning and consideration as home additions. In many areas, detached garages are also subject to setbacks from property lines and other zoning requirements. Beyond the size and location of the garage, it's also important to consider the materials used, the type of garage door, and any additional features such as windows, ventilation, or electrical outlets. A well-designed garage can not only provide shelter for vehicles but also serve as a functional storage space for tools, equipment, and other items.
Various Uses for a Garage Addition
Garage additions serve multiple purposes and can dramatically increase the functionality of your property. Beyond parking vehicles, they can be converted into workshops, gym spaces, or extra storage areas. The versatility of a garage gives you the opportunity to personalize the space according to your individual needs, ensuring that it serves a practical purpose while contributing positively to the overall home environment.
Workshop
A workshop space within a garage can be a boon for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, or those who need a dedicated area for repairs or projects.
Gym Space
Gym spaces offer a convenient and private workout environment, eliminating the need for a costly gym membership.
Extra Storage
Extra storage areas can help declutter your home and provide a safe and organized space for seasonal items, sports equipment, or other belongings.
Factors to Consider
When converting a garage into a specialized space, it's important to consider factors such as insulation, ventilation, lighting, and electrical needs. Adequate insulation can help regulate the temperature and reduce energy costs, while proper ventilation can prevent moisture buildup and improve air quality. Ample lighting is essential for working safely and efficiently, and sufficient electrical outlets are needed to power tools, equipment, or appliances.
At Cabrera Built, we are committed to turning your ideas into reality with our expert home and garage addition services.
