Home Additions in Avon Lake, OH
When you love your Avon Lake neighborhood, the schools, and your proximity to the lake, but your home no longer fits your family, an addition is the smartest path forward. Moffie Build Group designs and builds home additions that don't look like "add-ons." We specialize in creating seamless transitions between the old and the new, ensuring that rooflines, siding, and interior flow feel like they were part of the original 1990s or 2000s architecture common in the West Side’s premier developments.

Where We Work in Avon Lake, OH
We design and build home additions throughout Avon Lake, focusing on neighborhoods where property values and lot sizes support significant structural investments. Our addition projects are frequently located in:
- The "44012" Interior Developments: In neighborhoods off Jaycox Road and Walker Road, we often build kitchen bump-outs and family room expansions for families who love their location but have outgrown their 1990s floor plans.
- Lakefront & Lake-View Streets: Along Lake Road and the private drives leading to the water, we specialize in second-story additions and sunrooms designed to capture views and lake breezes.
- Legacy Neighborhoods: In established areas near Blesser Park and Avon Lake High School, we often add first-floor primary suites or "in-law" wings to accommodate multi-generational living.
- West-End Custom Lots: For homes on the larger lots toward the Sheffield Lake border, we have the space to build expansive multi-car garage additions with finished "bonus rooms" or home offices above.

Avon Lake Addition FAQs
How do Avon Lake lot setbacks affect where I can build an addition?
Avon Lake has specific zoning requirements regarding how close you can build to your property line (side-yard and rear-yard setbacks). During our initial site visit, we review your plat map to determine the "buildable envelope" of your lot. If your dream addition falls outside that envelope, we can help you navigate the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) process for a variance.
Can you match my existing 1990s or 2000s siding and brick?
Matching older exterior materials is a priority. While some products may be discontinued, we use a network of suppliers to find the closest possible match. If a perfect match isn't available, we suggest "architectural transitions"—using a complementary material like stone or vertical siding—to make the addition look like an intentional design choice.
Will an addition increase my property taxes in Avon Lake?
Yes, increasing the square footage and value of your home will eventually lead to a reassessment by the Lorain County Auditor. However, the increase in home equity and quality of life usually far outweighs the tax adjustment.
How do you handle the "tie-in" to my existing roof?
This is the most critical part of an addition. We ensure the new roof is properly flashed and integrated into the old one to prevent leaks. We often recommend a "valley" or "hip" transition that looks natural and directs water away from the house.
