Home Additions in Strongsville, OH
If you live in Strongsville, there’s a good chance you like your street, schools, and access to SR‑82 and I‑71—but your house just doesn’t fit your life anymore. Many 80s, 90s, and early‑2000s homes here have formal rooms that go unused, undersized family rooms, or no real mudroom at all.
Moffie Build Group designs and builds home additions in Strongsville that feel like they were always part of the house. We focus on family rooms, primary suites, mudrooms, and second-story expansions that match your home’s architecture, respect lot constraints, and give you space that works every day.
Smart, Well-Planned Home Additions in Strongsville
Expanding the back of the house to create a larger family room, bigger kitchen, or combined “great room” with better connections to the backyard.
New primary suites on the main level for aging-in-place, multi-generational living, or simply having a quieter, more private space away from kids’ rooms.
Additions near the garage or side entry with lockers, benches, cubbies, and storage so coats, backpacks, and sports gear stop piling up in the kitchen.
Adding bedrooms, a bonus room, or a dedicated office above an existing footprint (often above a garage or single-story wing) without eating up your yard.
Light-filled spaces off the back of the house that extend your living area and make the most of views toward the yard or nearby trees/greenspace.
Design Notes for Strongsville Home Additions
We pay close attention to roof pitches, soffit depths, window styles, and siding/brick patterns so your addition doesn’t look tacked on. The goal is for it to feel like original construction.
Many Strongsville lots are generous but still have side and rear setback rules. We design additions to fit your buildable area and, where needed, can help you explore variance options.
New square footage means more heating, cooling, and power demand. We evaluate whether your current furnace/AC and panel can support the addition or if a dedicated system (or upgrade) makes more sense.
We think through how people actually move—kids coming in from school, groceries from the car, guests at holidays—and design circulation, doors, and sightlines accordingly.
Planning Notes for Strongsville Home Additions
Is the core issue a lack of living space, no good guest/primary suite, or chaos at the garage entry? We start by fixing the most painful part of your day-to-day, not just chasing square footage.
Before drawing detailed plans, we review your survey to confirm side/rear setbacks, height limits, and any HOA restrictions that could affect size, placement, or exterior materials.
We look at your current foundation (basement vs. crawlspace vs. slab) and framing to determine the best way to tie in the new structure so it doesn’t create future cracking or moisture issues.
We’ll ask if you plan to be in the house for 3–5 years or 10–20+ years. That changes whether we lean more toward resale-friendly layouts or dial in aging-in-place details like wider doors and zero-entry showers.
An addition is a bigger project than most interior remodels. We’ll be direct about how it affects parking, yard access, and parts of the home during construction—and we’ll sequence work to keep the house as usable as possible.

Our Home Addition Process
We walk your home and property, talk about what isn’t working, and discuss what kind of addition would actually solve those issues.
We review zoning, rough structural considerations, and ballpark costs so you understand what’s realistic before investing in full plans.
We develop floor plans and exterior elevations, coordinate structural engineering as needed, and refine the design until it fits your goals and budget.
We manage permits with the City of Strongsville and, if required, provide documentation for your HOA or lender.
Foundations, framing, exterior tie-in, then interior rough-ins and finishes. You’ll receive regular updates and a clear schedule of major milestones.
We walk the finished addition with you, create and resolve any punch-list items, and ensure everything is ready for day-to-day use.

Strongsville Home Additions FAQs
Will an addition look like it was always part of our house—or a “box” on the back?
Our goal is always for the addition to feel original. We match roof pitch, overhangs, window proportions, siding/brick patterns, and trim details. If exact materials are discontinued, we use transitions so it looks like an intentional design choice—not a patch.
Do we need to move out while the addition is being built?
Usually not. Most Strongsville families stay in place. There will be noise, some dust, and portions of the yard or driveway used for staging, but we sequence work to keep your core living spaces usable as much as possible.
Will my HVAC system need to be upgraded?
Sometimes. Adding significant square footage can push an older or undersized system beyond its limits. Our HVAC partners run load calculations to determine whether we can extend your current system or if a new unit or mini-split is a better choice.
How long does a typical addition take in Strongsville?
From design through completion, most additions run 4–8+ months, depending on size, complexity, permitting timing, and weather. The active on-site construction window once permits are in hand is usually 3–6 months.
Can you help with financing or appraisals?
We don’t provide financing directly, but we can supply detailed proposals, drawings, and progress documentation your lender or appraiser may ask for. Many Strongsville clients use home equity or renovation loans for additions.
Will this increase my property taxes?
Yes, adding conditioned square footage usually leads to a reassessment and tax increase over time. However, it also increases your home’s value and salability. We can’t predict exact tax changes, but we can help you understand how your addition fits your neighborhood’s value range.
