ADDITIONS

ADD SQUARE FOOTAGE WITH PACIFIC SANDS

Second Stories

Up vs. Out: Depending upon your lot, it may not be possible to build out, and getting the additional square footage you're looking for will require building up instead. Whether it's a question of the lot's setbacks (distance from the property line where buildings are allowed to be), or simply in the interest of preserving more of the existing outdoor space, second story additions can be a great way to add more space to your home.


Structural engineering is required to ensure that the first floor is strong enough to support the added weight of the second floor materials and the dynamic load that will come from people moving around upstairs. Pacific Sands has extensive experience with designing and permitting second story addition projects and our team would love to work with you to bring your vision to life.

Family Rooms

More Space for the Family: Often a home simply can't keep up with the needs of the modern Southern California family and the common areas simply aren't big enough to accommodate everyone's interests. Family rooms are one of the most common addition projects that come across our desks at Pacific Sands. Whether you're interested in vaulted ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, or just a few walls with windows, having more square footage for the whole family is invaluable. Let Pacific Sands design your family's new favorite room.

En Suites

Investing in Convenience : Adding an en suite bathroom to a bedroom can add convenience to your home while living there while also adding value when it comes time to sell. Sometimes an en suite can't be created without adding square footage to the home.


Pacific Sands has extensive experience designing additions and creating en suite plans for permitting and construction.
