Home Additions in Northern Virginia
Our Reviews

Kitchen Bump-Out
If your kitchen and/or family room is too small or you want an eat-in kitchen, a great room, or a mudroom, a bump-out may be the way to go. Bump-outs are often smaller sized additions that will add a new room or add space to an existing room or rooms.
MOSS will provide you with a MOSS 360 Architect in addition to a Project Designer to make sure that the footprint of your home bump-out as well as the interior layout meets your needs. Your MOSS team will collaborate with you to ensure that the additional space added to your home accomplishes your goals and maximizes your value. A kitchen bump-out sets the stage to make additions and changes to your existing home that improve the quality of your life in your home every single day.

Master Suite Addition or In-Law Suite Addition
Master suite additions are very popular in Northern Virginia. Most Northern Virginia homes are older so they are well built but lacking modern amenities. A modern master suite has a comfortably sized bed area, walk-in closets, and a bathroom that is beautiful and functional. A Master Suite addition has a very high return on investment in terms of your every day enjoyment and resale.
In-law suites are also very popular in Northern Virginia due in part to the high cost of housing. If designed right, they also serve a dual purpose of having the long-term benefit of a main-level master suite. MOSS has built many in-law suites in Northern Virginia. Let us put our experience to work for your Northern Virginia in-law suite.

Pop-Top or Second Story Addition
If you have a small lot and a one or two-story home, a pop-up or second story addition might be the way to go. It allows you to take advantage of the free space above your house, avoids taking up valuable yard space, and often avoids zoning restrictions and significant excavation and foundation work. This is a particularly good option for a one story ranch or rambler home that feels cramped. But it is also a great option for a split-level or split-foyer home in need of a nice master suite or additional bedrooms and bathrooms.
Second story additions are a very economical way to add significant space to your home. But the design has to be right! Our MOSS industry-changing design experience is the perfect way to explore the options and design your beautifully expanded home.

Deck or Porch Addition
Decks and porches allow you to transition from the interior of your home to the outdoors. Today, some such structures are becoming elaborate outside rooms but you can also build a simple deck on a smaller budget or add a front porch to your home to increase its curb appeal. The return on a deck or porch addition is around 90 percent.

Single-Room Addition
Sometimes your home just needs one additional room! Many homeowners are adding on single rooms for home offices, bedrooms, home theaters, sun rooms and bathrooms. Family room additions are also very popular, allowing for more functional spaces off the kitchen.

Two-Story Addition or Three-Story Addition
If you need more square footage on multiple levels of your home, a two-story or three-story addition is the way to go. For example, you can add a kitchen and/or family room bump-out on the first floor while adding a master suite upstairs. And if the budget allows… some finished basement space is always a bonus! Two-story or three-story additions are very popular in Northern Virginia, particularly for more traditional existing two-story colonial homes. The multiple levels drive cost efficiency since they often share the same roof and foundation.
Home additions are the perfect solution for growing families, families who permanently host the in-laws, or for people who simply need more space.
While some remodeling projects can free up space, home additions are the only projects that allow square footage to be added. When we meet with you, we will talk you through the different possibilities for your home. You’ll even get to experience your new space before construction even begins with MOSS 360.
