Home Addition Contractor in Des Moines

Your family is growing, your needs are changing, and your current home doesn't have enough space. You love your neighborhood and the idea of moving is exhausting and expensive. The answer: build a home addition.

Genesis Home Remodeling is a licensed and insured residential general contractor serving Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, and Central Iowa. We build additions that seamlessly integrate with your existing structure — from foundation and framing to roofing, siding, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and interior finishes.

Types of Home Additions We Build

Full Room Additions

Complete new rooms — bedrooms, family rooms, home offices, or in-law suites with their own bathroom. Foundation, framing, roofing, full buildout.

📐

Bump-Out Additions

Garage Conversions

Convert a garage into livable space — bedrooms, home gyms, workshops. Structural modifications, insulation, HVAC, interior finishing.

Why a Home Addition Is a Smart Investment

In the current Des Moines market, building an addition often makes more financial sense than buying larger. Moving costs include commissions, closing costs, and price premiums on larger homes. A well-planned addition gives you the exact space you need at lower total cost — and you keep the home and neighborhood you love.

Well-built additions can return 50% to 80% of their cost in increased property value. Extra bedrooms, expanded kitchens, and master suites are especially attractive to future buyers.

What Goes Into Building a Home Addition

A home addition touches every trade — excavation, concrete, framing, roofing, siding, windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, painting, flooring, and trim. It requires permits, inspections, and careful attention to how the new structure ties into your existing home. This is exactly where having an experienced general contractor is essential.

Genesis Home Remodeling manages everything from design discussions through final inspection. Our crew handles framing, drywall, painting, and finish carpentry directly, and we bring in licensed specialists for foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.
