Home Additions in Richmond.
Additions live or die on two details: how the new foundation is tied to the old one, and how the roofline meets the existing house. Get those right and the addition disappears into the home. Get them wrong and you see the seam from the street for the next thirty years.

Richmond homes
Richmond runs the full range: historic and mid-century homes near downtown, 1980s–90s sections of Pecan Grove ready for full renovation, and 2010s-and-newer master-planned homes in Harvest Green, Aliana, and Long Meadow Farms where owners invest in kitchen upgrades, primary-bath rebuilds, and serious outdoor living. Acreage properties on the outskirts often call for additions, shops, and guest quarters.
We start with a survey and a setback, coverage, and deed restriction review, then design to what the lot actually allows, then handle permitting and any HOA or architectural committee submittal on your behalf.
Who reviews it
Inside city limits, permits run through the City of Richmond; most of the growth corridor is unincorporated Fort Bend County with MUDs and HOA architectural review in nearly every community. Historic-district rules apply near downtown. We confirm the jurisdiction, file the permits, and manage inspections.

Richmond questions
Will the addition crack where it meets the existing house?
Not if the foundation is designed for it. On Houston clay we specify a foundation system for the addition that is engineered to move with the existing slab, plus control joints where the structures meet.
How much can I add to my lot?
Lot coverage, setbacks, and in many Richmond neighborhoods deed restrictions or an HOA architectural committee determine it. We check all of them before we draw anything.
Do you work in Harvest Green and Aliana?
Yes — kitchen and bath upgrades, outdoor kitchens, and covered structures are our most common projects in the newer Fort Bend communities, HOA submittal included.
Can you renovate a historic home near downtown Richmond?
Yes, with sensitivity to the historic-district guidelines. We modernize systems and layouts while preserving the exterior character the district protects.
