Moving costs six figures once you count the agent fees, transfer taxes, and the mortgage rate you’d give up. For a lot of Maryland families, the smarter move is no move at all: add the space you need to the house you already love.
AmeriPro Remodeling designs and builds additions across Carroll, Howard, and Baltimore counties — one team handling everything from the first sketch to the final coat of paint. Licensed (MHIC #108556), insured, and family-run since 2010.
Additions We Build
Family Room & Bump-Out Additions
The most popular project we do: extend the back of the house 10–16 feet and suddenly the kitchen breathes, the family has a real gathering room, and the backyard connects to the house the way it always should have.
In-Law Suites
A private bedroom, full bath, and sitting area — sometimes with a kitchenette — for parents moving in or adult kids boomeranging back. We design these for aging-in-place from day one: curbless showers, wider doorways, lever hardware.
Second-Story Additions
When the lot won’t let you grow out, grow up. We handle the structural engineering, temporary weather protection, and the staging so your family can stay in the home through most of the build.
Garage & Above-Garage Additions
New garages, or a bonus room / apartment over the one you have. Great rental or guest potential where county zoning allows.
Sunrooms & Screened Porches
Three-season and four-season rooms that feel like part of the original house — not a bolt-on kit.
Our Design-Build Process
- Free consultation. We walk the house and the lot, talk budget honestly, and flag zoning or setback issues before you fall in love with a plan that can’t be built.
- Design & engineering. Drawings, structural engineering, and a fixed-price proposal — every line itemized.
- Permits. We pull them all. 100% of AmeriPro projects are permitted and inspected — your future buyer’s home inspector will thank you.
- Build. One project manager you can text, daily cleanup, weather protection at every stage.
- Walkthrough & warranty. Zero punch-list items left behind, 10-year workmanship warranty in writing.

Home Additions FAQ
Do I need a permit for an addition in Maryland?
Yes — always. Footers, framing, electrical, plumbing, and final inspections. We handle the entire permit process in Carroll, Howard, Baltimore, and Frederick counties.
How long does an addition take?
A bump-out: 6–10 weeks. A full family-room addition: 3–5 months. Second story: 4–6 months. You get a written schedule in your proposal.
Can we live in the house during construction?
In almost every case, yes. We seal the work zone from the living space and keep utilities running. Second-story additions need more planning — we’ll be straight with you about the rough weeks.
Will an addition add value to my home?
In our market, well-built additional finished square footage typically appraises strongly — and an in-law suite is one of the most requested features in Maryland right now. We’ll design with resale in mind even if you never plan to sell.
Why design-build instead of hiring an architect separately?
One contract, one team, one phone number. When the designer and the builder are the same company, the design fits the budget from day one — no $80K plans for a $50K budget.
