Your American Fork addition builder

More room, without leaving American Fork.

Sometimes you love your home and your street, you just need more space. In the older homes near Main Street and the historic district, families grow but do not want to leave a block they love. An addition gives you that room without the cost and stress of selling and buying.

The newer subdivisions out toward I-15 and up near the mouth of American Fork Canyon have their own needs. Some lots are tight, so the room you need goes up instead of out. We build the whole thing under one roof: foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, paint, flooring, trim, and finish work. You get one written price before we start, and Dakota runs the job from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.

Built for American Fork

Permits, engineering, and inspections, handled for you.

An addition changes how your home stands up, so it has to be drawn, engineered, and permitted the right way. American Fork runs its own building department, so your permits and inspections go through the city. Dakota takes care of all of it on older downtown homes and newer subdivision homes alike.

Stamped engineering

A licensed engineer designs the structure so your addition is strong and safe.

American Fork City permit

We pull the permit with the American Fork building department and build to current code, start to finish.

Passed inspections

We schedule and meet the inspectors, so every stage is signed off and clean.

Built to add value

A permitted addition counts as real, sellable square footage on your American Fork home.

Good questions

American Fork home addition questions.

How much does a home addition cost in American Fork?
It depends on the size, the rooms, and how the new space ties into your home. A small bump-out costs far less than a full second-story or a new primary suite. Dakota walks your American Fork home, talks through what you want, and gives you one honest price in writing before any work starts.
Do I need a permit for a home addition in American Fork?
Yes. American Fork runs its own building department, so your addition needs a building permit and inspections through the city. We pull the permit, build to current code, and meet the inspectors for you, so you do not have to chase the paperwork.
Does an addition need an engineer?
Most do. Adding a room, a second story, or opening up walls changes how your home carries weight, so a licensed engineer signs off on the plan. Dakota lines up the engineering and the stamped drawings as part of the job.
Can I build an ADU or basement apartment in American Fork?
Yes, in most cases, as long as it is built to code and permitted. We build separate-entrance basement apartments, ADUs, and mother-in-law suites with a kitchen, a bath, and an egress window, all legal and inspected. Many newer American Fork homes have a big basement that is perfect for this.
Do you build additions on older downtown homes and newer subdivisions?
Yes. We add on to older homes near Main Street and the historic district, where families want more room but love the street they are on. We also build additions and second stories in the newer subdivisions out toward the freeway and up near the canyon. Older homes can hold surprises behind the walls, and we fix what we find.
Can I stay in my home during the addition?
Most of the time, yes. We seal off the work area, protect the rest of your home, and keep the site clean. For a few stages, like tying a second story into the roof, we will talk through what to expect ahead of time.
