Home additions in Orem

More room for your Orem family.

Orem calls itself Family City USA, and it earns the name. It is a big, settled suburb under Mount Timpanogos, between Utah Lake and the mountains, just off I-15. The city is mostly built out, so the homes here are mature. Many of those homes are loved, but the family has outgrown them.

You do not have to move to get more space. An addition gives you the room you need without the cost and stress of selling and buying. We add bedrooms, suites, second stories, and apartments, and we do the whole thing under one roof: foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, paint, flooring, and finish work. You get one written price before we start, and Dakota runs the job to the final Orem inspection.

We know Orem

Permits, engineering, and Orem's older homes.

An addition changes how your home stands up, so it has to be drawn, engineered, and permitted the right way. Orem runs its own Building Safety Division. Dakota takes care of all of it, so your new space is legal, safe, and built to add real value.

Stamped engineering

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

Orem City permits

Orem takes building permits through its own online portal. We pull the permit and build to code, start to finish.

Mature Orem homes

Most of Orem was built decades ago. We tie a new addition into older framing so it looks like it was always there.

Every Orem neighborhood

From Sharon and Northridge to the Cascade area near Provo Canyon and the east bench, we add on all over town.

Good questions

Orem home addition questions.

How much does a home addition cost in Orem?
It depends on the size, the rooms, and how the new space ties into your Orem home. A small bump-out costs far less than a full second-story or a new primary suite. Dakota walks your 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 Orem?
Yes. Any addition needs a building permit and inspections in Orem. The city runs its own Building Safety Division and takes permits through an online portal. Dakota pulls the permit, builds to code, and handles the inspections for you.
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 a basement apartment or ADU in Orem?
Yes, in most cases, as long as it is built to code and permitted. We build separate-entrance basement apartments and mother-in-law suites with a kitchen, a bath, and an egress window, all legal and inspected by Orem.
Do you build additions on Orem's older homes?
Yes, that is a lot of what we do in Orem. Many Orem homes were built decades ago and the families have outgrown them. We tie a new addition into older framing so it looks like it was always there.
Can you convert my garage into a room?
Yes. A garage conversion turns that space into a bedroom, an office, a gym, or a small apartment. We insulate it, add heat and finish, and pull the Orem permit so it counts as real living space.
