Your Santaquin addition builder

More room, without leaving Santaquin.

Santaquin sits at the far south end of Utah County, around 4,900 feet up, and it is one of the fastest-growing towns in the county. Kids here go to school in the Nebo School District, so when a family runs out of bedrooms, most parents would rather add on than switch schools and start over somewhere new.

Santaquin has two kinds of lots, and we build additions on both. The newer subdivisions on the benches above the old townsite tend to sit on bigger, newer lots, which gives us more room to work with for an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen, or a main-floor primary suite for a growing family. Homes on smaller lots in the original townsite near Main Street can still add on, the footprint is just tighter, so we design the addition to fit the lot and still work well day to day. Some of the ground on the benches is known for expansive, or collapsible, soil, so anytime we are adding new foundation footprint up there, we start with a soils report and build the footing to match, we do not skip that step to save time.

An addition is a bigger job than a single room remodel. It needs a city permit and a licensed engineer, because you are changing how your home is built. Dakota handles the plans, the engineering, and the permits with Santaquin City, so you do not chase any of it. You get one written price before we start.

"Dakota did multiple things for us in one of our duplexes. He showed up when he said he would, finished in a timely manner, and his work was top notch. His prices were great. I am planning to use Dakota on our other rental properties."

Done by the book in Santaquin

Santaquin 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. Dakota takes care of all of it with the Santaquin City building department, so your new space is legal, safe, and built to add real value when you sell.

Stamped engineering

A licensed engineer designs the structure, and where the lot sits on expansive or collapsible soil, that includes a foundation built to match.

Santaquin City permit

We pull the permit through Santaquin City and build to current code.

Inspections, scheduled

We book every inspection with the city and meet the inspectors for you, so nothing holds up the job.

Old homes & new builds

We tie new space into older homes near Main Street and into newer bench-side subdivisions alike.

"Dakota was excellent with communication, fair pricing, and the work turned out incredible. I live in a 105 year old house in Springville, which comes with many challenges. Every sub that showed up was an owner operator and the craftsmanship shows it."

Good questions

Santaquin home addition questions.

How much does a home addition cost in Santaquin?
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 Santaquin 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 Santaquin?
Yes. Any addition needs a building permit from the Santaquin City building department, plus inspections along the way. Dakota pulls the permit, builds to current code, and meets the inspectors for you so nothing holds up the job.
Does a home addition in Santaquin 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. On the benches above town, that engineering often includes a soils report, since expansive ground up there needs a footing designed to match. Dakota lines up the engineering and the stamped drawings as part of the job.
Can I add a basement apartment or ADU in Santaquin?
Yes, in most cases, as long as it is built to code and permitted with Santaquin City. We build separate-entrance basement apartments and mother-in-law suites with a kitchen, a bath, and an egress window, all legal and inspected.
Can you convert my Santaquin 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 permit so it counts as real living space.
Can you add on to an older home near downtown Santaquin?
Yes. Santaquin has older homes on smaller lots in the original townsite near Main Street. Older houses can hide surprises, so we look first, tell you what we find, and tie the new space in so it looks like it was always part of the home.
