Have you ever felt like your home just stopped fitting your life?
Maybe the kids need their own space, you’re craving a larger kitchen, or you’d simply rather expand than move.

At AAA Home Improvements, we design-build additions that make your home feel brand new while preserving everything you already love about it.

What Is a Home Addition?

A home addition is more than extra square footage — it’s a tailored solution to how your family actually lives.
Instead of uprooting and relocating, you can:

  • Add a second story for more bedrooms or a primary suite

  • Extend your living room or kitchen for open-concept flow

  • Convert unused garage or basement space into livable areas

  • Create outdoor living additions like sunrooms or covered patios

Every addition AAA Home Improvements designs blends structurally and aesthetically with the existing home, so it looks original — not added on.

Why Colorado Homeowners Choose Additions

1. Avoid the cost and stress of moving

Inventory is tight, interest rates are high, and building equity where you already live simply makes sense.

2. Customize your lifestyle

From multigenerational living to home-office space, additions let you design for how you live now.

3. Increase your home’s value

A properly designed addition can boost appraised value while modernizing functionality.

4. Stay in the neighborhood you love

Keep your school district, your commute, and your mountain views — just improve what’s inside.

Types of Home Additions

Outdoor Living Additions Colorado entertaining and views Decks, covered patios, sunrooms for four seasons

Design & Planning Considerations

Start with Lifestyle Goals

We ask questions such as:

“How would your daily routine change if your kitchen opened to the patio?”
“What would it mean to have a private suite away from the kids?”

These uncover emotional priorities before technical design begins.

Architectural Harmony

Our in-house design team ensures rooflines, siding, and window proportions complement your existing structure.

Energy Efficiency

All new additions are insulated and built to Colorado Energy Code standards — we can integrate solar-ready wiring, high-efficiency HVAC, and advanced windows.

Engineering & Permitting

Denver and Front Range municipalities require engineered drawings for any structural change.
AAA handles this entire process — site surveys, zoning review, and permit submission — so you don’t face city headaches.


What Does a Home Addition Cost in Colorado?

Costs vary with size, finishes, and structural complexity, but here’s a realistic 2025 range:

Type Avg. Cost Range Cost per Sq Ft (Avg.)
Bump-Out Additions $40 k – $80 k $250 – $350 / sf
Room Additions $80 k – $200 k $275 – $400 / sf
Second Story / Pop-Top $175 k – $400 k+ $350 – $500 / sf
Garage Conversions $60 k – $120 k $200 – $300 / sf
Outdoor Living Additions $30 k – $150 k $150 – $300 / sf

I cannot say enough great things about AAA. I've worked with them multiple times, and they have always been super professional. Toby and his team were always timely and responsive when I asked questions. I've referred several friends to AAA because they do great work. My family is considering building an ADU, and we plan on having AAA build it. I highly recommend AAA for any project, big or small. They are great!

We've worked with AAA Home Improvements for several projects since moving into our home and I can say without exaggeration that our experience working with them has been nothing short of phenomenal. Toby Hertel and his team are first-class professionals with a wealth of knowledge and expertise. They've always been a pleasure to communicate with and the end results of the projects have been exceptional. I can't recommend them highly enough and hope you appreciate their services as much as our family has.

We had a great experience working with Toby and his team building a second story addition on our 100+ year old bungalow. In fact our first project so well, we hired them again to remove some walls and open the kitchen to the main living areas of the home, and finally complete a full remodel of our kitchen including redesigning the entire layout, moving the gas lines, water lines, drain lines, new electrical, cabinets and even a new kitchen ceiling. I don't have any reason I would ever hire anyone else after two successful experiences with AAA Home Improvements.

AAA home improvements recently finished our basement. From the start to finish, the project went great. Starting with Bob on the design and working with Luke, Toby, JT, we were thoroughly impressed with each phase of the work. Eddie, Rich, Merrill, Robert, Carlos, Andre, Antonio were all experts in their trades and we couldn’t have asked for better crews on this project. The basement was completed as scheduled and It turned out perfect! We highly recommend this company and would use them again on any future projects we may have.

Our first experience with AAA Home Improvements was in about 2006 for a “refresh” of our kitchen (light remodel). Since then they have assisted us with restoration repairs when a pipe broke, flooding our finished basement, then a deck, then new roofing and finishing a basement when we moved in 2013. In 2019 we came back to AAA for a major kitchen remodel, followed by a complete renovation of our primary bathroom a couple years later. We kept returning to AAA Home Improvements time after time because of the blend of customer service and expertise that they provide. Toby is very solution oriented and reasonable to work with when problems arise. Years of history of working with a firm that is obviously concerned with getting the job done right led us to asking Toby if AAA Home Improvements would be willing to tackle a new build in a mountain community. Working with Luke and Toby on the design-build of the house was an enormous task with beautiful results! We will continue to recommend AAA Home Improvements and seek them out for future projects. (In photos: the brick wall and windows were previously a wall of cabinets, the cooktop was moved off the island, the soffit was removed and the arch entryway was enlarged.)
