Home additions in Park City
Room, garage and second-story additions planned around snow load, HOA review and the building season, and finished to match the house you already have.
Start before the architect
We begin with what you want the new space to do and a look at the existing house, then bring in architects, designers and structural engineers as the design needs them.
From foundation to finish
- Site preparation and foundations
- Framing and structural changes
- Roofing, exterior integration, windows and doors
- Plumbing, electrical, HVAC and insulation
- Drywall, flooring, custom carpentry and high-end finishes
The new space should look like it was always part of the house, so we match the existing architecture and materials.
Approvals and permits
Additions can need HOA or design review (Promontory’s architectural application, Old Town’s Historic District Design Review), stamped plans and building permits from Park City or Summit County. Structural engineering, stamped plans, permits and licensed trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are handled by appropriately licensed and authorized professionals.
Can you build an addition on my Park City home?
Yes. We start from your goals and the existing house, bring in architects, designers and structural engineers as needed, and carry the work from foundations and framing through roofing, windows, mechanical systems and finishes, so the addition matches the original home. Stamped plans, permits and regulated work go through appropriately licensed and authorized professionals.
What approvals do I need to remodel a historic home in Old Town?
Most work in Park City’s Historic District starts with a Historic District Design Review (HDDR) pre-application with the Planning Department, and work that changes historic material needs a full HDDR application. Additions and structural changes may also need architectural and engineering drawings, and regulated work needs building permits. Cosmetic interior work such as painting may not need design review; confirm with Planning and Building before you start.
Who issues my building permit: Park City or Summit County?
It depends on the property’s jurisdiction, not its mailing address. Inside Park City limits (generally Old Town, Park Meadows and Deer Valley) permits come from the Park City Building Department; in unincorporated Summit County (generally Promontory, the Snyderville Basin, Kimball Junction and Canyons Village) they come from Summit County Building. We confirm the jurisdiction for each address and coordinate the submissions, with formal applications and regulated work under the required licenses.
When is the best time of year to remodel in Park City?
For second-home owners, spring through early fall is the usual window for major work, so the house is ready before Thanksgiving and the ski season. Interior projects such as kitchens, baths, flooring, tile and finishes can run all winter, even while you’re in residence. Exterior work and additions need weather, permits and materials lined up well in advance.
