Home Additions & Extensions in Bethesda and Rockville

Custom home addition and extension in Bethesda MD - sunroom and second story additions by iDesign

Expand Your Living Space

Our home addition services help you create additional living space that seamlessly integrates with your existing home. From light-filled sunroom additions to second story additions and detached ADUs, our expert team will design and execute additions that enhance both function and value. If staying within your footprint is the goal, our basement remodeling services are another way to gain space.

The right addition depends on your home and your lot. The mid-century ramblers and split-levels common in Bethesda and Chevy Chase are ideal candidates for second story additions that double living space without sacrificing yard, or a rear bump-out that finally opens up a cramped kitchen. Owners of the newer colonials and townhomes around Rockville and the Pike District often add a four-season sunroom or a primary-suite extension. On the larger estate lots of Potomac, there's room for a detached ADU or in-law suite. We manage every Montgomery County permit, setback, and inspection so your addition is fully compliant.

Planning finishes for your new space is easier in person. Our iDesign Interior Solutions showroom is in North Bethesda's Pike District, just a 5-minute drive from Rockville Town Center, so homeowners in Bethesda, Rockville, Chevy Chase, and Potomac can compare materials firsthand. Plan a visit to the showroom, or see how an addition fits a larger home remodeling plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Additions

How much does a home addition cost in Bethesda?

Costs depend on the type and size of the addition. A bump-out runs roughly $20,000 to $60,000, a single room or sunroom addition typically runs $60,000 to $150,000, and a large multi-room or second-story addition can run $150,000 to $400,000 — roughly $200 to $500+ per square foot. Site conditions and finishes drive the final price. We provide a fixed, itemized quote after an on-site assessment so there are no surprises.

Do I need permits and zoning approval for an addition in Montgomery County?

Yes. Additions require building permits and zoning and setback review from the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS). We handle all the drawings, permits, and inspections for you so your addition is fully compliant from start to finish.

Is iDesign a licensed and insured addition contractor?

Yes. iDesign Interior Solutions is a licensed and insured Maryland home-improvement contractor, and we've completed thousands of projects across Montgomery County over more than 25 years. We're happy to share our license details and references during your consultation.

How long does a typical home addition take to complete?

Most home additions take about 2 to 5 months to complete, depending on the size of the project and permitting. Smaller bump-outs are on the shorter end, while large multi-room or second-story additions take longer. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline specific to your project.

Will the addition match my existing home?

Yes. We match rooflines, siding, trim, windows, and interior finishes so your new addition looks like it was always part of the house — not bolted on. Our designers carefully blend the new space with your home's existing architecture inside and out.
