Your Local Plainfield Home Addition Contractors
Our approach begins by evaluating your home as a whole. We look at what can be improved through renovation, what may benefit from added space, and how both can work together. This renovation-first planning allows us to update outdated layouts, improve structural performance, and integrate additions in a way that strengthens the entire home rather than focusing on one area in isolation.
Example home renovation & home addition projects:
- Floor plan reconfiguration
- Open-concept conversions
- Beam installation
- Load-bearing wall changes
- Family room addition
- Ground floor additions
- Hearth room or breakfast nook additions
- Screened porches, sunrooms, and four-season rooms
- Room addition for home office
Why Consider Additional Home Renovations or Additions?
Homeowners choose renovation and addition projects to improve comfort, functionality, and long-term livability. In some cases, existing rooms need to be renovated to support new space. In others, a renovation alone can transform how the home works without expanding it. Treating renovations and additions as equal parts of the project allows us to modernize your home while creating layouts that feel balanced and complete.

FAQ's For Home Additions & Renovations
What types of home additions does BGW build?
BGW builds family room additions, ground-floor additions, hearth rooms and breakfast nooks, screened porches, sunrooms, four-season rooms, and home-office additions. It also handles open-concept conversions, floor-plan reconfiguration, beam installation, and load-bearing wall changes.
How does BGW approach a renovation-plus-addition project?
BGW evaluates the home as a whole first, identifying what can be improved through renovation, what benefits from added space, and how both work together, so additions feel original to the home rather than tacked on.
Can BGW add a sunroom or four-season room to an existing home?
Yes. Screened porches, sunrooms, and four-season rooms are among the addition types BGW builds.
Does BGW handle structural changes like removing load-bearing walls?
Yes. Load-bearing wall changes and beam installation are part of BGW’s renovation and addition capabilities.
Does a home addition require permits?
Yes. Home additions always require permits. BGW handles coordination with local building departments as part of the project.
Will a home addition match the existing architecture, or look like an add-on?
BGW designs additions that feel original to your home and strengthen the overall structure rather than reading as isolated add-ons.
How is a home addition different from a renovation?
A renovation updates existing space; an addition creates new square footage. BGW treats both as one coordinated process and often combines them when new rooms need to connect to existing space.
How long does a home addition project take?
Timelines depend on the size of the addition and whether renovations are combined. BGW establishes a clear project timeline during design and planning.
Is it better to add on or move to a larger home?
That’s a personal and financial decision. BGW helps you understand the scope and cost of an addition so you can make an informed comparison.
Can BGW design the addition, or do I need my own architectural plans?
BGW offers in-house Home Design Plans, including floor-plan drafts, renderings, and structural planning. You don’t need to arrive with complete architectural drawings.
How much should I budget for a home addition in Hendricks County?
It depends on what you are adding. For the Indianapolis area, the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report puts a midrange bathroom addition at about $56,500 and a midrange primary suite addition at about $157,200, with an upscale primary suite around $317,700. Your number depends on size, structural work, and whether it includes a kitchen or bath. BGW gives you a firm, line-item number after a free consultation.
Can BGW add a second story?
Yes. A second-story or build-up addition is within BGW’s scope. It requires reinforcing the structure below to carry the new load, which is why it costs more per square foot than building out, but it adds space without giving up yard. BGW evaluates your foundation and framing to confirm what your home can support.
How much does a sunroom or four-season room cost?
Yes. BGW builds in-law suites and multigenerational additions, whether as a main-floor addition, a finished basement suite, or a space with its own entrance, bath, and kitchenette. We design around privacy, accessibility, and how your family actually lives together.
Is a kitchen remodel worth it?
It depends on size, foundation, and whether it is heated and cooled for year-round use. As a central-Indiana planning range, a four-season room is priced like an addition and commonly starts around $50,000, while a simpler three-season room costs less. BGW gives you a firm number after a free consultation.
Is a home addition worth it?
Generally yes. An addition adds real square footage and appraised value, especially when it reads as original to the home. The return that matters most is the life you live in it, the room where the family finally fits, which is Return on Enjoyment. Costs only climb with time, so the sooner you add the space, the sooner you use it.
