Additions | General Contractors

*Additions

At J Palmer Group we know building a new addition can get complicated and is a multifaceted process that typically involves several stages. Below we have outlined a few general steps involved in building your new addition:

Site selection and preparation:

The first step is selecting a suitable location for the addition. This involves evaluating the property for factors such as soil stability, drainage, zoning regulations, and access to utilities.

Design and planning:

Once the site is selected, the homeowner works with an architect or addition designer to develop a plan for the addition. This includes creating a blueprint, selecting materials and finishes, and obtaining any necessary permits.

Foundation and framing:

The construction process begins with pouring the foundation and framing the structure of the addition . This includes installing the flooring, walls, and roof.

Plumbing and electrical work:

Next, plumbing and electrical systems are installed in the addition, including wiring, outlets, and fixtures.

Insulation and drywall:

Insulation is added to the walls and ceilings, followed by drywall installation.

Finishing work:

Once the drywall is installed, the home is ready for finishing work, including interior and exterior paint, flooring, cabinetry, and countertops.

Inspection and final touches:

After the finishing work is complete, the home is inspected to ensure that it meets all safety and building code requirements. The final touches are then added, such as landscaping, and the home is ready for occupancy.
Throughout the process of building a new construction home, there are several requirements that must be met, including obtaining permits, complying with building codes, and ensuring that the home is built safely and to the homeowner’s satisfaction. Homeowners should work closely with a team of professionals, including an architect, general contractor, and other specialists, to ensure that the project is completed successfully.

What Our Clients Say About Us

“I used J. Palmer Group for my screen repair this month, and I was completely satisfied as to the thoroughness of the GC. He came by to check the work after the subcontractor had been there, and noticed there were areas that had been overlooked and still needed repair. He called the subcontractor and made an appointment for him to come back at a later date. I'm very glad he went back to check, because I had not noticed! Thanks, J Palmer Group, for your attention to detail!

We contacted this company to do a remodeling job (removing wood paneling and installing drywall). Turned out that another part of the family has done roofing and exterior painting for us, and we were very happy with the job results. This particular job was done with great attention and care: the contractor is very responsible and all workers involved - from removal of paneling to in-between cleaning and drywall installation - every single person was very hard-working and meticulous. The paint job was done by "the other family business" - again excellent job! Contractor was also very informative, would call before sending workers, and always answered his phone. We definitely recommend this company!! Thanks Jon!

“I hired J. Palmer for work at a property I own in South Florida. His team was great! They were on time, professional and did exactly what they said they were going to do. I would totally recommend J. Palmer Group, Inc. for all your construction and design needs.
