"Forward Design completed an addition to our house ahead of schedule and under budget. They were very professional, creative, patient and kind through the entire process. At first we really didn't know exactly what we wanted and they helped us to figure that out. They even produced a computer generated "walk through" that allowed us to see what the new space would look like and how it would work for our family. We highly recommend Forward Design for any construction or remodeling. We had a great experience from start to finish."

Home Addition & Remodeling FAQ

What is Design Build?

As a homeowner, do you really have the time or know-how to hire, interview, and manage the work of a designer, contractor, and construction team? Why would you even want to?

Our design build process takes the hassle out of home remodeling. We provide start-to-finish support for your entire project. The results are better, costs are lower, there are no miscommunications, and there’s more accountability. Above all else, you’ll be happier and less stressed. 


What Home Additions are Common in Ann Arbor?

Because of the smaller yards that are common here in Ann Arbor, most homeowners aren’t looking for a huge addition. Instead, most are looking for smaller additions with a big WOW factor. One of the most popular home additions is a small “bump-out” in the kitchen which makes room for a large island. Many homeowners of multi-story homes also choose to add a small amount of space to each floor. This can allow for dramatic layout changes, extra bathrooms, and much more!


Is It Possible to Build an Addition on a Historic Home?

Historic homes are very common, especially in Ann Arbor’s most desirable neighborhoods. If you love your home but need more space, additions to historic homes are one of our specialties. We can create an addition that’s so seamless it’ll look just like part of your home’s original design! Our historic home addition projects have included:

  • Trim custom-fitted to match old, existing trim

  • Matching brick and grout to the aged exterior of homes

  • The use of historic-looking tile that is really made from new, durable, and high-tech materials


What About Unexpected Costs and Surprises Along the Way?

During the interview phase of your home addition project, we’ll learn about your budget and the scope of your project. We’ll learn about your needs and provide you with a quote that we stand behind. What we quote you is what you pay. Period.
