Turn Collaborative
House Extension Professionals in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 November 2014
“As a designer, I was able to work with Paul Benigno from Turn Collaborative on a complete gut rehab of an 1880's home on a double lot in a landmark district in Chicago. Paul was great to work with from every facet - creative and thoughtful, with a broad and deep knowledge of construction. I highly recommend working with him and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the near future!”

Widler Architecture
House Extension Professionals in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 April 2014
“I have had the pleasure to work with Brent Widler of Widler Architectural Inc. on several upcoming projects. I find Brent to be a rare breed in the architectural world. He always sees the bigger picture. Brent has a keen eye for design and doesn't just give his clients what works structurally. He takes everything into consideration and is incredibly creative in coming up with solutions that work functionally and look amazing aesthetically. Being an interior designer myself, Brent is a dream to collaborate with! He is always open to ideas and truly listens to the wants and needs of his clients while successfully navigating them through the entire process. I can't recommend Widler Architectural highly enough!”

James Michael Vanderheyden
House Extension Professionals in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 April 2015
“My husband and I were very happy with James' work for us which included architectural work for our master bedroom and bathroom and our kitchen. Our Oak Park home is a 1906 gem and we wanted to keep the integrity of detail yet become more livable. Both projects included moving walls; designing wooden details--windows to cabinets--that reflected detail in the rest of the house; placing weight-bearing beams to support ceilings and roof; redesigning stairs to basement and back yard, etc. Vanderheyden is a good listener and a solid architect/designer. He worked well with both our contractor and kitchen designer to improve and carry out our designs. We give him 5 stars. Linda and John Hillman”
Jason Meyering Architecture
House Extension Professionals in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 August 2018
“I have worked with Jason for the past 10 years on a wide variety of projects and he is an incredible architect! He has the perfect balance of design ingenuity and technical savvy that many design professionals lack. His strengths lie in his ability to creatively solve complex design issues and develop clever solutions that are beautiful and timeless. Beyond that, Jason is the hardest working architect I have ever known. He will work night and day to achieve the optimal design solution aesthetically, while adhering to time frame, build-ability and budget. Don't think twice and hire Jason.”

“Michael Menn designed and constructed with the help of his experienced pool of subcontractors the kitchen of my dreams in an older home that I love for both its tradition and its memories. It is a pleasure for me to come down in the morning to a space so much in keeping with the style of our home and offering me at the same time all that is in modo contemporary for the our time. Michael Menn is a gentleman who honors his word amd his contractural agreements. He was always available to me and responded promptly to any and all concerns or questions that I may have had. Michael is in addition someone with whom one could easily make a lasting friendship. I would not hesitiate for a minute to recommend him to others nor to contact him for any future projects that I had in mind.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
A house extension is a construction process that involves expanding the footprint of your existing home. This could be extending outwards, either to the side or rear of the house, or upwards by adding another storey. House extensions provide extra living space and can significantly increase the value of your property.

House extensions can be categorised based on direction, structure and function. The main types include rear extensions, side return extensions, wrap-around extensions, and double or single-storey extensions. More specific ones could be kitchen extensions, loft conversions, basement conversions, garage conversions or conservatories. Select the type that best suits your property and meets your space needs, if you are unsure, speaking with a local home extension builder in Chicago.

Generally, house extensions are worth the investment. They provide additional living space and can dramatically increase the resale value of your home, often covering the initial investment cost. However, plan carefully and choose a reputable house extension builder to ensure a high-quality build that will add value to your property.

The cost of a house extension can vary significantly based on several factors, such as the size, complexity of the design, quality of materials used, and geographical location. However, as a rough estimate, a single-storey extension can range from £1,000 to £2,000 per square metre, whereas a two-storey extension can start at around £1,500 per square metre.

Planning a house extension involves several stages, including idea generation, design, planning permission, and construction. Consult with a house extension architect to create a design based on your needs and budget. Ensure to check with your local council about planning permissions. Finally, choose a reputable house extension builder to bring your vision to life.
