Room Additions in North Georgia, Without Making the Rest of the House Feel Bolted-Together.

A family that outgrew the house before the mortgage was halfway paid off. A home office that’s currently a corner of the guest room. Twenty-eight years of North Georgia home additions later, we know how to add space that looks like it was always there.

Why "We'll Just Move" Isn't Always the Right Answer

Moving costs more than people think, and the house you’d move to usually has the same problem yours does, just in a different room. A home addition solves the actual problem: not enough space, in the exact spot you already live.

That’s the addition we build. Not a box stuck on the back of the house. A room that looks like it was part of the original plan.

Design That Starts With Why You're Adding On

Maybe it’s a bedroom for a growing family. Maybe it’s a suite for a parent moving in. Maybe it’s a home office that needs a door that closes. We design the room addition around the specific reason you need it, then make sure it matches the house it’s attached to instead of looking like an afterthought.

How Much Does a Room Addition Cost?

Room and home additions range more than almost anything we build. A bump-out and a full second story aren’t close to the same investment. We’ll give you a real number once we know the scope, not a range wide enough to be meaningless.

How It Works

The Same Four Steps, Scaled to a New Room

1. Discovery

We look at your lot, your budget, and whether this is a bump-out, a full addition, or a second story, then talk through what the new space needs to do.

2. Design Development

Renderings that show how the addition ties into your existing roofline, siding, and floor plan, not just the new room on its own.

3. Execution

Foundation and structural work done right the first time. An addition is only as good as what's underneath it.

4. Fulfillment

A full walkthrough of the new space, and confirmation it matches the rest of the house the way it was designed to.

What You Actually Get Back

A well-built addition adds real square footage and real resale value, but most of our clients build one because they need the room now, not because of what it’ll do at closing. Either way, it’s space you’ll use starting the week it’s done.

What's Different About an Addition With Us

We Match the House, Not Just Add to It. Rooflines, siding, and trim that match what’s already there, so the addition looks original instead of obviously new. One Lead Carpenter, Start to Finish. Structural Work Gets the Same Attention as the Finishes. Foundations and framing done right the first time, since it’s the part of an addition you’ll never see again once it’s closed up. We Check Back After You’ve Lived With the New Space.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a basement remodel project and I can't recommend Michael James enough. We spoke with several contractors and it was very apparent upon speaking with Michael and his team that they would provide the quality and service we were looking for. They have a great process from initial consultation through design and construction. They took care of everything and managed the project perfectly. They finished the project a week earlier than the proposed timeline and everything appeared to go smoothly from our perspective. They communicated consistently throughout the project so we always knew what to expect. Again, I can't recommend them highly enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael James, Jenni, Edgar and the MJ team of subs provided us with an exceptional experience for our primary bath renovation. We were delighted with the outcome and are still commenting to each other how much we love our new bathroom.  Michael worked hard to make the zero entry shower a reality for us,  Jenni worked diligently to have all the subs lined up and ready to go. Edgar provided his magic touch making the odd frustrations that come with a renovation "fixable."  Somehow he got it done! Communication was top notch as we would receive a text notifying us who would be arriving that day. The process flowed and I know that took a lot of planning on their part.  I would highly recommend Michael James Remodeling.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Michael James Remodeling on two extensive projects - expansion of our living/dining area and total renovation of our primary bathroom. On both occasions MJ and team did an outstanding job. This is a top notch set of professionals dedicated to listening to their customers, focused on detail, quality craftsmanship, timeliness and fully managing and enhancing an entire remodeling project from your first call into the office to the final walkthrough and beyond. I’ve engaged multiple contractors before (meaning those that actually show up or return your call) but MJ and team are hands down unequivocally the best. You will not regret contacting them, it will be a very positive experience. If you desire quality work, look no further.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience working with Michael and his entire team as they rebuilt our deck. They listened to what we wanted and gave us the beautiful outdoor space we’d hoped for, despite some of the challenges our project offered. The work was completed on a timely basis, and they always made sure to leave the workspace clean, and as usable as possible as the project progressed. We will definitely contact them again for future projects.
