Our courteous team of professionals are dedicated to making your project a success and your experience a pleasure by working closely with you from demolition through final inspection.

Room Addition

Our Mission

Extending your home’s square footage will undoubtedly boost its value but decisions about details and materials should be taken seriously and planned out well in advance to ensure your home addition has the maximum positive impact. It’s important to consider whether you want to build up or out. Adding a second story may be the perfect way to go if your home sits on a smaller lot; however, if you have the acreage to spare, expanding your square footage on to the existing level makes perfect sense. At Greenberg Construction, we specialize in helping our clients make the right decisions, whether they concern new construction, room additions, or full home remodeling. Let our experts guide you through the details.

Room Additions

Room additions are a fun and unique way to increase the visual appearance, functionality and value of your home. Our team of consultants aims to educate customers on the many options that are available and to plan and budget an addition that best fits their needs.

Second Story Addition

There are several things that need to be taken into consideration before building a second story addition. Local codes must be reviewed, as laws may prohibit the building of second floors in the event that they create shade issues for neighboring homes. Often, neighbors or home owners’ associations must be consulted to ensure that the new addition conforms to the general aesthetics of the area. You’d be surprised at how much your neighbors’ opinions can affect the look of your addition! Further, the foundation and exterior walls of the existing house will need to be strengthened, and this requires structural approval from the city. This is why it’s vital that you hire an experienced contractor like Greenberg Construction.

Construction Project Management

Pre-Construction

During the Pre-Construction phase, we will help you understand whether your local zoning laws allow a second story addition. Construction requirements for a second story will usually differ depending on the type of home. For example, adding a second floor to a ranch style structure will create much more stress on the footings and foundation than some other styles of building. This means that footings and foundations usually need to be retrofitted and made much stronger and wider in order to support the weight of the second story. It’s also likely that foundation work will need to be done before the addition can begin. This means that second-story additions are always more expensive than additions to the ground floor. Additional permits are usually required as well.

Master Suite Addition / Master Bedroom Addition

Bedroom additions often involve many design factors. Master bedroom suites include extra planning, because plumbing might be needed in order to add fixtures such as sinks, shower, bathtub and toilet. These fixtures may increase the value of the addition dramatically, especially if fixtures such as a spa tub or a custom shower are included. They can also increase the value of your home, so more often than not nicer fixtures are a worthy investment.

Kitchen & Bathroom Addition

Before building a kitchen or bathroom addition, we will review your existing home’s plans to make sure that nothing will impede the project. We check the location of underground utilities, the drainage easements, septic tank and leach field if there is one. Although in some cases it is possible to move existing pipes, the location of all these items could impact the addition.

In-Law Unit Addition

There are many reasons that adding a fully contained living space to your property might make sense. Maybe an older member of your family needs a place to stay. Perhaps you have houseguests that stay just a little bit too long? A twenty-something child that isn’t ready to leave the nest? Or maybe it’s just an opportunity to rent the unit and make some extra money. Whatever the case, Greenberg Construction stands ready to help you make the most of your home’s extra space.

Adding a family room is also a great way to increase both the value and the functionality of a home. When designed correctly, a family room can be your home’s focal point, a place where anything goes. It could be family discussion time, informal dinners, game nights, watching your favorite tv show, or playing with the kids, grandkids, or pets. This versatility allows flexibility unlike any other type of home addition.

Build Green

Greenberg Construction is Build-It-Green certified and every decision we make takes green building best practices into consideration. That includes not only material selection, but also the construction process itself. Green building involves minimizing impact to the environment and protecting you and your family from any danger, as well as proper recycling and hazardous material disposal.

Green building is rapidly becoming a vital way of reducing the carbon footprint of any community. Buildings account for almost 80% of all greenhouse gas emissions and making them not only more energy efficient, but also built in a more sustainable manner goes a long way to reducing Global Warming.

Frame extension to the house in Vesyegonsk – 277000 rubles.

One of the advantages of living in your own house is the ability to expand your living space without changing your place of residence. The easiest and most rational way is to build an extension to an existing house. There was not enough space in the house for a large and strong family from the city of Vesyegonsk, and Elena ordered the construction of an extension in our company. The customer decided to build an extension using frame technology. This is a wise and far-sighted decision, the frame extension has a low mass, so the requirements for the foundation are minimal, which will reduce costs. The construction time for frame buildings is short, usually an extension is built in one to two weeks. Frame technology makes it possible to immediately begin to settle in new premises, as there is no shrinkage and wet stages in construction. The frame extension, if necessary, can be easily dismantled or modified. Subject to construction technology, frame buildings have a minimum level of heat loss, so heating costs will be small. Construction will be carried out in the Tver region.

The customer decided to add two rooms of 11 sq. m. to the house. m each. Additional square meters will make the life of a friendly family comfortable – the children will have separate rooms.

Coordination of construction details was carried out promptly and in a confidential atmosphere. After the signing of the contract, preparations for construction began. Building materials are assembled, neatly packed and loaded. Professional builders went to the Tver region. The supporting-columnar foundation and the base of the extension were assembled. Framed walls installed. The truss structures were installed and the roofing was laid. The ceiling is insulated, the finishing floor is laid. Installed windows, doors and stairs. It took experienced carpenters a little over a week to build a 6×4 m frame extension. The area of ​​the house has increased by 22 square meters. m – now there is enough space for everyone.

The extension was built in 9 days and put into operation in June 2019.

Place of construction: the city of Vesyegonsk in the Tver region of Russia.

Layout of the frame extension 4×6 m

The foundation of the extension is columnar. The base of the house is reliably waterproofed with two layers of roofing material. The strapping is made of two rows of timber with a section of 150×150 mm, for additional reliability of the base. Beams from edged timber of natural moisture with a section of 100 x 150 mm are installed on the “edge” in the first strapping row. The logs are made of natural moisture timber with a section of 40×150 mm in increments of 600 mm and are installed on the “edge” in the second strapping row.

The size of the extension is 6×4 m at the outer corners of the building. Walls and partitions are made using frame technology. The frame is made of chamber-drying edged board with a section of 40×150 mm, sheathed on the outside with OSB 9mm, sheathed on the inside with chamber-drying clapboard class “B”, through the ventilation gaps from a bar 20x40mm, insulated with Rockwool thermal insulation 150mm thick and laid outside with a Nanoizol A membrane film , and from the inside “Nanoizol C”,

The draft floor is made of edged boards of natural moisture 20×100 mm and is laid on cranial bars 40×50 mm and laid with a membrane film “Nanoizol A”. Then it is insulated with roll thermal insulation “Knauf” 150 mm or its equivalent. It is laid with a Nanoizol C membrane film. Further, a rail with a section of 20×40 mm is mounted along the logs, on which a finishing floor is laid from a tongue-and-groove board of chamber drying 36 mm.

Frame gables are made of edged board with a section of 40×150 mm, which is installed on the “edge”. The gables are laid with Nanoizol A membrane film, which is rolled out perpendicular to the uprights with the smooth side outward overlapping, at least 100 mm. The pediments are sheathed on the outside with OSB 9mm and mounted on a rail with a section of 20×40 mm.

Celestials and cornices are made with a width of 450 mm and sheathed with clapboard of natural humidity class “B”. The roof is shed. Ondulin is used as a roofing material – the material absorbs sound well, is durable and inexpensive. Coating color is green.

Two wooden paneled doors measuring 800×2050 mm are installed. The installation of windows with wooden frames of the following sizes was completed: 1.0×1.2 m double-leaf 3 pcs. .All windows are double glazed and fitted with fittings. Finishing of window and door openings is made by clapboard of class “B”. As extensions to the windows, a planed board with a section of 40×150 mm is used. A staircase was assembled from the customer’s materials, which was necessary due to the difference between the finished floor in the house and the extension.

Increase the useful area of ​​the building by building extensions is a decision often made by homeowners. The new structure can be used as a living space or auxiliary warehouse. An extension to the house is constructed of timber, brick, concrete or has a frame base. It is important not only to optimize costs, but to choose a design in the same style so that the building looks harmonious.

Legal details of the beginning of construction

The established practice of registration of already completed construction projects takes a lot of effort and money, and as a result, the court does not always allow you to register a cottage. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out all the necessary approvals and obtain permits before starting construction.

It is legally determined that for objects of a capital nature that have load-bearing structures, walls, engineering networks, it is necessary to obtain permits and draw up a project. In such buildings, engineering networks supplied from the main networks will be installed. The need to obtain approvals is due to security considerations. If calculations are not made according to the standards, the extension can damage the foundation, disrupt the normal operation of networks, or cause discomfort to neighbors.

The process of obtaining approvals will be faster and easier if the main building is registered in the property, and it has all the documentation and permits.
Non-permanent structures do not affect the main structure, are not connected to networks. Their construction does not require project documentation, approvals.

Non-permanent structures may be:

• canopy
• outdoor staircase to upper floor
• balcony
• terrace, porch

An example of an extension to a wooden house of a capital character, which requires prior approval, is a summer kitchen made of timber with a stove, a winter garden with a heating system, a relaxation room with a fireplace.

Design development should be entrusted to a licensed design organization. A technical document with the layout of engineering networks, drawn up according to the standards, will not be difficult to coordinate with the authorized authorities. After carrying out the necessary checks by the Department of Architecture and supervisory authorities, the applicant will receive a building permit. Upon completion of the construction process, an act of commissioning is drawn up, which is the main document for registering property rights.

If the construction of a frame extension to a house made of timber leads to an expansion of the internal space, then the property rights of the owners should also be reviewed. If the registration is not carried out according to the law, subsequent property transactions will become impossible. Will need to go to court.

The main types of extensions

At the beginning of construction, it is important to make the foundation correctly and securely fasten the extension to the house from a bar. For a new capital structure, it will be necessary to make a foundation with the same characteristics as the one built. And even in this case, there is no guarantee that cracks will not appear at the joints, since the soil layer under the old foundation has already shrunk.

If the construction documentation has been preserved, then it is not difficult to determine the required characteristics. Otherwise, an examination of the old foundation is performed. A tape-type base for an extension to a house made of timber, built by oneself, is tied to the main reinforcement.

Varieties of the structure according to design features:

• Side structure having a common roof with the main structure. This option requires a minimum investment. One of the walls of the main building will become the wall of the extension, the roof will be built up. To connect objects in the wall, a passage is made. Such expansion can be performed from two sides.
• Side annex with separate roof. This variety is chosen in cases where it is impossible to make a combined roof. The construction of a new roof will require more costs.
• Increase in the number of storeys of the house. It is possible to build on floors only if the foundation can withstand the load. By creating full-fledged floors, it is easy to significantly increase the interior space. But construction costs will be high.
• Attic structures. In this case, the space under the roof is equipped. It can be residential or warehouse. A preliminary assessment of the possibility of increasing the load on the base will also be required.

The choice of the best type of object is made taking into account the main characteristics of the one already built. At the same time, the possible construction time is taken into account. For example, if you need to quickly make an extension to a brick house, then a side structure made of timber with a combined roof would be optimal.

Varieties by types of base material

For the right choice, you need to proceed from the planned functionality of the object. The living quarters need warm walls, if a greenhouse is being built, then the walls and roof are made of glass. The main materials are: log, beam, brick, blocks, cement, sandwich panels on the frame.

Wood

An extension to a log house is most often constructed from timber or logs. Wooden beams are offered in several types: planed, glued, rounded. The warmest extension of the glued variety will be, however, the external attractiveness of the rounded one is higher. The advantages of wood include:

• Affordable cost. Even a large extension will not require a lot of expenses.
• High environmental friendliness. It will not emit harmful substances when heated. Inside there will always be an optimal microclimate.
• Can be used for structures of any purpose.
• High construction speed. Installation is simple, so it is easy to assemble the walls with your own hands.
• The surface can be tinted with colored varnishes or painted with paint in the desired shade.
• Glued or kiln-dried wood practically does not shrink, so it is allowed to immediately insert windows, finish walls without waiting for shrinkage.

The disadvantages include the need for regular treatment of the wooden wall with fire retardant compositions. However, responsible manufacturers, already at the manufacturing stage, impregnate the wood with special agents, which protects it from pests and decay. If an extension of a veranda or other structure is being built to a house from a bar, then the material is chosen the same as on the main building.

Some difficulties may arise when choosing a method for attaching an extension to a house from a bar. If the tree was used in natural moisture, then it will take time to shrink. After that, the extension is fixed on the brackets or on the bar. The bracket option is applicable to small structures.

An interesting fact: when gluing lamellas during the production of timber, three types of adhesives are used: melamine, polyurethane, isoacitate. Isoacetate glue is considered the most environmentally friendly, but it has a high cost. Most manufacturers use melamine compounds due to the optimal cost, however, they contain a small percentage of harmful formaldehyde.

Frame structures

In them, the load-bearing structures are mounted from a metal profile or wooden beams, and the walls are erected from OSB boards or moisture-resistant chipboard, followed by insulation. OSB boards are distinguished by high soundproofing properties. Inside such a building it will be warm all year round. Modern heaters do not emit harmful substances when heated, they are characterized by low flammability.

Popular prefabricated structures are lightweight, so they are built on foundation blocks or screw piles. The cost of frame structures is low, it is possible to carry out a project of complex shape according to individual parameters. It will take no more than 10 days to professionally assemble a frame extension to a house from a bar. External finishing of plates can be carried out in any way: plaster, paint, clapboard, ventilated facades.

Brick

Brick is the most reliable and durable material. Capital objects are built from it. The advantages of brick walls will be:

• The structure has a maximum service life. Brick does not deteriorate from temperature changes and humidity levels.
• A wide range of material with different colors, textures, sizes. For any architectural style, you can choose the most suitable material.
• The cost of the work is high, it will take a long time.

The disadvantages of brick structures include high purchase cost, expensive work. Brick walls are very heavy, so before deciding to build an extension to a house of timber or brick, it is worth evaluating how much load the foundation can withstand.

Connecting the new structure to the main building is no problem. The brick will be equally stable in all weather conditions, therefore, at the joints, the gaps are simply filled with mounting foam and covered with cement mortar.

An interesting fact: before the advent of bricks, stone buildings were built from plinths. They were thin clay plates 2-3 cm thick. Plinths were made in wooden forms, dried for 12-14 days, and then fired in kilns.

Building blocks

Aerated concrete and foam blocks are popular and affordable materials. Its advantages include:

• Short construction time due to large size.
• No reinforced base required.
• Light weight makes it easy to transport.
• Low cost. Possibility to purchase a piece quantity of goods.
• The porous structure of the block ensures low thermal conductivity.
• Blocks are easy to cut.

The disadvantages of block buildings include the need for external cladding. Otherwise, the walls will quickly collapse under the influence of moisture, sunlight, temperature changes. Block walls are less durable than brick walls.

Metal or wooden structures coated with non-woven fabrics

If it is necessary to build a non-permanent structure, then choose sheds that will be used seasonally or permanently. They will be based on metal or wooden racks. The roof can be straight or arched.

In the case of mounting the base for a permanent canopy, a pergola is used. It will resemble a gazebo, with supports in all corners. The roof of the pergola is covered with a light roof covering. The advantage of the design is the speed of its construction, the constant circulation of fresh air inside. The canopy will allow you to protect yourself from the sun and rain, and can be used at any time of the year.

Interesting fact: Pergolas were originally arched structures that acted as supports for climbing plants. Now their modifications are actively used in landscape design. Almost all country houses have structures based on the pergola principle.

If a seasonal canopy is needed, preference is given to awnings, which are folding structures with a stretched awning. Awnings are very mobile, it is easy to dismantle them. Canopies have a lot of varieties according to the features of the installation, the awning used.

Extensions for what purpose can be erected

To make a useful extension to a house from a bar, you need to decide in advance how it will be used. A solid strip or lightweight foundation is mandatory. Types of residential extensions are:

• Additional room. For the comfort of residents, it is required to make walls with good thermal insulation, bring the necessary communications and think over window and door openings. The room can be used for rest and sleep, as a living room, nursery.
• Library or office with panoramic windows. Attaching an office is a good opportunity to do work without going to work. In addition to a comfortable microclimate, you will need bright lighting, the availability of sufficient network power for office equipment. The walls can be anything, but the windows are planned to be large.
• Kitchen. This option is suitable for expanding the family, when inside the building you need to make all the rooms residential, and it is convenient to cook food in the annex. You will need to supply gas, water, electricity, but when building one of the mobile walls, for example, from flexible windows, plastic sliding partitions, you can get the opportunity to dine outdoors.
• Utility rooms. They may have a common roof and foundation with a cottage. Inside there is a pantry, where it is convenient to store food stocks. The presence of engineering communications is mandatory to maintain the desired temperature inside.

When creating residential extensions, it will be necessary to increase the foundation and occupy part of the garden plot. This must be taken into account when deciding how best to attach an extension to the house from a bar.

Non-residential structures that are used for recreation or as a shed include:

• The canopy porch is the cheapest and fastest extension. Under it, a foundation device is not required. The porch is more of a decorative character, decorating the facade. You can choose the optimal design for any building. The height and number of steps are determined individually.
• Open or closed terrace. The closed terrace may not have a heating system, but it can be used at any time of the year. The walls will protect from wind, sun and precipitation. Part of the wall can be completely made of glass. Open structures are more often used in summer. Under the roof of the terrace you can store equipment, inventory. The construction period and costs are small.
• Veranda closed or open type. Closed buildings can be converted into living quarters at any time. For this, communications are brought to the veranda. If you make it open, then there will always be fresh air inside.

A garage is considered a separate type of capital outbuildings. It is not a living space, but it will require the creation of a foundation, reliable walls. The area must be sufficient to accommodate the car. It is important to properly mount the ventilation so that the smell of gasoline is not transferred from the garage.

Do not give up the opportunity to increase the useful area through the extension. At the planning stage, it is often difficult to assess the real needs for functional premises. A large selection of building materials on the market allows you to meet any budget. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a single external architectural style of the building.

Construction of a foundation for an extension in Nizhny Novgorod

Construction of foundations in Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region

The most important component in the construction of an extension is the construction of the foundation. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account not only the technology of its construction, but also to understand exactly how the soil will behave in winter, when it freezes. Here it is already relevant to consider the installation of an additional wall along the main house, to which a new object is attached.

This wall allows you to relieve excess pressure, and also has the ability to create a crate for a fine finish. Additionally, a heater is laid in it. The extension itself should be made in such a case as a separate structure, which will live a separate life and not deform when the soil heaves.

Let’s take a look at the main types of foundations that can be used in this case:

• Screw piles
• Concrete poured blocks
• Strip foundation

Which foundation to choose for an extension

Before choosing a foundation, you also need to take into account what material the load-bearing walls will be made of. Usually, wood is used for their construction, and therefore any type of foundation can be used under it. But this is only part of the information that is taken into account. You also need to take into account the main load of the house, the type of foundation under it and the composition of the soil.

• Tape can rightfully be called universal, because it is perfect for both heavy and lightweight structures. It is located only under the outer and outer load-bearing walls. It is mainly poured from concrete; to make the structure more reliable, it should be reinforced with iron rods. The disadvantages include high cost.
• Columnar , on the contrary, refers to budget options. But it is advisable to use it only when it comes to lightweight structures, for example, you need to tie a frame extension to a wooden house. The supports are special pillars located at intervals of 1.5 to 3 meters. These pillars must be placed at the intersection of load-bearing walls.
• Pile foundation type – if you are going to build a fairly massive building, weak soil prevails. This design consists of supports connected by means of a strapping beam.

Foundation for a turnkey extension

Pile-grillage

Such a foundation is a structure of piles buried in the ground below the freezing depth of the soil, and connected at the top with a metal or concrete tape (grillage).

• • applicable to any soil, including mobile and unstable, water-saturated or peaty
  • convenient for building a house in an area with a non-uniform relief (for example, on a slope)
  • does not require large consumption of materials
  • is stable and has a good load-bearing capacity
  • there are limitations related to the load-bearing capacity: the foundation is only used for one- and two-story buildings
  • installation requires high precision, therefore it is highly recommended to entrust it to specialists
  • installation work involves the use of special equipment

  Price : from 129,000 rubles Read more. ..

Strip foundation

It is a closed circuit of reinforced concrete beams, erected under all load-bearing walls of the building and transferring the load from the building to the underlying soil.
