Home Additions

Home Additions Breckenridge, CO

Our process begins with listening and ends with the new home additions you’ve been dreaming about. Sometimes it is determined you just want a little more space. If you would like to add a larger kitchen, an additional first and/or second floor, a home office, larger master suite, larger entryway, or a bigger living room, the choices are endless with what we can do. Bluebird Custom Homes can help and provide the knowledge needed to answer your questions. As a local operation, we are also very familiar with the county’s building regulations. An addition can bring that extra space you may need. Having it blend in to the style of your house is key.

• Design: We translate your wish list into a high-function layout that complements your existing home. Our Breckenridge-focused designs consider snow loads, sunlight, and mountain views so the addition feels intentional – not tacked on.
• Architectural Process: From schematic concepts to construction documents, we refine proportions, materials, and elevations for a seamless match. We coordinate structural engineering early to ensure the design is beautiful, buildable, and code-compliant.
• Permits: Summit County approvals can be complex; we handle the submittals, revisions, and inspections on your behalf. Our local experience helps streamline timelines and keep your project moving.
• Foundation: Additions start with a stable base engineered for local frost depths and expansive soils. We specify proper drainage, waterproofing, and insulation to protect against freeze-thaw cycles and moisture.
• Framing: Using advanced framing techniques and species suited to alpine climates, we build a strong, true shell. Careful tie-ins to the existing structure preserve integrity and minimize settling or thermal bridging.
• Windows: We select high-performance, low-E windows tuned for altitude and seasonal solar gain. Sightlines, mullion patterns, and trim details are matched so new openings look original to the home.
• Electrical & Plumbing: Our trades upgrade panels, circuits, and GFCI/AFCI protection where required, and route efficient water lines designed for winter resilience. Fixture locations are planned with daily use in mind, reducing future maintenance.
• Interior Design & Implementation: Finishes, lighting, and built-ins are curated to mirror your existing style – or refresh it. We manage procurement and installation so the final space feels cohesive from floor to ceiling.
• Roofing: We integrate new roof planes with ice-dam prevention, proper ventilation, and durable mountain-rated materials. Flashings and snow retention are detailed to protect entries, decks, and walkways below.
