More space, matched to your home and your local code

Adding on is the most structural work a home can undergo — foundation, framing, roofline, and tie-ins all have to be engineered and permitted correctly. We manage the whole process, from feasibility and design through permits and final finishes.

Additions and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are handled differently by each jurisdiction — the City of Oviedo, unincorporated Seminole County, and the City of Orlando each set their own rules. We build to what actually applies to your Lake Mary lot.

Lake Mary, Seminole County

What a home addition in Lake Mary involves

We work throughout Lake Mary — from Heathrow and Timacuan to Magnolia Plantation, Cardinal Oaks, Greenwood Lakes. Lake Mary is an upscale Seminole County community around the Heathrow corridor, and it sits in Seminole County, part of the Greater Orlando area we cover from our base in Oviedo.

Permitting for a Lake Mary home addition goes through City of Lake Mary Building Division. Lake Mary runs its own building department, so plan review and inspections stay local. We deal with that office directly on your behalf.

Alongside Lake Mary, we regularly take on work in nearby Seminole County communities including Winter Springs, Casselberry, Longwood and Sanford.

Every Lake Mary home addition we take on is run by the same licensed general contractor (CGC1539321) that pulls the permit — so there is one point of accountability from the first walkthrough in Heathrow or Timacuan through final inspection with City of Lake Mary Building Division.

Additions & ADUs FAQ

Common questions

It depends on your city or county's zoning, lot size, and setbacks — the rules differ across Oviedo, unincorporated Seminole County, and Orlando. We check what applies to your specific lot before you spend money on design. In Lake Mary, that review goes through City of Lake Mary Building Division, and we build their turnaround into the schedule we give you.
Most room additions run about 3–5 months from permit to finish; second stories and ADUs take longer. Engineering and permitting happen before we break ground, and we give you a schedule up front. For Lake Mary specifically: Lake Mary issues its own building permits.
Yes — additions require structural engineering and permitting, and we coordinate both, plus any HOA or architectural-review approval, as part of the project. We do this work across Lake Mary and the wider Seminole County area from our base in Oviedo.
