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 Longwood lot.

Engineering & permits

We coordinate the structural engineering, permitting, and any HOA/ARB review so the addition is legal and lasting.

Longwood, Seminole County

What a home addition in Longwood involves

We work throughout Longwood — from Sweetwater Oaks and Wekiva Cove to Sabal Point, The Springs, Alaqua. Longwood is an established Seminole County city with mature tree canopy and a historic core, and it sits in Seminole County, part of the Greater Orlando area we cover from our base in Oviedo.

Permitting for a Longwood home addition goes through City of Longwood Building Division. Parts of Longwood carry historic-district review, so anything that changes the look of the house from the street can need an extra approval before a permit is issued. We build that step into the schedule rather than discovering it late.

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

Every Longwood 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 Sweetwater Oaks or Wekiva Cove through final inspection with City of Longwood 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 Longwood, that review goes through City of Longwood 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.
