Home additions in St. Cloud, FL: Right Image Inc (Right Image Builders) is a licensed and insured Florida general contractor (CGC1539321) based in Oviedo, building room additions, second stories, in-law suites, garage conversions and ADUs across St. Cloud and Osceola County — structural engineering, permitting and construction under one contract.
Additions & ADUs in St. Cloud, FL — planning ranges (updated October 2026): Room addition $40,000 – $120,000 · Second-story addition $150,000 – $300,000+ · ADU / garage conversion $50,000 – $180,000.

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 rules change between each city and the unincorporated parts of Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties. We build to what actually applies to your St. Cloud lot.
Add a bedroom, primary suite, or great-room bump-out with a foundation and roofline that match the existing home.

We work throughout St. Cloud — from Anthem Park and Stevens Plantation to Lakeshore, Canoe Creek, Narcoossee area. St. Cloud is a growing Osceola County city on East Lake Tohopekaliga with newer subdivisions, and it sits in Osceola County, part of the Greater Orlando area we cover from our base in Oviedo.
Permitting for a St. Cloud home addition goes through City of St. Cloud Building Division. St. Cloud runs its own building department, so plan review and inspections stay local. We deal with that office directly on your behalf.
Alongside St. Cloud, we regularly take on work in nearby communities including Kissimmee, Lake Nona, Celebration and Orlando.
Every St. Cloud 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 Anthem Park or Stevens Plantation through final inspection with City of St. Cloud Building Division.
St. Cloud combines a historic downtown and lakefront of 1900s–1950s homes with 2000s subdivisions like Anthem Park and Stevens Plantation and new construction along the Narcoossee corridor, where many addresses permit through Osceola County rather than the city. For additions and ADUs, it means confirming the zoning, setbacks and any HOA or architectural review for your specific lot before design starts.
St. Cloud lists accessory dwelling units as a permitted use in its single-family districts (R-E, R-1, R-1A and R-1B) under LDC Sec. 3.14.30, and ADUs are a standard building-permit type with the city. The size, occupancy and parking standards sit in Sec. 3.14.30, which the city was revising in 2026 (Ordinance 2026-17), so we confirm the current standards for your lot before design.

Typical time: about 3–5 months from permit to finish for a room addition; second stories and ADUs take longer. The stages are the same for every addition we build across Greater Orlando; what changes is the size of the job and the review time at your building department.
