The hardest part of an addition is often the connection to the existing home. Roof geometry, foundation, drainage, siding, windows, utilities and interior circulation must meet without looking or performing like an afterthought. 3G begins with goals and site constraints, then defines the team and approvals needed for a complete scope.
One symptom does not automatically mean full replacement. It does identify where a useful inspection should begin.
A successful addition should read as part of the original exterior. These projects show how rooflines, siding, windows and transitions were coordinated around new space.
We planned the exterior relationship from the start so the new volume would not look attached as an afterthought. The roof, wall openings and cladding were aligned with the existing home to create a unified final elevation.
The project brought several exterior systems together in one build. We coordinated the roof connection, wall finish, openings and water-control details so the new room feels visually connected to the home.
The new footprint was designed around arrival and daily use while respecting the existing facade. Exterior materials and trim lines were carried through the addition to make the entrance feel established and complete.
An addition affects almost every exterior system. The roof must drain, siding and openings need weather layers, gutters need new capacity and grade must carry water away.

Begin with the space problem, property constraints and a realistic budget range. Design and technical scope should come before finish shopping.
Responsibility varies by project and jurisdiction. The agreement should identify design, engineering, zoning review, permits, inspections and fees.
Close coordination is often possible, but aged or discontinued roofing, brick and siding may not match exactly. Sometimes a deliberate complementary transition looks better than a near-match.
Existing framing, foundations, utilities and moisture conditions may not be fully visible before work begins. A written change-order process should define approval and pricing.
