Our Home Addition Services
Additions to Your Home’s Main Level
Home additions allow your home to expand as your needs change—without you having to relocate.
Adding to your home’s main level may involve load bearing wall removal, room expansion, or restructuring of your current floor plan. Our experience with structural remodels ensures that your home addition is not only beautiful, but safe and up to code.
PR Builders is a Denver home addition remodeling contractor for many different types of additions, like bedrooms, owner’s suites, home offices, sunrooms, and much more.
Pop Tops & Second Story Additions
Add a level to give yourself the extra room you need without expanding your home’s footprint.
Second story home additions, or pop tops, are one of the best ways to maximize your home’s footprint.
Pop tops are more and more popular when remodeling homes in Denver’s older nieghborhoods as they allow you to build up where other additions aren’t possible. If you’re living in an older single-family home in Denver, a pop top can give you the space you’re looking for!

As trusted Denver pop top contractors, we’ll help you determine if your home meets the structural requirements necessary for second-story addition. Our team is experienced with Denver’s zoning restrictions, building codes, permitting systems, and much more.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Additions don’t need to be limited to your house—get whatever use you desire from the expanse of your property. We’ll help you complete garage additions, guest cottages, secondary suites, and standalone home additions in the form of accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
Our Denver ADU builders are experienced in custom home construction and can help you create a custom space that’s just right for what you need.
Basement Additions
Don’t let that extra space go to waste—the sky’s the limit with basement finishing! Whether you’re adding more bedrooms, building a basement entertainment center, or adding a wet bar, finishing your basement is a game changer for creating more livable space.
As remodeling contractors experienced in structural remodeling, we safely turn underutilized basement space into beautiful, usable areas. Since adding to your basement may affect your home’s load bearing elements, our focus is preserving the stability of your home while incorporating a design that you love.
Digging Out Your Crawl Space For a Basement
Adding a basement by converting your crawl space is a popular option to get more space out of a small home. Especially in older homes, like those in Denver’s historic neighborhoods, crawl spaces were a common part of the original construction. Down the road, many Denver homeowners seek to convert their unused crawl space into a fully functional basement.
In these cases, a basement dig out is the perfect solution in order to gain that precious extra space. PR Builders provides basement finishing services, crawl space to basement conversions, and crawl space dig out services in Denver, Boulder, and Northern Colorado.

Getting a “pop top” or second-story addition on your home is a more affordable option comparable to the cost of moving or building a new home, especially in the Denver area. A pop top is a great way to add both space and value while staying in a neighborhood you love and a home that you own. Some factors that will influence the cost of your Denver pop top is the square footage you want to add, the structural integrity of your current home, the selections and finishes you choose, and permits required. For a more precise estimation, please contact our team for a quote.
When considering your options, the difference lies here: a remodel can free up your space, but home additions are the only way to add square footage. Only you can decide which of the two will serve your goals, and we’ll help you come to the decision of which is feasible. When you discuss it with us, we’ll consider your budget, your space requirements, zoning and regulations, your long-term goals, and your desired project timeline among other things to give clarity to your decision.
The main difference is the size and scale. A home addition is the construction of a completely new section onto your home (either to the ground level or adding a level) to add significant square footage, usually in the form of full rooms. A bump-out is a smaller addition that extends from a single existing room to expand floor area but is not a completely new room or wing. Unlike additions that can be multi-level, bump-outs are typically done room by room on the ground level only.
Deciding between a pop-top (second-story addition) or a ground-level addition will depend primarily on structural feasibility. We can determine if your house’s foundation and structure can support an additional story as part of our pre-construction process. Building regulations and local zoning laws may also play a role in determining the feasibility of adding a level vs. adding to the ground level. This decision will also depend on your budget, as adding a story generally involves more extensive construction than adding to the ground level. Reach out to us with any questions you may have on your project.
