Project story
A Peace Portal-area couple in Blaine had a home they loved but no primary suite worth speaking of — a small primary bedroom, a shared hall bath, and no walk-in closet space. Rather than move, they wanted to add a proper primary suite off the back of the house.
The addition scope: 480 sq ft off the rear of the house — new primary bedroom, walk-in closet, and a full en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and double vanity. We designed the addition to match the existing rooflines exactly, including a small gable extension that made the new footprint feel intentional rather than tacked on.
Foundation was a concrete stem wall on properly sized footings. Framing tied into the existing wall with an engineered connection, and the roof was framed to match the existing pitch and shingle profile. Siding, trim, and paint matched the original house so cleanly that from the street you can’t tell the addition wasn’t part of the original build. Total project: five and a half months from foundation to move-in.
