Expand Your Living Space Without Leaving Your Neighborhood
Running out of room? Before you consider moving, explore the possibilities of a home addition.
Whether you need an extra bedroom, expanded kitchen, sunroom, or second-story master suite, Cloward Building Concepts designs and builds additions that feel like original parts of your home.
With decades of combined team experience, we seamlessly blend new construction with existing architecture throughout Central Pennsylvania.
Why Choose an Addition Over Moving?
Home additions offer compelling advantages over relocating. You’ll avoid real estate commissions, moving costs, and the disruption of changing schools or neighborhoods.
Additions let you stay in the community you love while creating exactly the space you need. You control the design, finishes, and features rather than compromising on an existing home. And in many cases, the investment in additional square footage increases your home’s value more than the project cost.
Our Seamless Addition Process
Successful additions require architectural planning, structural engineering, and construction expertise. We coordinate every phase from initial concepts through final walkthrough.
Our team ensures your addition matches your home’s existing style while meeting current building codes. We handle permits, inspections, and all the technical details that make additions complex.

Building on Carlisle-Area Properties
Every property presents unique opportunities and constraints. We’ve built additions on compact in-town lots, expansive suburban properties, sloped terrain, and everything between.
Our experience spans Carlisle’s historic district regulations to standard suburban townships. We understand setback requirements, how to work around utility easements, and strategies for maximizing your buildable area while respecting your neighbors.
