Home Addition Contractor in Carlisle, PA

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.

We did not hesitate calling Matt for our kitchen remodel after the great work he and his team had done two years prior with our basement. The basement project involved moving a support pole and reinforcing a support beam. During this process, we had to get the township inspectors involved and all of that was handled with little or no effort from us, with Matt taking care of building permits, inspections, and even representing us at a township meeting to obtain a waiver. So, after that experience, we did not hesitate to call Matt. Matt brings a lot to the table when it comes to design advice. While we knew what we wanted for out kitchen, he and his group provided valuable input throughout the project. The entire crew was respectful of our home, protecting areas that were not involved in the project. These are people that you are comfortable having them in your house. The end result was a beautiful modern kitchen.

Finding a reliable, honest, talented, creative and professional contractor can be incredibly difficult. Having been a real estate investor for several years, I am thrilled to have found all of the above in Matt Cloward and Cloward Building Concepts. I have used Matt and his crew for small and large projects, projects in occupied residences as well as vacant, professional and personal projects, and jobs when time and budget were very important to project success. I have never been disappointed. Matt maintains constant communication, shows up on appointment, offers creative solutions to design and mechanical problems, earns the trust and respect of those he is working with and for, and always produces a quality end result. Cloward Building Concepts is an excellent choice for any of your contractor needs!
