Home Additions in Fairlawn, Ohio
An addition is new construction attached to a building that has already done its settling. Getting the roof line, the floor height and the foundation connection right is the whole job.
Why home additions in Fairlawn is its own problem
Fairlawn and Ghent homeowners are our highest-value remodeling clientele. The expectation here is not just that the work is done — it is that the detail work reads as original to the architecture.
Fairlawn and the 44333 corridor hold some of Summit County's most valuable residential property — large-footprint colonials and custom builds from the 1980s through the 2000s, many with complex multi-plane roofs, dormers, turrets and extensive copper or standing-seam accent work. These are homes where a cheap shingle and a sloppy flashing detail are visible from the street.
The Sand Run and Ghent ridge lines are exposed to west and northwest wind, and the mature oak and maple canopy that makes the area beautiful also drops limbs on roofs and packs gutters with debris every autumn.
