Home Additions · Charles Town

Why Charles Town homeowners hire us.

A Charles Town addition starts with the foundation in front of us. On an older house the work can be a room tied into stone or block, and the yard may be tight. On a newer house the question may be a bedroom, a larger kitchen, or a screened porch. We check the foundation and the lot rather than assuming a subdivision type.

Inside city limits, the Building Inspection office at City Hall, 101 E. Washington Street, lists additions on the work that needs a building permit, along with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC when those systems are in the job. Apply in person or through MGO. The Department of Community Development is at 304-724-3248.

Outside the city, Jefferson County's Office of Building Permits and Inspections at 116 East Washington Street, Suite 100, lists building additions among the work that needs a permit, and it requires compliance with the International Residential Code version adopted by the State of West Virginia. The published contact is 304-725-2998 and permits@jeffersoncountywv.org. Filings go through MGO Connect. We check the parcel before we file. We price every Charles Town addition on a free written estimate for your home.

The written estimate itemizes the foundation, the framing, and the trades. WV Contractor License WV062432.
