Home Additions
More house. Same address.
Bedrooms, baths, and saunas added to the Duluth home you already love — tied into your existing structure and matched to its roofline and siding, so it reads as one house, not an afterthought.
The decision
Don't move.
Make room.
You've outgrown the house but not the location — the lot, the street, the view off Superior. Moving means losing all of that and paying a realtor to do it. The reason most people hesitate to add on instead is the same fear: that the new wing will read as a box someone stuck on the side of the house.
That match is the part we obsess over. A recent Duluth addition for Mark H. worked a bedroom and a bathroom-and-sauna into existing space — new rooms that belong to the house, not bolted to it. Here's what an addition with ProCon includes:
- Design matched to the existing home. The new roofline, siding, and window style follow what's already there, inside and out.
- Foundation & structural tie-in. The new space is joined to your existing structure properly — the part that has to be right before anything else.
- Framing & a weather-tight connection. Where old wall meets new, the seam is framed and sealed to hold out Northern Minnesota weather.
- Insulation that meets or beats the existing walls. The addition is built at least as warm as the rest of the house — often warmer.
- Plumbing & electrical extended into the new space. Wiring and wet work run into the new rooms as part of the same job, not a separate scramble.
- Interior finish matched to the rest of the house. Trim, flooring, and detail carried over so the addition doesn't announce itself.
How an addition comes together
Walkthrough to walkthrough.
Walkthrough & free estimate
We walk the existing house with you, talk through the rooms you want, and put a free written estimate in your hands.
Design to match
We design the addition to your roofline, siding, and floor plan so the new space ties in instead of standing out.
Permits
We pull the permits the addition needs and handle the paperwork before any framing starts.
Build & tie-in
Foundation, framing, the weather-tight connection, and plumbing and electrical into the new rooms — Dan on site.
Finish & walkthrough
We match the interior finish to the rest of the house, then walk the completed addition together.
Square footage, foundation work, and how far the plumbing and electrical have to run all drive the number, so there's no flat rate. We give you a written estimate at no charge.
Additions are quoted to the project; you get a real schedule before work starts — not a guess and not an open-ended job.

Addition questions
Answered.
How do you keep an addition from looking bolted-on?
We design to what's already there — the existing roofline, siding profile, window style, and interior trim. From the street in Duluth and from inside, the goal is that you can't tell where the original house stops and the addition starts. That match is the whole job for us, not an afterthought.
Can you add a sauna or a bathroom as part of an addition?
Yes. A recent Duluth project for Mark H. added a bedroom and a bathroom and sauna into existing space. We extend the plumbing and electrical into the new rooms ourselves, so the wet work and the framing are handled as one job.
Will the new addition be as warm as the rest of my house?
Warmer, usually. We insulate the addition to meet or beat the existing walls, which on an older Duluth or Cloquet home often means the new room is the most comfortable space in the house through a Northern Minnesota winter.
How much does a home addition cost, and how long does it take?
Additions are scoped and priced to the project — square footage, foundation work, and how far the plumbing and electrical have to run all change the number, so we don't quote a flat rate. You get a free written estimate and a real schedule before any work starts.
Do you handle the foundation and structural tie-in to the existing house?
Yes — that's the part that has to be right. We handle the foundation or structural tie-in to your existing home and the weather-tight connection where old meets new. ProCon is licensed in Minnesota under #QB807406 and insured, and the addition is backed by a workmanship guarantee.
