Home Additions - Bergen County, NJ
Expand Your Square Footage Without Compromising Your Home's Original Character or Structural Integrity.
You love your neighborhood. You love your street. You have simply run out of room.
Moving to a larger home in Bergen County means leaving your neighborhood, your children's school district, and the community you have spent years building. For most homeowners, that trade-off is not worth it. The better answer is to expand what you already have.
An addition that looks like it was always part of your home - not an obvious afterthought.
All zoning compliance, structural engineering, and permits managed by one team. See our full design-build process.
Bergen Remodeling expertise built over 20 years of additions across every Bergen County municipality. For projects requiring a full rebuild, see our custom home building services.
ADPB Group Bergen Remodeling, the evolution of Bergen Remodeling, has been expanding Bergen County homes since 2002.
Addition Types
Whether you need a second story, a ground-floor extension, or an in-law suite, ADPB Group Bergen Remodeling manages the full scope. Structural assessment, architectural design, permits, and construction - all under one contract.
A full second story built over your existing footprint. We assess your foundation, design the structural system, manage permits, and deliver a new level that integrates with your existing roofline and exterior.
Expanding your home's footprint at grade level. Family rooms, expanded kitchens, primary suites, and sunrooms built to match your existing exterior and interior finishes precisely.
A self-contained living space for aging parents or extended family. Full kitchen, bathroom, and living area designed for both accessibility and privacy, integrated into your existing home structure.
Converting your attached garage into a finished living space. Home offices, studios, and additional bedrooms built to the same standard as the rest of your home with proper insulation and mechanical systems.
We manage all setback reviews, variance applications where needed, and building permits through every Bergen County municipality. Our 20-year history across these offices means fewer delays and faster approvals.
Matching rooflines, exterior cladding, window profiles, and interior finishes so the addition is architecturally indistinguishable from the original structure. This is the standard we hold every project to.
Completed Additions
Four representative projects below. Each includes project type, location, timeline, scope, and a client perspective. Before and in-progress images show the structural work behind every finished result.
A complete add-a-level project over an existing ranch-style home in Glen Rock. The original foundation was assessed and reinforced to support the new structural load. The exterior was reclad entirely to create a cohesive two-story appearance. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms added to the upper level.
"We were told by two contractors that our foundation could not support a second story. ADPB Group assessed it, reinforced what was needed, and built exactly what we wanted. The house looks like it was always two stories."
T. Marchetti - Glen Rock, NJ
A 600 sq ft primary suite addition on the rear of an existing colonial in Paramus. The project required opening the existing structure, extending the roofline, and matching the existing siding and trim. A new primary bathroom and walk-in closet were included within the addition footprint.
"The addition looks like it has always been there. The exterior matching alone was something other contractors said they could not do. ADPB Group Bergen Remodeling made it seamless."
A. and R. Okonkwo - Paramus, NJ
A self-contained in-law suite added to the side of an existing home in Tenafly. The suite includes a full kitchen, living area, bedroom, and accessible bathroom with a separate entrance. All zoning and accessory dwelling unit requirements were managed through the Tenafly Building Department by the ADPB Group Bergen Remodeling team.
"My mother now lives in a beautiful, private space attached to our home. ADPB handled everything including the variance we needed from the township. We never had to make a single call to the building department ourselves."
S. Park - Tenafly, NJ
A 450 sq ft ground-floor family room extension on a Colonial in Franklin Lakes. The project required removing a load-bearing exterior wall, installing a new structural beam, and extending the existing roofline. Interior finishes were matched to the existing home's millwork and flooring throughout.
"The new family room flows perfectly from the original space. You cannot tell where the old house ends and the addition begins. That was exactly what we asked for and exactly what we got."
M. Kowalski - Franklin Lakes, NJ
Our Process
Every addition starts with a thorough structural assessment. No two homes have the same foundation, roofline, or setback conditions - which is why we never provide an estimate before visiting the site.
We visit your home, assess the existing structure, review setback conditions, and discuss your vision in full.
We develop architectural drawings and structural specifications. You review and approve before any permit is filed.
We file and manage all permit applications and respond to any municipal review comments on your behalf.
Our crew builds the addition with regular updates and milestone billing. You never pay ahead of completed work.
We walk every finished space together. We do not call it done until you confirm it meets the agreed standard.
Bergen County Case Study
The Zoning Challenge. A homeowner in Teaneck approached ADPB Group Bergen Remodeling for a full second-story addition on a 1962 split-level. Teaneck Township zoning code requires that total building height not exceed 35 feet and that the combined floor area ratio (FAR) remain within 0.35 for the lot classification. The existing structure was at 0.28 FAR - the proposed addition would bring it to 0.34. Within compliance, but requiring precise calculation and full documentation before the township would accept the permit application.
The Structural Load Assessment. Adding a full second story to a 1962 split-level required a thorough assessment of the existing foundation and first-floor structural system. Our team identified that the original center beam was undersized for the additional load and specified a replacement LVL beam with a larger tributary area. Two new concrete piers were added at the center span. All structural calculations were prepared and submitted to the Teaneck Building Department as part of the permit package - the kind of documentation that prevents permit rejections and field inspection failures.
The Outcome. The township issued the building permit without delay because every calculation, drawing, and zoning compliance document was filed correctly the first time. The exterior was reclad to match the original facade, and the roofline was designed to read as original construction from the street. This is what ADPB Group Bergen Remodeling, the evolution of Bergen Remodeling, delivers on every home addition in Bergen County. See the full design-build process we follow.
