Home Additions in Kennesaw, GA
When your Kennesaw home needs more space, a custom addition is often a smarter investment than selling and moving. Catalino Quality Construction builds home additions for families throughout Kennesaw, Georgia — from established neighborhoods near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park and Big Shanty Park to growing communities along George Busbee Parkway, Jiles Road, and Barrett Parkway. With nearly 15 years of experience, owner Robert Catalino designs and constructs additions that blend seamlessly with your existing home.
Why Kennesaw Families Add On
Kennesaw's strong schools, convenient access to I-75 and Town Center, and family-friendly neighborhoods make it a place people want to stay. But many homes in the area — especially those built in the 1980s and 1990s in neighborhoods like Due West, Challedon, Pine Mountain Village, and Kennesaw Crossing — were designed for smaller families and different lifestyles. Closed-off kitchens, undersized master bedrooms, and a shortage of bathrooms are common frustrations.
A well-planned addition solves those problems while building equity in a home and neighborhood you already love. In most cases, the cost of adding on is significantly less than purchasing a larger home in the same area — and you avoid the stress of uprooting your family.
Types of Home Additions We Build
Catalino Quality Construction handles a wide range of residential addition projects:
- Room additions — Extra bedrooms, expanded family rooms, or dedicated home offices
- Master suite additions — Spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and full bathroom built to modern standards
- Sunrooms and screened porches — Three-season or four-season rooms that connect your indoor and outdoor living spaces
- In-law suites — Self-contained living quarters with private entrance, kitchenette, and bathroom
- Second-story additions — Adding an entire floor when your lot doesn't allow outward expansion
- Garage conversions — Transforming unused garage space into functional living area
- Kitchen expansions — Bumping out walls to create the open-concept kitchen your family needs
Each project is designed to integrate with your home's existing architecture, matching rooflines, siding, windows, and interior trim so the addition looks original.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home addition cost in Kennesaw?
Costs vary significantly based on the size, complexity, and finishes involved. A single-room bump-out is considerably less than a full second-story addition. We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site evaluation so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Do I need a permit for a home addition in Kennesaw?
Yes. All home additions in Kennesaw require building permits from the City of Kennesaw, including structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits depending on the scope. We handle the entire permitting process for you.
How long does it take to build a home addition?
A small bump-out or sunroom typically takes four to eight weeks. Larger projects like master suite additions or second-story builds can take three to five months depending on complexity, weather, and permit inspection timelines.
Will the addition match the rest of my house?
That's one of our top priorities. We match rooflines, exterior siding, window styles, and interior trim so the addition looks like it was part of the original construction. Robert Catalino personally oversees the design integration on every project.
