Phoenix’s Trusted Mid-Century Modern Home Addition Contractors
Adding onto a Mid-Century Modern home is not just construction—it’s preservation with purpose. At Homework Remodels, we specialize in expanding iconic postwar homes while respecting the architecture that makes them timeless. As design-build contractors for home additions, we work with you to enhance space, functionality, and value—without compromising the character you love.
If you’re searching for home addition contractors who understand beam framing, rooflines, clerestory windows, and MCM scale, you’ve found your match.
The Art of Mid-Century Modern Additions
Expanding a Mid-Century Modern home takes architectural sensitivity and precise execution. We design and build:
- Primary suite additions with flat roofs and private patios
- Expanded kitchens and dining zones that open to the outdoors
- Guest suites and casitas with clean lines and complementary materials
- Second-story additions (rare but feasible) with concealed impact
- Bathroom or utility wing extensions for comfort and convenience
- Detached studios or ADUs that mirror the original MCM aesthetic
Each project begins with a deep dive into your home’s original design—from roof pitch to window rhythm—so that the addition feels integrated, not tacked on.

Why Design-Build Is Essential for Mid-Century Additions
Our design-build approach gives you a single team managing both the creative vision and construction details. This is especially critical when working with MCM-era materials like block, exposed wood framing, and steel posts. We coordinate:
- Architectural cohesion
- Permit strategy for historic or unique lots
- Structural integrity tied to post-and-beam construction
- Energy-efficient upgrades that preserve aesthetics
- Creative solutions for zoning and privacy
We speak fluent Mid-Century—and we manage every step of your project from concept to completion.

What Makes a Great Mid-Century Home Addition?
You shouldn’t be able to spot the addition from the street—or feel it from the inside. A great MCM addition:
- Follows the existing roof slope or uses a hidden parapet
- Extends the home’s horizontal flow
- Respects proportions and window placements
- Maintains ceiling continuity (often tongue-and-groove or exposed beams)
- Preserves the openness and light that define the original design
We balance your need for more space with the soul of your original home.
