Your neighborhood is your community. Your neighbors are friends, the schools are familiar, and your commute is perfect. But as families grow, space often shrinks. At Passarelli Builders & Design, we believe you shouldn’t have to move to find the room you need. We specialize in large-scale home additions and complex structural transformations that allow you to expand your footprint while staying exactly where you belong.
From adding an entire second level to extending your home into the backyard, we provide the architectural insight and construction expertise required to make your “new” home feel like it was always meant to be there.
When you can’t build out, we build up. A second-story addition is one of the most effective ways to double your square footage without sacrificing your yard. Whether you need additional bedrooms, a dedicated home office, or a primary suite retreat, our team handles the complex structural engineering required to ensure your home’s foundation and first-floor walls are reinforced to support the new level safely and seamlessly.
Expand your living area, create a chef-inspired kitchen, or add a spacious great room with a custom home extension. We design rear and side additions that flow naturally from your existing floor plan. Our goal is to match your home’s original architecture, siding, and rooflines so perfectly that the addition is indistinguishable from the original structure.
Modern living often requires moving more than just furniture—it requires moving walls. If you are looking to create an open-concept layout, we specialize in the heavy construction aspects of structural transformations. This includes installing load-bearing beams, removing restrictive walls, and reconfiguring the “bones” of your home to create the sightlines and flow your family desires.
A large-scale addition is a significant undertaking, but it shouldn’t be a source of stress. Passarelli Builders takes the lead on the most challenging aspects of heavy construction, so you don’t have to.
We bridge the gap between your vision and the local building department. Our team coordinates with architects to ensure plans are structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. We handle the entire permitting process in Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and surrounding municipalities, ensuring every aspect of your project is code-compliant and approved.
We understand that you are often living in your home while we are working on it. We take extraordinary measures to minimize the impact of construction on your family. This includes strict dust-containment protocols, maintaining a clean and organized job site every day, and providing clear schedules so you always know what to expect.
The longevity of an addition depends on what you can’t see. We prioritize structural integrity above all else, using premium materials and proven framing techniques. Our master carpenters oversee every structural connection, ensuring your new space is energy-efficient, quiet, and built to last for decades.
Don’t let a lack of space force a move. Let’s discuss how a custom addition can transform your current house into your forever home.
