Home Additions for Green Homeowners
Green additions are suburban additions. The house is a colonial from 1994 or 2002 on a third of an acre to half an acre off Boettler, Steese or Massillon Road, and the family has outgrown the plan: a first-floor master for a parent moving in, a real family room, a mudroom off the garage, a kitchen that needs six more feet. There is usually room to build out on the ground, and the city setback decides how far.
Two things about Green make the permit different. First, it is two offices in order: a zoning permit from the City of Green at 1755 Town Park Boulevard, then the building permit and inspections from the Summit County Department of Building Standards. Second, on a septic lot, the Summit County Health Department has to assess the septic system before the county will issue the building permit for an addition. On the newer subdivisions on city sewer that step does not exist. On the older lots near Portage Lakes it does, and it comes first.
Joseph Evans runs every addition from the shop in Uniontown, three miles east, in Stark County. The price of an addition comes out of the plans, so the first paid step is the design, and that fee is on our main additions page.

What a Green addition runs into
The setback, first, because a subdivision lot has less slack than it looks like it has once the driveway and the easement are drawn. Then the tie-in to a nineties house: vinyl siding that has faded for twenty-five years and will not match new vinyl, which is often the moment the whole house gets re-sided; a truss roof, which changes how the new roof meets the old one; and a furnace and panel that were sized for the house as built. The frost footer goes below the freeze line in the clay under this part of Summit County. On a septic lot the leach field decides which side of the house is even possible, and the county health assessment is the first appointment on the calendar. A bump-out of a few feet off the kitchen avoids most of the foundation and roof cost, and we tell you where the line sits between that and a full addition.
Common Questions
Home Additions Questions from Green Homeowners
Straightforward answers to what homeowners in the Green area ask us most often.
No honest number before plans, so the first paid step is the design, and what that costs is on our home additions page. On a Green subdivision lot the design's first job is the setback and, if you are on septic, the county health assessment.
On a septic lot, yes. The Summit County Health Department assesses the system before the county will issue a building permit for any residential addition. On city sewer, no. We find out which you are on during the discovery call.
It attaches to a house that exists. Footer below frost, a roof tie-in to a truss roof, siding that matches faded vinyl, a furnace and panel that were never sized for the new rooms. Green homeowners hear it on the first call.
We do. Zoning permit through the City of Green Zoning Division at 1755 Town Park Boulevard, building permit and inspections through the Summit County Department of Building Standards, septic assessment through the Summit County Health Department where it applies. Every trade reports to us, and you get an update every Tuesday and Friday.
A first-floor master suite or a family room built out on the nineties and two-thousands colonials, and a kitchen bump-out where the lot is tighter than it looks.
A bump-out of a few feet skips most of the foundation and roof cost and often stays inside the setback where a full addition would not. Past a certain size it stops making sense, and we tell you where that line is for your house.
An addition usually means a new bathroom or a bigger kitchen inside it. We also do bathroom remodeling in Green, kitchen remodeling in Green, and basement finishing in Green.
