FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What parts of a new home or addition does PLJ build?

PLJ handles framing, sheathing, roofing, windows, siding and trim, coordinating with your builder or architect from the foundation hand-off to the finished exterior.

Does PLJ build ADUs (accessory dwelling units)?

Yes. PLJ frames and finishes ADUs, including detached units and units added to an existing home. Local zoning and permit rules apply, and we work with your designer to plan around them.

Can PLJ add a dormer or a second story to my home?

Yes. Dormers and second story additions are a common way to add space to Cape style homes. We check the existing structure, frame the addition, and finish the roof, siding and trim to match.

Do I need an architect for an addition?

Most additions need stamped or detailed drawings for the building permit. If you do not have a designer yet, ask PLJ during the estimate visit and we will explain what the permit will require.

Does PLJ build garages?

Yes. PLJ frames and finishes detached and attached garages, with roofing, siding and trim that match the house.
