A new room off the side or back of your home, on its own foundation, framed and finished so it looks like it was always there.
Good for a family room, primary suite or home office without moving.
Build up instead of out. We frame a new level over your existing footprint and tie it into the house below, so you keep your yard.
Good for extra bedrooms or a full suite on a tight Newport lot.
Push one wall out a few feet to give a kitchen, bathroom or closet the room it has been missing.
Good when you need more space in one room, not a whole new one.

Additions That Look Like They Were Always There
A home addition is the biggest single project most homeowners take on, and it touches nearly every trade — foundation, framing, roofing, siding, electrical, plumbing, insulation, and finish work. At Coastal Construction Management, we manage all of it under one contract, from the first site visit and zoning check to the final walkthrough.
Our focus is making the new space read as part of the original house. That means matching rooflines, siding profiles, trim details, and floor heights so the addition doesn’t look bolted on — inside or out. On older Newport-area homes, that attention to detail is the difference between an addition that adds value and one that just adds square footage.
Types of Additions
We offer a full range of servicing, diagnostics, and repair work for cars and light commercial vehicles.
Room Addition
A ground-level addition on a new foundation — the most common way to add a family room, primary suite, or larger kitchen. Needs enough lot space to meet setback rules.
Second Story Addition
Builds up instead of out, so it works on tight lots where a ground-level addition won’t fit. The existing framing and foundation must be checked to carry the extra load, and the roof comes off during construction.
Bump-Out
A small extension, often 2 to 8 feet, to enlarge one room — a kitchen, bathroom, or dining area. Faster and less costly than a full addition, sometimes built on a cantilever or small footing.
Sunroom / Four-Season Room
A bright, window-heavy room that brings in natural light. A four-season room is insulated and heated for year-round use; a three-season room is not.
Did You Know?
Most Rhode Island towns set minimum distances (setbacks) between a building and the property lines, plus limits on how much of a lot can be covered. An addition that doesn’t fit those rules needs a zoning variance before a building permit can be issued. And in Newport’s historic districts, exterior changes visible from the street usually need Historic District Commission review first. We check zoning and historic requirements before design starts, so there are no surprises later.
