1. If you have done this to your home were you pleased with the results and glad you did it?
2. Approximately how long did it take?
3. If you were pleased with the results which company did you use and would you recommend them?
Thanks for any help.

We added on about 500 square feet, primarily because we have a great view and did not to purchase a different house. It took 3-4 months for the permits alone. ARC plus county and several progess inspections. Another 6 months before the job was finished. We used a mini-split for the heating and air. Needed no plumbing. There was also a dumpster in our driveway for over 4 months. And a porta-potty. Get yourself prepared for all that.
The biggest issue is that all the sub contractors were very busy so scheduling their time in the right sequence on a timely basis was a challenge for the contractor.
I'm sure this wasn't the cheapest way but we got what we wanted.
