Room Addition
Room Addition Services in Shawnee, Overland Park & Leawood, KS
Room additions allow homeowners to expand their living space without relocating, providing added square footage that integrates seamlessly with the existing structure. These projects require detailed planning, structural coordination, and system integration to ensure the new space functions as part of the original home. RKO Remodeling LLC provides professional room addition services throughout Shawnee, Overland Park, and Leawood, KS, delivering additions built for structural stability and long-term usability.
Unlike interior remodels, room additions impact the home’s footprint, foundation, exterior envelope, and roofing systems. Proper construction ensures that the added space aligns structurally and visually with the existing residence. RKO Remodeling LLC approaches room additions with a construction-focused process that prioritizes durability, code compliance, and cohesive integration.
Room Addition Planning and Structural Evaluation
Every room addition project begins with a detailed evaluation of the existing home and property. This step ensures the addition can be constructed safely and efficiently.
Structural and Foundation Assessment
The existing foundation, framing, and load-bearing elements are evaluated to determine how the new addition will connect to the home. RKO Remodeling LLC assesses soil conditions and structural capacity before construction begins.
Space Planning and Layout Development
Room additions are designed to support specific uses such as bedrooms, living areas, or expanded common spaces. Layout planning ensures the new room aligns with traffic flow and interior connectivity.
Zoning and Code Considerations
Local zoning requirements, setbacks, and building codes are reviewed during planning. RKO Remodeling LLC develops room addition plans that comply with municipal regulations in Shawnee, Overland Park, and Leawood.
Foundation and Framing Construction
Foundation and framing work form the backbone of a successful room addition. These elements must support the added structure while integrating with the existing home.
New Foundation Construction
Room additions often require new foundations or slab extensions. RKO Remodeling LLC constructs foundations designed to match the home’s structural requirements and support long-term stability.
Wall and Roof Framing Integration
Framing is completed to align with existing wall and roof systems. Proper framing methods ensure the addition ties securely into the home’s structure and maintains consistent rooflines.
Structural Reinforcement and Transitions
Transitions between old and new construction are reinforced to prevent movement or separation. RKO Remodeling LLC ensures framing connections support structural continuity.
Interior Construction and Finish Integration
Once the structure is complete, interior construction brings the new space into functional use. These elements must align with the rest of the home.
Drywall, Insulation, and Interior Walls
Interior walls are insulated and finished to match existing rooms. Proper insulation supports comfort and energy performance in the new addition.
Flooring and Ceiling Installation
Flooring and ceilings are installed to maintain consistent transitions between spaces. RKO Remodeling LLC ensures height and alignment differences are addressed properly.
Interior Trim and Finish Coordination
Trim, doors, and interior finishes are integrated to match the home’s existing design and layout.
Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC Integration
Room additions often require extending or modifying mechanical systems to support the new space. These updates must comply with residential codes.
Electrical System Expansion
Electrical wiring is extended to support lighting, outlets, and fixtures in the new room. RKO Remodeling LLC coordinates electrical integration safely and efficiently.
Plumbing Extensions When Required
Some room additions include plumbing for bathrooms or wet areas. Plumbing systems are installed to support proper drainage and water supply.
Heating and Cooling Integration
HVAC systems are evaluated to determine how the addition will be heated and cooled. Proper integration ensures consistent comfort throughout the home.
Exterior Finishes and Envelope Protection
The exterior of a room addition must protect the home from weather exposure while maintaining a cohesive appearance.
Siding, Stucco, and Masonry Matching
Exterior finishes are selected and installed to align with the home’s existing materials. RKO Remodeling LLC ensures proper attachment and weather resistance.
Roofing and Drainage Coordination
Roofing systems are extended or modified to cover the addition. Flashing and drainage components are installed to manage water flow.

Windows and exterior doors are installed with proper sealing to support energy performance and moisture control.
