Remodel the space—or extend it?
Lee Construction offers interior remodeling and home additions for Prosper property owners. The first conversation is about your goals and the existing house. Bring a rough sketch, a few photographs and a list of what currently gets in your way; a finished design is not needed to explain the problem.
Work within the house
Describe the rooms involved and how you want them to function. Identify finishes you want to keep, spaces that must remain usable and any proposed changes to the layout.
Explore interior remodelingAdd to the house
Discuss where the space would go and how it should connect to the existing building. Include the proposed use, access to the yard and any drawings or property survey already available.
Explore home additionsThe roof connection belongs in the first discussion.
An addition is more than a new room in isolation. Ask how the proposed roofline, exterior finishes and connections to existing rooms would be evaluated. If you are also considering roof replacement, raise it before the addition scope is settled.
Tell Joe which decisions are fixed and which are still open. An approximate size can start a conversation, but the proposal needs a defined scope before timing and work sequence can be meaningfully discussed.
Prosper's planning checklist starts with “before” and “after.”
The town's remodel/addition handout calls for construction drawings showing proposed changes. For additions, it also identifies a site plan or survey. The exact documents depend on the project, so bring existing plans and ask what must be prepared for yours.
Prosper publishes separate guidance for attached and detached pergolas and patio covers. An outdoor structure and an enclosed room should not be treated as the same application.
Prosper remodel/addition submittal guide Find the town's project-specific handoutsA useful starting brief has three parts.
- What should life feel like afterward?
- Describe the everyday activity the space needs to support, not just the number of rooms.
- What needs to keep working during the project?
- List household access, occupied rooms and any schedule restrictions you want considered.
- What information do you already have?
- Bring surveys, drawings and written association requirements if available. Identify what still needs confirmation rather than treating a sketch as an approved plan.
Prosper project questions.
Can I discuss an addition before I have finished plans?
Yes. Start by explaining the intended use and sharing any existing drawings or survey. Joe can discuss the project and the next planning steps; construction scope and required documents still need to be established.
Is a pergola treated like an enclosed addition in Prosper?
The town publishes separate submittal guidance for additions and for attached or detached outdoor structures. Use the handout matching the actual proposal and confirm the appropriate category with town staff.
Can the existing roof be part of the same conversation?
Yes. Tell Joe if you are considering roof repairs or replacement alongside the addition. Review the existing-roof work and the new construction connection as distinct parts of the proposed scope.
