As Central Texas continues to grow in 2026, many homeowners in areas like Lago Vista, Leander, Georgetown, and the Hill Country are outgrowing their current spaces. Instead of moving, a well-planned home addition offers the perfect solution—adding square footage tailored to your needs without leaving the neighborhood you love.
At AC Cornerstone Building, a veteran-led team with over 50 years of combined experience, we specialize in seamless home additions that blend with your existing structure while enhancing functionality and value. From family rooms to master suites, here’s why additions are a smart choice this year.
Popular Home Addition Ideas for Central Texas Living
Home additions come in all sizes, but these are trending in our region:
- Family Room or Sunroom Extensions → Create open, light-filled spaces for gatherings with views of lakes or hills.
- Kitchen Expansions → Bump out for larger islands, pantries, or breakfast nooks—ideal for Texas entertaining.
- Master Suite Additions → Private retreats with walk-in closets, luxury baths, and outdoor access.
- Outdoor Living Additions → Covered patios, kitchens, or pergolas that extend your home into the beautiful Texas outdoors.
We design additions to match your home’s architecture—whether modern Hill Country or classic Texas ranch—for a cohesive look.
Costs, ROI, and What to Expect in 2026
Addition costs vary by size and complexity:
- Small bump-outs (e.g., kitchen expansion): $150–$250 per sq ft
- Larger rooms/suites (400–800 sq ft): $200–$350 per sq ft
- Average 500 sq ft addition: $100,000–$175,000
Factors like foundation type (sloped lots common here), permits, and utilities impact pricing. Recent data shows strong ROI—family room additions recoup 50–70%, while suites or outdoor spaces often higher in lifestyle-driven markets.
Timelines: 2-4 months, depending on scope and approvals.
