A home addition in Farmers Branch typically runs $120,000 to $400,000, depending on square footage, whether you build out on the slab or add a second story, and how much of the existing 1950s-60s structure has to be opened up and reframed. Permits for the work are issued by the City of Farmers Branch Building Inspection Division (under the city’s Community Services Department), with applications submitted through the city’s online Citizen Self Service portal. A major city-specific cost driver here is the age and construction of the original house: most Farmers Branch homes are 60-70+ years old, so tying a new addition into existing mid-century framing, foundation, and dated electrical and plumbing often requires structural reinforcement and system upgrades that newer suburbs don’t. Built-out lots and mature trees can also limit where you can expand. UHS works on a fixed-price model with a 3-year workmanship warranty, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.

Farmers Branch sits in northwestern Dallas County, about 12 miles north of downtown, and most of its single-family homes were built during the 1950s-60s GI Bill boom. That means the typical Farmers Branch house is a 60-70+ year-old mid-century ranch or a true Mid-Century Modern home: long, low, horizontal forms on flat lots, with smaller closed-off rooms and tight footprints that simply weren’t designed for how families live today. A home addition is often the smartest answer here. Rather than leaving a beloved Brookhaven, Branch Crossing, or Valwood Park neighborhood, homeowners expand outward or upward to gain a primary suite, a larger kitchen-and-family great room, a home office, or a second story. UHS Remodeling has completed 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014, building additions that respect a mid-century home’s lines while doubling its livable space.
We build home additions across Farmers Branch, including Brookhaven and the Brookhaven Country Club area, Branch Crossing, Valwood Park, Mustang Crossing, Farmington Park Estates, and Johnston Park.
