Carlson Projects is owner operated with over 20 years of industry experience. You can expect integrity, honesty and professionalism in every job – doing what, when and all we promise to do from your initial estimate to the last project clean up on the job.

"The Carlson Projects Inc was recommended to me by a friend who referenced how they take pride in their work and pay attention to detail. My introduction to the Carlson family went well and the journey began in creating a beautiful bathroom. I was especially grateful to Cody Allen and Shawn Carlson who provided recommendations with color, design and quality products. This 100 year old house had so many secrets and surprises and Cody and Shawn were able to problem solve and work through every obstacle. Shortly after signing the contract for this project the co-vid pandemic hit the community. I was impressed how the Carlson family and crew was able to respect social distancing and still assist me with product selection and ordering the needed materials to keep the project moving. Most important for me is to recognize Cody Allen for over-seeing this project. He was informative, organized, hard working and has great interpersonal communication skills. He kept me updated to the challenges of an old house and sought advise from his peers. I feel he has a great career ahead of him. Thanks to all the Carlson family and crew!!!!! Alan Fulton"

We are a general contractor specializing in residential remodeling & additions as well as small commercial construction or remodeling.

"Great company to work with! I have a daylight walkout basement and wanted a patio cover installed over the entryway. Ken came out and talked to me about my options, and had great suggestions. The company did a great job of communicating with me about when the job would start, how long it would take, etc. I am extremely happy with the results. The entryway is beautiful, and looks like it's part of the house. Several neighbors didn't even realize we had added a cover to the entryway - it looks that much like the house! Very happy with the quality of the work done."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

You can’t add home addition costs to an existing mortgage, but you can include them in a new mortgage if you take out a rehab loan. Rehab loans—FHA-backed 203k loans and conventional rehab loans—are for more than the value of a property, and the excess is meant to cover the cost of a renovation or home addition.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build one from scratch. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run.

Home additions can add significant value to a home by increasing its overall square footage and enhancing a home's functionality and appeal. Key additions such as extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or larger kitchens offer the highest returns on investment. Well-planned additions that seamlessly integrate with the existing structure and match the neighborhood's style can boost curb appeal and market value. However, the actual increase in value depends on the quality of the work, the types of additions, and the current real estate market conditions.

Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
