Home Additions in Southern Maryland
you’ve put down. But life changes. Your family grows, your needs evolve, and suddenly the walls start to feel a little closer than they used to. The thought of packing up and moving is overwhelming, expensive, and means leaving a place you’ve worked so hard to make your own.
What if you could get the space you desperately need without giving up the home you love?
For over 30 years, DiPietri Contractors Inc. has helped homeowners across Southern Maryland do just that. As a family-owned and operated company, we understand that a home addition is more than just lumber and drywall—it’s an investment in your family’s future, comfort, and happiness.

Your Home, Reimagined: The Space You Need, The Quality You Deserve

Luxurious Master Suites
Escape the daily chaos in a peaceful, private master suite. We can expand your home to include a spacious bedroom, a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, and custom walk-in closets. It’s your personal sanctuary, designed just for you.
Private In-Law Apartments & ADUs
Keep your family close while giving everyone their own space. We design and build comfortable, self-contained in-law suites and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), complete with a private entrance, kitchenette, and accessible bathroom. It’s the perfect solution for multi-generational living.
Spacious Kitchen & Family Room Expansions
Is your kitchen the heart of your home, but too cramped for comfort? We can expand your kitchen and family room to create an open-concept space perfect for entertaining, family gatherings, and everyday life. Imagine a large island, ample storage, and a layout that flows effortlessly.
Functional Second-Story Additions
Add significant square footage without sacrificing your yard. A second-story addition is an ideal way to add multiple bedrooms, a bathroom, and a playroom for a growing family. We handle the complex structural engineering to ensure your new level is safe, sound, and perfectly integrated.
Seamless Garage Extensions

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Additions
How long does a typical home addition take to build?
A smaller, single-room addition will typically move more quickly than a multi-room or second-story expansion. Factors such as design requirements, permitting, material availability, and weather conditions can all influence the pace of construction. At DiPietri Contractors, we provide a clear, detailed project schedule upfront—so you know exactly what to expect every step of the way.
How do you ensure the new addition matches my existing home?
Seamless integration is our top priority. Our design process involves carefully matching architectural styles, rooflines, and exterior materials like siding and trim. We source materials to complement your current home and ensure the interior flow feels natural and cohesive, making the new space feel like it was always there.
What are the first steps to starting a home addition project?
The first step is a consultation to discuss your goals, needs, and budget. We'll assess your property's feasibility for an addition and explore design possibilities. From there, we move to preliminary designs and a detailed, transparent cost estimate, giving you all the information you need to make a confident decision.
Can I live in my house during the construction?
In most cases, yes. Our team takes great care to minimize disruption to your daily life. We establish designated work zones, use protective coverings to control dust and debris, and maintain a clean and organized site. We communicate clearly about any necessary, temporary interruptions to utilities to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
Is a home addition a good investment in Southern Maryland?
Yes, a well-designed home addition is generally an excellent investment. It not only improves your quality of life but can also significantly increase your property's resale value by adding valuable square footage and modern amenities. Kitchen, bathroom, and master suite additions typically offer the highest return on investment in the Maryland market.
