What Affects Room Addition Cost?
- Foundation type: Slab additions cost less than full crawl space or raised foundation
- Utility connections: Running electrical, plumbing, and HVAC from the main home adds $5,000–$20,000
- Roof tying in: Matching existing roof pitch and materials adds complexity
- Finishes: Builder-grade finishes vs. premium (hardwood, quartz countertops, custom tile)
- Permits: San Jose permits for room additions run $3,000–$10,000 depending on project value
Room Addition vs. ADU: Which Is Right for You?
If you need connected living space (master suite, family room), a room addition is the right choice. If you want a separate, rentable unit that generates income, an ADU makes more financial sense. Many homeowners do both — see our guide on ADU vs Room Addition for a detailed comparison.
