Your family's growing. Your needs have changed. Maybe you work from home now and that spare bedroom just isn't cutting it. Whatever the reason, you love your neighborhood and your lot — you just need more space.
A home addition in Central Texas is one of the smartest investments you can make. Instead of uprooting your family and dealing with the cost and stress of buying a new home, you expand the one you already have. And when it's done right — by a licensed, experienced contractor who understands structural integrity, local codes, and design continuity — the result is a home that feels like it was always meant to be this size.
At Prize Oaks, owner Brent Preston has been building room additions in Waco TX and throughout the Central Texas region for more than 15 years. With 200+ completed projects and a reputation built on honest work, Brent is the home expansion contractor families trust when they need to grow.
Types of Home Additions We Build
Every addition project is different. Some homeowners need a single room. Others want to double their square footage. Here's a look at what Prize Oaks handles:
Master Suite Additions
A master suite addition in Texas is one of our most requested projects — and for good reason. Adding a spacious primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet gives you a private retreat without leaving the home you love. We design master suites that match your home's existing architecture, roofline, and finishes so the addition looks intentional, not tacked on.
Second-Story Additions
If your lot doesn't have room to build out, we build up. Second-story additions are a powerful way to add bedrooms, a bonus room, or an entire new living level without expanding your home's footprint. These projects require careful structural engineering, and Prize Oaks has the expertise to handle them safely and correctly.
Garage & Carport Builds
Need a proper garage? Want to convert your carport into an enclosed space? Or add a detached workshop? We build garages and carports that are functional, durable, and visually consistent with your existing home. Concrete foundations, framing, roofing, electrical — we handle every aspect.
Sunrooms & Porch Enclosures
Central Texas weather is beautiful most of the year, and a sunroom or enclosed porch lets you enjoy it without the bugs and the heat. We build fully insulated sunrooms with climate control, as well as screened-in porches that keep things simple. Either way, you're getting a new favorite room in the house.
Home Office & Flex Space Additions
The way we use our homes has changed. If you need a dedicated home office, a school room for the kids, or a multi-purpose flex space, we can add it. These additions are designed for function — proper lighting, electrical capacity, sound insulation, and HVAC integration — so they work as hard as you do.
In-Law Suites & Accessory Dwellings
Keeping family close matters. An in-law suite or accessory dwelling unit gives your parents, adult children, or guests their own private space with a separate entrance, kitchenette, and bathroom — all connected to your property. We handle the design, permitting, and construction from start to finish.
Why Prize Oaks for Your Home Addition
Building an addition isn't like finishing a basement or replacing a countertop. It's new construction attached to an existing structure — and the margin for error is small. Here's what you get with Prize Oaks:
- Structural expertise — We ensure your existing foundation, framing, and roof can support the addition, and we engineer solutions when they can't.
- Seamless design — We match rooflines, siding, trim, and finishes so your addition looks original to the home.
- Permit management — We handle all Central Texas building permits, inspections, and code compliance. You don't have to chase paperwork.
- Transparent pricing — Detailed, itemized estimates with no hidden fees. If something changes, we discuss it before we proceed.
- Direct communication — Brent is your contractor, your project manager, and your main point of contact. One call gets you answers.
Our Process for Room Additions
Step 1: Free On-Site Consultation
We visit your home, evaluate the existing structure, discuss what you need, and talk about what's realistic within your budget and property constraints. This is a no-pressure conversation — we're here to listen and advise.
Step 2: Design & Engineering
We develop plans that integrate your addition with the existing home. This includes architectural design, structural engineering (when needed), and material selections. You'll see exactly what we're building before we start.
Step 3: Permitting & Prep
We pull all necessary permits and coordinate with local inspectors. Site prep, utility connections, and foundation work get the project rolling.
Step 4: Construction & Updates
Framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, finishes — we manage every trade and keep you informed with regular updates and direct access to Brent throughout.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough
We inspect every detail with you. The addition isn't done until you say it's done.
Serving All of Central Texas
Prize Oaks builds home additions across the region, including Moody, Waco, Temple, Killeen, Belton, Hewitt, Woodway, McGregor, Hillsboro, Gatesville, Lorena, and Copperas Cove. Our knowledge of local building codes, soil conditions, and permitting processes across these communities ensures your project moves forward without unnecessary delays.
More Space Without Moving
Moving is expensive, stressful, and uncertain. Interest rates are unpredictable, inventory is tight, and there's no guarantee you'll find a home you love as much as the one you're in. A well-built addition gives you the space you need while increasing your property's value — and you don't have to pack a single box.
With Prize Oaks, you get a home expansion contractor who treats your home like his own. Brent has been building in this community for over 15 years, and every addition is a reflection of that commitment to quality.
