A Historic Raleigh Home, Reimagined
- Home Built: 1998
- Location: Raleigh, NC
- Scope: Home Addition
- Design-Build Team: CQC Home
Nestled within one of Raleigh’s established Inner Beltline neighborhoods, this traditional white brick home already carried timeless character and quiet elegance before CQC Home stepped in to expand the space with a carefully integrated addition. Our design-build team approached the project with a focus on preserving the original architecture while creating new living space that felt completely natural to the home itself.
The addition introduced a new garage and upper-level guest suite designed to blend seamlessly into the existing structure rather than compete with it. Matching rooflines, masonry details, window proportions, and exterior finishes allowed the expansion to feel original to the property, while updated landscaping, warm lighting, and refined craftsmanship brought a renewed sense of luxury and functionality to the home.

Common Questions About Home Additions & ADUs With CQC Home
How long does a home addition or ADU project typically take?
The timeline for a home addition or ADU depends on the size of the project, the level of customization, and the scope of construction involved. Because these projects often include structural work, permitting, utilities, and full interior finishes, timelines can vary significantly. During the planning phase, our team provides a detailed project schedule so you understand what to expect from design through final construction.
What is the advantage of working with a design-build firm like CQC Home?
Working with a design-build firm means your addition or ADU is managed under one experienced team from concept through construction. Design, planning, permitting, budgeting, and construction all stay connected throughout the process, helping create a smoother and more organized experience. At CQC Home, we focus on building spaces that feel cohesive with the existing home while maintaining clear communication from beginning to end.
Do you help with selecting finishes, fixtures, and materials?
Yes. Our team guides homeowners through the entire selection process to ensure the new addition or ADU feels connected to the rest of the home while still reflecting your personal style. From flooring and cabinetry to lighting, countertops, fixtures, and exterior materials, we help coordinate every detail so the finished space feels cohesive, functional, and thoughtfully designed.
Will I be able to stay in my home during the construction process?
In many cases, homeowners are able to remain in their home during the construction of an addition or ADU, depending on the scope and location of the project. Our team works carefully to keep the site organized and minimize disruption wherever possible. Before construction begins, we walk you through the project timeline and explain what to expect throughout each phase of construction.
Do you handle permits and inspections for additions and ADUs in Raleigh?
Yes. CQC Home manages the permitting and inspection process required for home additions and ADUs in Raleigh and surrounding areas. These projects often involve zoning review, structural approvals, electrical, plumbing, and other municipal requirements. Our team coordinates directly with local departments and inspectors to help ensure the project progresses smoothly and meets current building standards.
How involved will I be in the design process?
We believe the best additions and ADUs are designed around the way homeowners actually live. Clients are involved throughout the design process, from discussing layout ideas and functionality to reviewing finishes, architectural details, and overall flow. Our role is to guide the process while helping create a space that feels natural, comfortable, and fully connected to your home and lifestyle.
What makes a CQC Home addition or ADU different?
