Your Cary Home Addition Contractor for Space That Matches and Lasts
Forge Construction Group builds custom home additions in Cary, NC, from second stories and in-law suites to whole-home expansions, as a licensed North Carolina general contractor (License #102873). Every addition is engineered to match your home’s structure and style, managed by one accountable team, and built to the standard Cary’s established neighborhoods expect.
Is a Second-Story Addition Right for Your Cary Home?
Building up is often the smartest way to gain square footage in Cary’s established neighborhoods, where lots are defined and setbacks are tight. A second-story addition can double your living space without touching the yard, and done right it looks original to the house: rooflines continued, windows aligned, materials matched. Forge engineers the structure from the foundation up, manages framing, systems, and finish, and keeps your household functioning through the build. Explore our second-story additions.
In-Law Suites & ADUs in Cary
An in-law suite or accessory dwelling unit is one of the highest-value additions a Cary homeowner can build, whether for family or long-term flexibility near the SAS and Research Triangle Park tech corridor. Forge builds attached and detached suites, handling Wake County setbacks, HOA requirements, and code so your project is compliant and inspection-ready. Explore our ADUs and in-law suites.
Whole-Home Additions & Renovations in Cary
When a Cary home needs more than a single room, Forge manages the full transformation: additions, reconfigured layouts, updated systems, and finishes, planned as one project instead of a chain of disconnected trades. That is how a 1990s floor plan becomes a home that works for the next twenty years, without the compromises that creep in when nobody owns the whole picture. Explore our whole-home renovations.

Forge Construction FAQs
Additions are priced by scope: size, whether you build out or up, foundation work, and finish level. Forge focuses on substantial, high-craft projects and provides a detailed, fixed scope after an on-site consultation, so you know the full investment before anything begins.
Almost always both. Cary permitting is thorough, and most established neighborhoods add HOA architectural review on top. Forge manages the full process, plans, permits, HOA submittals, and inspections, so your addition is approved and compliant from footing to final.
Most Cary additions run two to four months from groundbreaking to completion depending on size, foundation, and finish. Forge sets a clear schedule during planning, manages every trade in-house, and keeps your household functioning through the build.
That is the core of how Forge designs. Rooflines, siding, windows, and proportions are matched so the addition reads as original to the house, which matters both for daily living and for resale in Cary’s established neighborhoods.
