Craft over volume, with one accountable team from design to final inspection.

Home Additions in Durham

Durham’s established neighborhoods are full of homes worth adding to rather than leaving. Forge designs and builds the full range of home additions for Durham homeowners: second-story additions that add a floor without sacrificing the yard, in-law suites and ADUs for multi-generational living, room additions and bump-outs, and whole-home expansions. Every addition is engineered from the foundation up and matched to the character of homes in Hope Valley, Forest Hills, and Trinity Park, with Durham County permitting handled start to finish. Explore our Durham home additions.

Screened Porches & Outdoor Living in Durham

Durham’s long, warm seasons and wooded lots make outdoor living space one of the most-used parts of the home. Forge builds custom screened porches with real structure and matched rooflines, three-season rooms that stretch the season further, pergolas, and complete outdoor living areas designed for how Durham families entertain and relax. On shaded lots near Duke Forest and across Durham’s established neighborhoods, a well-built porch turns the best part of the property into a true living room. Explore our Durham screened porches and outdoor living.

Siding in Durham

From historic homes near Duke to newer builds around Southpoint, Durham exteriors take a beating from Piedmont heat, humidity, and storms. Forge installs James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and authentic cedar shake siding, each matched to the home’s architecture and installed with the flashing and moisture detailing that keep water out for good. For Durham’s older homes, a siding replacement is often the single most transformative exterior investment. Explore our Durham siding.

Roofing in Durham

Durham’s established homes and mature tree canopy make quality roofing essential: falling limbs, held moisture, and Piedmont storms are hard on a roof. Forge installs and replaces roofs across Durham, from architectural shingle to premium standing seam metal and synthetic slate, with meticulous flashing and detailing built to protect the home for decades. We also handle storm damage documentation and insurance restoration when weather strikes. Explore our Durham roofing.

Why Do Durham's Established Homes Deserve a Craft-First Builder?

Many of Durham’s most desirable homes were built decades ago, with character and craftsmanship worth investing in. That is exactly the work Forge specializes in: additions and exteriors that look original, not bolted on. In Durham we build:

  • Home additions, second stories, in-law suites, and ADUs
  • Screened porches, three-season rooms, and pergolas
  • James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and cedar shake siding
  • Roof replacement, standing seam metal, and synthetic slate
  • Outdoor living spaces, patios, and whole-home renovations

Every project is permitted through Durham County, managed by one accountable team, and built to the standard these neighborhoods deserve.
