Expand your home. Worth it.
Your family has outgrown your space, but you love where you live. We design and build home additions that feel like they’ve always been part of your house, crafted specifically for Michigan’s climate and your community’s character.
More space without leaving the life you’ve built
Moving to a larger home means uprooting everything: your commute, your kids’ schools, your neighbors who’ve become friends. A thoughtfully designed addition delivers the square footage you need while keeping everything else exactly where it belongs.
Whether you’re planning an in-law suite for aging parents, a second-story addition for growing teenagers, or a sunroom to capture Michigan’s beautiful seasons, Wright’s Renovations brings the expertise to make your vision feel inevitable rather than added-on. Our design-build approach means one team handles everything from architectural drawings to final walkthrough, eliminating the coordination headaches that plague traditional construction projects.

In-law suites & ADUs
Multi-generational living is reshaping how Michigan families think about home. Whether you’re welcoming aging parents or creating a private guest quarters, an accessory dwelling unit provides independence and proximity in perfect balance. We navigate the varying ADU regulations across Washtenaw, Wayne, and Oakland counties so your project moves forward smoothly. Complete with private entrance, kitchenette, full bathroom, and living space, your in-law suite becomes a true home within your home.
Second-story additions
When your lot can’t expand outward, we build upward. Second-story additions double your living space without sacrificing yard, and our structural engineers ensure your existing foundation handles the load safely. Perfect for adding bedrooms, a home theater, or a primary suite above the garage.
Sunrooms & conservatories
Michigan’s seasons deserve a front-row seat. Our four-season sunrooms feature climate-zone-appropriate insulation and efficient HVAC integration so you enjoy panoramic views year-round. We also build three-season screened porches for budget-conscious projects.
Room additions
Need a new bedroom, expanded family room, or dedicated home office? Single-room home additions offer targeted solutions for specific space needs. We match rooflines, siding, and architectural details so your addition looks original to the home.
Garage additions
Attached or detached, single or multi-car: our garage additions protect your vehicles from Michigan winters while adding valuable storage and potential bonus room space above. We handle everything from foundation to finished drywall.
Mudrooms & entryways
Essential for Michigan living. A dedicated mudroom keeps snow, salt, and wet boots contained while adding crucial storage for coats, backpacks, and sports gear. We design built-in benches, cubbies, and heated flooring to make entry a pleasure.
Loft conversions
Transform unused attic space into functional living area. Loft conversions add bedrooms, home gyms, or creative studios without changing your home’s footprint. We add dormers for headroom and egress windows for code compliance.
Bonus rooms
The flex space every family needs. Build a bonus room above your garage for a playroom that converts to a teen hangout, a guest suite, or that dedicated home wellness room you’ve been dreaming about.
Detached studios
Separate your work from your life. A detached studio or workspace provides the professional environment remote workers crave without sacrificing household space. Art studios, writing retreats, and small business offices thrive in these purpose-built structures.
Built for Michigan’s unique conditions
Out-of-state contractors and inexperienced builders miss critical details that Michigan’s climate demands. We’ve spent years mastering the technical requirements that protect your addition investment for decades.
42-inch frost line compliance
Michigan footings must extend 42 inches below grade, deeper than many neighboring states. Every foundation we pour meets this critical requirement to prevent costly frost heave damage.
Climate Zone 5-6 insulation
We exceed minimum R-values with R-49 ceiling, R-20 wall, and R-30 floor insulation, ensuring your addition stays comfortable through sub-zero winters and humid summers.
Multi-county permit expertise
From Ann Arbor’s historic district requirements to Northville’s architectural review board, we navigate the varying regulations across Washtenaw, Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, and Monroe counties.
Weather-resistant materials
We select siding, roofing, and fenestration specifically rated for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring your addition weathers decades of lake-effect snow and spring storms.

Every project represents a family trusting us with their home. Here’s how we’ve delivered on that trust.
We needed space for my mother to live with us, but wanted her to have independence. Connor and Katherine designed an in-law suite that feels like a separate apartment while keeping her close. The project finished two days early, and the quality exceeded our expectations.
The daily photos and project portal were game-changers. We could check progress from work, and the budget tracker meant no surprises. Our sunroom now connects our kitchen to the backyard in a way that’s transformed how we live. Best investment we’ve made in this house.
With three kids, we desperately needed a second story but were terrified of the disruption. Wright’s planned everything so we could stay in our home throughout construction. The new bedrooms look like they’ve always been there—guests can’t tell where the original house ends.
