Home Additions & ADUs in Midlothian

Space is the reason a lot of families choose Midlothian in the first place — and the reason many of them add on instead of move. The acreage neighborhoods around town — Oak Creek Ranch, Crystal Forest Estates, Hidden Lakes on Mockingbird, West Highland Estates, and the older Mockingbird tracts — sit on oversized and acreage lots with genuine room for a detached guest house, a garage apartment, or a second living wing. Newer communities like Hayes Crossing, Dove Creek, and MidTowne have the yard depth for a bumped-out primary suite or a real family room. Either way, an addition keeps you in your neighborhood and school zone while giving you the square footage you're missing.

Additions and accessory dwellings, done right

We design and build room additions, second stories, primary-suite and kitchen expansions, garage conversions, and detached ADUs — the guest quarters, in-law suites, and rental-ready casitas that big Midlothian lots are made for. A true addition is harder than it looks: the new foundation has to move with the old one on this Blackland Prairie clay, the roofline has to tie in cleanly, and the extra load on HVAC, electrical, and plumbing has to be planned, not bolted on. We engineer the connection, match existing brick and rooflines so the addition reads as original, and bring in state-licensed electricians and plumbers for the systems work.

The Midlothian permit path

Detached ADUs and additions are firmly in permit-and-inspection territory here, and the city runs a tight process. Before we can pull anything, we register as a contractor with Midlothian — a free registration completed in person, by email, by fax, or through the MyGov portal at public.mygov.us/midlothian_tx, which is a local requirement on top of, not instead of, state trade licensing. Plans and permits then go through the Building Inspections Department in Development Services at City Hall, 215 N. 8th Street, and we confirm setbacks, easements, and whether your lot is zoned to Midlothian or Waxahachie ISD before we design to the property line.

The Remo Guys work Midlothian from our Allen studio, about 55 miles north — no local office, but a dedicated project lead, a fixed scope and schedule, and full insured-and-bonded coverage. If your house is right but too small, adding on is almost always the smarter move than starting over.
