Licensed & insured additions built to last — serving homeowners across Putnam County and surrounding areas.
VPD Contracting is a licensed and insured contractor based in Stormville, NY, with over 29 years of experience helping homeowners expand and improve the places they live. We've built everything from modest single-room additions to full second-story expansions, and everything in between, including kitchen extensions, garage conversions, sunrooms, and in-law suites.
Every home is different. So is every family. Some clients come to us because they've outgrown their space after having kids. Others are planning ahead for aging parents or finally building the home office they've needed for years. Whatever the reason, we approach every project the same way, by listening first, planning carefully, and building to a standard we'd be comfortable putting our own name on.
A home addition is one of the more significant investments a homeowner can make. It changes how you live in your space, affects your property's long-term value, and requires trusting a contractor to work on the most important asset you own. We don't take that lightly.
We build home additions of every type and size. Whether you need a single room or a complete structural expansion, VPD Contracting manages the project from design through certificate of occupancy.
A dedicated bedroom addition is one of the most common requests we receive from growing families and homeowners planning to age in place. We extend your home’s footprint, match your existing exterior, and deliver a fully integrated living space.
When your kitchen is simply too small for how you live, a kitchen addition transforms both function and resale value. We handle structural work, plumbing rough-in, electrical, insulation, and all finish work.
Adding a bathroom, whether a half bath off a mudroom, a primary en-suite, or an accessibility-focused bath for aging in place, increases comfort and significantly boosts property value.
Putnam County’s four-season landscape makes a sunroom addition a popular choice. We build three-season and four-season sunrooms designed to handle Hudson Valley winters.
Whether you need an attached garage, a detached structure, or a garage-to-living-space conversion, VPD Contracting manages the full scope including foundation, framing, utilities, and finished interiors.
A second-story addition doubles your living space without reducing your yard. This is one of the more complex addition types, requiring careful structural assessment of the existing foundation.
We believe homeowners should understand exactly what happens before a single wall is opened. Here is how VPD Contracting manages every home addition project:
We visit your property, assess your goals, review zoning and setback requirements, and identify any site-specific constraints.
We develop detailed plans, review structural requirements, and create a clear project scope with transparent pricing.
We handle all permit applications with Putnam County and local municipalities including Carmel, Brewster, and Patterson.
All additions begin with a proper foundation assessment and, where needed, reinforcement of the existing structure.
Framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-in are completed by licensed trade professionals.
Drywall, flooring, trim, painting, and all finish carpentry are completed to match your existing home’s character.
We coordinate all final inspections and deliver a fully permitted, code-compliant addition.

With inventory tight and property values rising across Carmel, Mahopac, and Brewster, many Putnam County homeowners are choosing to expand rather than sell. A well-executed home addition typically returns 60–80% of its cost in property value, while letting you stay in the neighbourhood, schools, and community you already love.
Moving costs, real estate commissions, transfer taxes, higher mortgage rates, and the disruption of relocation can easily exceed the cost of a thoughtfully designed addition. VPD Contracting helps you model both options so you can make the decision that’s right for your family.
| Factor | Home Addition | Moving |
|---|---|---|
| Disruption | Temporary construction | Full relocation |
| Cost (avg.) | $80K–$300K+ | $30K–$60K in transaction costs |
| Property Value | Increases with addition | Market-dependent |
| Timeline | 3–6 months avg. | 60–90+ days to close |
| School District | No change | Possible change |
| Neighbourhood | No change | Possible change |
