Room additions in Bakersfield
A room addition adds new, permitted living space to your house: a bedroom, a bigger living room, a second-storey room. Gabriel Mariscal builds additions in Bakersfield from framing and windows to drywall, flooring and trim, working as the licensed general contractor (CSLB #1027818) responsible for the whole job.

Building an addition for Bakersfield heat
Bakersfield summers regularly run past 100°F, so a new room has to hold its own against the sun. That means paying attention to insulation, window placement and how the addition ties into the existing roof and stucco, so the new space is as comfortable in August as the rest of the house.
Gabriel is based at 5008 Gaylene Ave in southeast Bakersfield and takes room additions jobs across Bakersfield and Kern County.

Room Additions questions
How long does a room addition take?
Most of the timeline depends on plans and permit approval before construction starts. Gabriel gives you a schedule once the plans and the permit scope are clear, rather than guessing at the first visit.
Do I need plans for a room addition?
Yes. A room addition needs drawn plans and a building permit from the City of Bakersfield or Kern County, depending on where your house is.
Will the addition match my house?
That is the goal. Rooflines, stucco and interior finishes are planned to tie into the existing house so the addition does not look bolted on.
