Home Additions
Ready Serve Pro builds home additions in Vineland and across South Jersey: second stories, bump-outs, kitchen and family room additions, and primary suites. We handle the foundation, framing, roof tie-in, plumbing, electrical and finish work, and we handle all of the planning and permitting with your township. If you need more room and don't want to move, call (609) 640-4240.
Types of Additions We Build
A new floor on top of the house. You get the space without giving up any yard. The existing walls and foundation have to carry the new load, so the structure gets checked before design starts.
A small addition that pushes one wall out a few feet. Good for a cramped kitchen, a bathroom that needs a bigger shower, or a dining area that needs room for a table.
A single-story addition off the back or side of the house, usually on a new slab or foundation, opened into the existing rooms so it reads as one space.
A bedroom, bathroom and closet added as one wing or one floor. We build the bathroom inside the addition too, so you don't need a second contractor.
How an Addition Runs
We walk the property with you, talk through what you need the space for, and look at what will affect the job: lot size, the existing structure, and where plumbing and electrical can tie in.
Paul designs the interior spaces with you: size, layout and materials. When the township requires them, our architect produces the technical, sealed prints. We handle the zoning review and permit applications with your township.
Foundation or slab, framing, roof, windows and doors, then plumbing, electrical and HVAC, insulation, drywall and finishes.
The township inspector checks the work at set stages before it gets covered up. Work doesn't move past a stage until it passes.
We walk the finished addition with you and handle anything outstanding before the job closes.
Permits and Zoning in New Jersey
Here is how it works in plain terms:
Rules and timing differ from town to town. Ready Serve Pro handles all of the planning and permitting. We check your township's requirements at the start, so the design fits before plans are submitted.
What Drives the Cost of an Addition
These are the things that move the number:
More square footage means more foundation, framing, roofing and finish.
A second story depends on whether the existing structure can carry it. A ground-level addition needs a new slab or foundation.
A kitchen or bathroom in the addition costs more than a bedroom or family room.
Extending the existing system, or adding a separate unit like a ductless mini-split.
Siding, roofline, windows and trim matched to the original as closely as possible.
Cabinets, counters, tile and flooring vary widely.
Design, sealed prints from our architect when the township requires them, and township fees.
How easily equipment and materials can reach the work area.
We give you a written scope of work so you can see what's included before you decide.
Recent Additions
We framed a full second story on top of this home's brick first floor. Upstairs is one large room under a vaulted ceiling, with a wet bar, a fireplace wall and a door out to the deck, plus a full bathroom with a walk-in shower and a freestanding tub. The homeowners got a whole new floor without giving up any yard.
Before
AfterThis was a true new addition: we poured a new concrete slab and built a single-story kitchen and dining addition onto the back of the home. The addition has a vaulted ceiling, French doors to the patio, and siding matched to the house. We reused the old pavers to redo the paver patio. Inside are shaker cabinets, stone counters, a gas cooktop and a double wall oven.

Who Builds It
Ready Serve Pro LLC is based in Vineland. Owner Paul Pierce Sr. was a lead project manager at Amiano and Son Construction. His partner, Israel "Izzy" Maldonado, came from Walker Diving. We're a regular-sized company, not a big outfit, and we put the work first. We're also certified for lead encapsulation, which matters when an addition ties into an older home with painted surfaces.

Home Addition FAQ
Yes. Additions need building permits from your township's construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, and most also need zoning approval. Electrical and plumbing work is inspected too. Ready Serve Pro handles all of the planning and permitting for you.
It depends on the size, the type and how long your township takes to review plans. We give you a schedule once the design and scope are set.
A second story keeps your yard and works when the lot is tight or zoning limits how much of the lot you can cover. A ground-level addition can be simpler when the existing walls and foundation weren't built to carry another floor. We look at both during the consultation.
We match the existing siding, roofline, windows and trim as closely as possible. A perfect match isn't always possible, because the original materials have years of wear and weathering. On our Sewell kitchen addition, we matched the new siding to the existing house and reused the old pavers to redo the patio.
Yes. We do kitchens and bathrooms as part of the addition, so one team handles the whole job. Our Evesham addition includes a full bathroom, and our Sewell addition is a full kitchen.
