Top 5 Home Additions Companies in Naperville, IL
Building with confidence: See how Naperville’s 5 leading home addition companies compare on craftsmanship, design, warranties, and local expertise.
A home addition is one of the highest-stakes projects a Naperville homeowner can take on. Get the design wrong and it looks bolted onto the house forever.
Get the structure wrong and you’re looking at problems no fresh paint can fix.
That’s especially true in established neighborhoods near downtown Naperville and the Riverwalk, where additions have to respect both local building codes and the architectural character of the block. We’ve gathered the companies genuinely building additions here, starting with our own home additions work, so you can weigh real options against real track records.
1. Silhouette Builders
We’re upfront about why we lead this list: Naperville is where we build every week, and home additions sit right alongside our basement and kitchen work. Josh and the Silhouette team run a full design-build process, meaning the same people who draw your 3D renderings pull the permits and manage every trade through completion.
That single-team structure matters most on additions, where the new construction has to tie seamlessly into your existing roofline, framing, and utilities. You get one accountable crew, tracked through our online portal, backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty and full plan sets before anything breaks ground.
We’re licensed and insured, and we’ve built a reputation across Naperville and the surrounding suburbs for showing up every day of the week until the project is genuinely finished.
What Homeowners in Naperville Say About Us
Nicole Burrows
Josh and his team did an amazing job renovating our basement. He did a great job helping us make our vision become a reality, with great communication and listening to what we were looking for.
He was very clear in communication regarding scheduling and any cost adjustments along the way. His sub-contractors were fantastic to work with as well. We couldn’t be happier with the results, and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Josh and his team remodeled my basement! They did an amazing job, made sure everything was top-notch and perfect.
He even did a custom nook under my staircase for me, which everyone loves! Before he left he made sure I was satisfied with everything. Highly recommend Silhouette Builders.
2. Bradford & Kent
Bradford & Kent has spent more than three decades building additions, kitchens, and baths across Naperville and the western suburbs. Their addition work spans everything from a single extra bedroom to full second-story additions and sunrooms, with an in-house team of designers and construction managers carrying each project from concept through completion.
What stands out in their client feedback is how often people mention the addition looking like it was part of the original house.
That’s the real test of addition work, since a poorly integrated add-on is obvious from the street and from inside. Bradford & Kent also carries top window and siding brands like Pella, Andersen, and James Hardie, useful when an addition needs the exterior to match seamlessly.
Based in Downers Grove and serving Naperville directly, they’ve built a long client list who return for repeat projects.

3. Redstart Construction
Redstart was founded in 2005 by lifelong Naperville resident Chad Mease, and additions are a genuine specialty rather than an afterthought. The company has won multiple National Homebuilders Association Icon Awards of Excellence specifically in the addition category, across different project sizes, which is a meaningful credential in a field where plenty of contractors claim addition expertise without the track record to back it up.
Their design-build approach keeps architecture, permitting, and construction under one roof, and the company has picked up national recognition including a NARI CotY award and multiple Master Design Awards for whole-house and kitchen work.
Redstart tends to take on larger, more complex additions and whole-house projects, so they’re a strong fit for homeowners planning a significant expansion rather than a small bump-out.

4. Reliable Home Improvement
Founded in 1967 and still family-run today under the Ducato family, Reliable Home Improvement has over 55 years of history building additions, kitchens, and basements across Naperville. Few contractors in the area can match that tenure, and the company has won Naperville Magazine’s Best of Naperville Remodeler award across multiple recent years.
Their addition work includes second-story additions and full new levels, supported by an in-house team of designers, builders, and licensed architects. A 15,000 square foot showroom lets clients see real kitchen and bath displays before committing to materials, which is a nice touch for additions that include finished living space.
As a large, established operation, Reliable brings serious institutional depth, though it’s worth having a direct conversation about which superintendent will be assigned to your specific project.

5. C.A. Stevens Builders
C.A. Stevens has operated in the Naperville area since 1988, offering both one and two-story room additions as well as full second-story additions. Owner Chuck Stevens leads a team that also handles kitchen and bathroom remodeling, giving the company range when an addition project overlaps with interior renovation elsewhere in the home.
The company positions itself around affordability without cutting corners on materials or workmanship, aiming to keep additions within budget while still meeting the architectural character of established Naperville neighborhoods.
Room to Grow Without the Moving Truck
Every company on this list brings genuine experience to an addition project. But only one of them keeps your entire build under one accountable in-house team, backs the work with a 5-year workmanship warranty, and has built its name right here in Naperville and the surrounding suburbs.
