Room additions, second stories, and attached or detached garages, matched to the house that is already there.
Latrobe and the surrounding Unity Township give us two kinds of work: additions and garages on the older city streets, and pole buildings, custom homes, and commercial projects on the rural land outside town. We have been doing custom home additions and garages here since 2015, and the same project manager runs your job from the first site visit to the final inspection.

Custom Home Additions & Garages Built for Latrobe Properties
A few things come up again and again on Latrobe jobs: older city homes on stone foundations that need a look before an addition, and rural Unity properties on well and septic that need utility locates. We plan for both before we price the work, and we know what the local building department wants to see on a permit application, which keeps the review from dragging on.
Common challenges we address here
- Older city homes on stone foundations that need a look before an addition
- Rural Unity properties on well and septic that need utility locates
- Lots that slope toward the Loyalhanna and need drainage planning
Seasonal Considerations
Latrobe gets more snow than the communities closer to Pittsburgh, and the spring thaw saturates rural soils. Pads and foundations go in best once things dry out in late spring.

What Latrobe Customers Say
JP Construction built our two-car garage from the ground up and it came out better than we imagined. They pulled all the permits, kept us informed throughout, and finished on schedule. Quality workmanship and zero headaches.
We added a master suite and laundry room to our 1980s colonial. JP Construction matched the roofline and exterior perfectly, and neighbors have asked us if the house was always that size. Their crew was on-site consistently and that level of involvement made all the difference.
Getting permits for our older home was intimidating, but JP Construction navigated the whole process without any delays. The addition came out exactly as designed. Honest pricing, clear communication, real craftsmanship.
