Custom Home Additions & Garages in Trafford, PA
JP Construction does custom home additions and garages in Trafford and the rest of Westmoreland County. Licensed and insured, with free estimates.
Room additions, second stories, and attached or detached garages, matched to the house that is already there.
Trafford is a small borough on the Westmoreland-Allegheny line with tight lots and older houses. Additions and detached garages make up most of our work here, along with structural repairs on homes that have been added onto before. 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 Trafford Properties
A few things come up again and again on Trafford jobs: small lots that push additions up instead of out, and knob-and-tube or early aluminum wiring that the electrician has to deal with at the tie-in. 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
- Small lots that push additions up instead of out
- Knob-and-tube or early aluminum wiring that the electrician has to deal with at the tie-in
- Alley setbacks that have to be verified before a rear garage goes in
Seasonal Considerations
Trafford's tight lots leave little room for staging materials and equipment, so in winter we plan deliveries carefully and keep the neighbors in the loop about what is coming and when.

What Trafford 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.
