HOME ADDITIONS & NEW SPACES
TURN YOUR home INTO A PERSONAL OASIS
Sometimes your current home no longer fits your lifestyle—and that’s where thoughtful additions and new spaces can make all the difference. Whether you’re dreaming of a larger living area, a private guest suite, a dedicated home office, or the open-concept kitchen you’ve always wanted, Manta Design-Build can help bring that vision to life. A well-designed addition not only expands your home’s functionality but also enhances its comfort, beauty, and long-term value.
Adding onto your home involves many moving parts—layout planning, structural integration, permitting, material selections, and ensuring the new space blends seamlessly with the original architecture. It can feel overwhelming, but with our experienced team guiding the process, it becomes clear, collaborative, and completely manageable.
We encourage you to explore inspiration online and browse our gallery of completed additions to see what’s possible. From the initial concept to the final walkthrough, we provide step-by-step guidance, expert recommendations, and design solutions tailored to your needs.

BUMP-OUTS & ROOM ADDITIONS
MANTA DESIGN-BUILD
Sometimes, just a little extra space can make a big impact. Whether you’re extending your kitchen, creating a cozy reading nook, or expanding your primary bedroom, bump-outs and room additions offer a smart, efficient way to enhance your home without a full-scale renovation. At Manta Design-Build, we design these tailored expansions to integrate seamlessly with your existing layout—bringing in more light, comfort, and functionality while preserving the character of your home. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, from window placement and architectural lines to finishes that align with your home’s unique style. We prioritize what matters most to you, crafting spaces that improve daily living and reflect your personal needs. It’s not just about adding square footage—it’s about designing a better way to live, right where you are.
SECOND-STORY ADDITIONS
MANTA DESIGN-BUILD
A second-story addition is more than an upgrade—it’s a transformative investment in how your home lives and functions. By building upward, you gain significant square footage without compromising your outdoor space, creating the flexibility to add exactly what you need—whether it’s a spacious new primary suite, additional bedrooms, a home office, or a versatile bonus room. At Manta Design-Build, we thoughtfully design second-story additions to align seamlessly with your home’s existing architecture, ensuring the new level feels like a natural extension both inside and out. With well-planned layouts, integrated storage, and finishes that reflect your personal style, we create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. It’s not just about adding rooms—it’s about elevating your lifestyle, supporting your family’s growth, and increasing the long-term value of your home.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (ADUs)
MANTA DESIGN-BUILD
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is more than just additional space—it’s a thoughtful extension of your home and lifestyle. Whether you’re building a private guest retreat, generating rental income, or creating a comfortable space for multigenerational living, an ADU offers a smart, flexible solution to maximize your property’s potential. At Manta Design-Build, we design these self-contained units with the same care and attention as any full-size home—complete with efficient kitchens, full bathrooms, inviting living areas, and clever storage solutions, all within a well-planned footprint. Every element, from layout and lighting to finishes and fixtures, is tailored to deliver comfort, style, and lasting value. With expert craftsmanship and seamless integration, your ADU becomes a beautiful, functional space that enhances both your property and the way you live.
OUTDOOR SPACES
MANTA DESIGN-BUILD
Your outdoor living space should feel like a natural extension of your home—comfortable, inviting, and designed around how you live. Whether you’re envisioning a cozy patio, a custom deck, or a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, we create spaces that blend function, beauty, and everyday enjoyment. At Manta Design-Build, we tailor every element—layouts, materials, and features like fire pits, built-in seating, or lighting—to suit your vision. With expert craftsmanship and thoughtful planning, we transform backyards into personal retreats that elevate your home and enhance your lifestyle.
OUR process
The Manta Design-Build Difference
With years of hands-on experience transforming homes, Manta Design-Build has developed a streamlined process that removes the stress from renovation and remodeling. Our approach is rooted in organization, transparency, and thoughtful planning—ensuring your project stays on schedule, on budget, and aligned with your vision from day one. Every project we undertake follows five clearly defined phases, each designed to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, consistent communication, and a seamless experience from concept to completion.
01. PLANNING
The planning phase is where our collaboration begins. We take the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and vision—laying the foundation for a successful partnership. It’s also your opportunity to get to know us better. We invite you to explore our portfolio and read reviews from past clients to see how we approach each project with care and craftsmanship. If it feels like the right fit, we’ll move confidently into the design phase and start shaping your vision into reality.
02. DESIGN
During the design phase, we take detailed measurements and dive deeper into your goals and style preferences. From there, our team creates 3D renderings to help you visualize the layout and finishes. You’ll visit our showroom to explore and select materials—from countertops and tile to lighting and fixtures. Once your design is finalized, we move into the refine phase to get everything ready for construction.
03. IMPLEMENTATION
In the Implementation Phase, our construction team gets to work bringing your design to life with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. We handle everything from demolition and framing to installation and finishing touches, ensuring each step meets our high standards. Throughout the build, we maintain open communication, provide regular updates, and stay on schedule to minimize disruptions to your routine. Our goal is to deliver a smooth, stress-free experience—so you can enjoy the transformation without the headaches.
04. FINISHING TOUCHES
As we reach the final stage, we focus on the details that truly complete your space. Our team conducts a thorough quality check, fine-tunes every element, and ensures each finish meets our exacting standards. From adjusting hardware to perfecting caulk lines and touch-ups, no detail is overlooked. We’ll walk through the space with you to ensure everything meets your expectations, and only then do we consider the project complete. The result is a beautifully finished bathroom that feels polished, personal, and ready to enjoy.
05. ENJOYMENT
The final phase is all about stepping into your newly transformed space and fully enjoying the results. We’ll guide you through a comprehensive walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations and functions as intended. If anything needs adjusting, we’ll take care of it promptly. With everything complete, you can finally relax, unwind, and enjoy a bathroom that’s not only beautiful—but thoughtfully built for the way you live.
