IKO Home Additions & ADU: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
If you’re researching IKO home additions and ADU costs in West Palm Beach, here’s the straight answer: a full home addition typically runs $45,000 to $130,000, while an ADU construction project lands between $90,000 and $220,000 depending on size, site conditions, and finish level. Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach installs and manages these projects from permits to final inspection, with a written price before any work starts. Most owners reach out after a bad experience elsewhere: a contractor who went silent mid-project, a price that crept up at the door, or a job that passed inspection but didn’t hold. That’s exactly the situation our process is built to prevent.
Which IKO Models This Applies To
IKO is primarily known in West Palm Beach for roofing systems, but when homeowners come to us asking about IKO home additions and ADU work, they’re usually tying an addition to an existing IKO roof: matching ridge lines, flashing details, and underlayment specs so the new structure doesn’t create a leak point where old meets new. The compatibility question is less about an IKO part number and more about how the addition integrates with the existing IKO system. If your roof is IKO Cambridge, Dynasty, or Nordic shingles, the addition’s roof needs to match that profile, color, and exposure. We also stock and install complementary brands, including KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone for interior finishes on ADU and addition projects.
One gotcha we see regularly: a homeowner builds an addition and the contractor uses a different shingle line, leaving a visible seam or mismatched color across the roof plane. We document the existing IKO spec before framing starts, so the new roof section is specified correctly the first time. Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach is an independent contractor, not affiliated with IKO, but our crews work with IKO materials daily and know the installation requirements from the manufacturer’s own specs.

Signs Your IKO Home Additions & ADU Is Failing
- Water staining on the ceiling where the addition meets the original structure. This almost always points to a failed transition flashing or improperly sealed joint between the old roof and the new one. It’s the most common failure point we correct on additions throughout West Palm Beach.
- Doors that stick or won’t latch in the addition. South Florida’s expansive soils shift seasonally, and an addition that wasn’t properly tied to the existing foundation will move independently. That movement shows up in door frames and drywall cracks first.
- Visible gap between the addition’s exterior wall and the roofline. Hurricane-strapping requirements in Palm Beach County are strict, and a gap here often means the wall-to-roof connection wasn’t secured to code. This is a structural issue, not a cosmetic one.
- Electrical outlets in the addition that trip breakers or run hot. Undersized wiring or an overloaded panel from a DIY electrical rough-in will surface within the first year. We correct these properly with permits pulled and inspections passed.
- Mismatched shingle color or texture where the addition meets the original roofline. Beyond aesthetics, a mismatched system often means the contractor substituted a cheaper product without telling you. The written scope from Bradford lists the exact material, down to the color code.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In West Palm Beach, a home addition project runs $45,000 to $130,000, and ADU construction typically lands between $90,000 and $220,000. The spread depends on square footage, foundation work, the complexity of tying into existing systems, and whether you’re adding a full kitchen and bath to the ADU. Every Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach estimate includes a written line-item breakdown: materials, labor, permits, and the specific brands going into the job. No numbers move at the door, and if a change order is needed, Curtis Lane calls you before anything changes.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every completed project. If the work fails within one year for any reason, we return and correct it at no charge. That guarantee is in writing, signed, and in your hand at job close, along with the permit records and inspection sign-offs. Straight number, full scope, no surprises after the invoice.
DIY or Call Us?
For an addition or ADU, the answer is straightforward: do not attempt this yourself. Framing, foundation work, electrical rough-in, and roofing all carry serious safety risks, and Palm Beach County’s hurricane-strapping and inspection requirements mean a DIY mistake becomes a code violation, a failed inspection, and potentially an unsafe structure in a storm. What you can do safely: document the existing IKO roof specs, measure the space, and pull together your list of wants before you call. Then call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll walk the property, talk through scope, and give you a written price. The estimate is free, and you’ll know exactly what the number is before a single tool comes out.
FAQs
Most home additions in West Palm Beach take 3 to 6 months from permit approval to final inspection, and an ADU typically runs 4 to 8 months depending on scope and city review timelines. Permitting is often the longest single phase, and we handle that end to end so you’re not chasing the building department. Call (728) 203-9809 for a timeline specific to your project.
Most failing additions can be repaired: we correct foundation ties, reflash transitions, replace mismatched roofing sections, and bring electrical up to code without tearing the whole structure down. The repair cost depends on what was done wrong initially, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any corrective work starts. Call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll assess what you have.
We keep IKO shingles, underlayment, and flashing materials in our West Palm Beach inventory for common profiles, and we order spec-matched product for larger or custom additions.

No. The written price you receive before work begins is the price, and changes happen only if you change the scope or we uncover something hidden that requires a written change order you approve first.
