How a West Jordan Family Expanded Their Home for Better Everyday Living
A real home addition by Design Your Price in West Jordan, Utah
Location: West Jordan, Utah
Project Type: Home Addition & Interior Expansion
Approx. Square Footage Added: 1,058 sq ft
Project Timeline: Approximately 5 months
Project Investment: $215,000–$250,000*
Project Overview
The homeowners wanted significantly more functional space without having to move. Their existing layout needed a larger kitchen and better areas for gathering, working, dining, laundry, and everyday family life.
Design Your Price developed a home addition that added approximately 1,058 square feet and expanded several of the home’s most-used spaces. The project included a larger kitchen, gathering room, mudroom and laundry room, office/game room, dining room, expanded primary bathroom, and a large walk-in primary closet.
During the project, the team also identified an opportunity above the new kitchen and gathering area that ultimately gave the homeowners approximately 400 additional square feet of storage.
The Challenge
This project wasn’t simply about adding square footage. The goal was to make the home function better across several connected spaces while coordinating a substantial addition with the existing structure.
Key project considerations included:
- Creating a significantly larger and more functional kitchen
- Adding dedicated gathering and dining areas
- Incorporating a mudroom and laundry room
- Creating an office/game room
- Expanding the primary bathroom and walk-in closet
- Coordinating the new addition with the existing home’s structure and exterior
- Managing the excavation, foundation, framing, roofing, mechanical systems, and finishes required for the addition

The Solution
Design Your Price coordinated the addition from the structural work through the interior spaces, including excavation, concrete, framing, roofing, siding, windows, mechanical work, and finishes.
The team also produced kitchen drawings and renderings to help plan the expanded kitchen and coordinated the West Jordan permitting process.
One of the most valuable discoveries came from the area above the new kitchen and gathering room. Instead of leaving that volume unused, the team recognized that it could become accessible storage. That decision gave the homeowners approximately 400 square feet of additional storage beyond the primary living-space improvements.
The Result
The completed addition gave the homeowners substantially more functional space for everyday living, gathering, working, and relaxing.
The finished project provided:
- A larger, more functional kitchen
- New gathering space for family and guests
- Dedicated dining space
- Mudroom and laundry functionality
- An office/game room
- An expanded primary bathroom
- A large walk-in primary closet
- Approximately 400 sq ft of additional storage above the kitchen and gathering area
Rather than simply making the home larger, the project reorganized key parts of the house around how the homeowners wanted to live.
