Primary Suite Additions in Fredericksburg & Central Virginia
A thoughtfully designed primary-suite addition can create the privacy, comfort and everyday function your current home is missing.
R.E. Horner Construction designs and builds complete bedroom, bath and dressing spaces that feel seamlessly connected to the architecture of the existing home.
Primary suite additions
Create a private retreat within the home you already love.
Whether you are planning a first-floor suite, a more spacious private retreat or a home designed for long-term living, the new space should feel intentional from every angle.
We consider privacy, natural light, circulation, storage, bath design and architectural connection to the existing home from the beginning.
A primary suite may include:
- Spacious bedroom with a private bath
- Walk-in closets and tailored storage
- Custom vanities and cabinetry
- Curbless showers and accessible bath design
- Dressing or laundry areas
- Private outdoor access or covered porch
- First-floor living designed for long-term comfort
Designed for Privacy
We consider placement, circulation, views and separation from shared living spaces so the suite feels like a true retreat.
Comfort in Every Detail
Bedroom layout, bath design, storage, lighting and accessibility are planned together to create a space that feels calm, functional and complete.
Integrated with the Home
Rooflines, foundation, exterior materials and interior transitions are considered from the beginning so the addition feels like it has always belonged.

Is a primary-suite addition right for your project?
Our primary-suite addition service is designed for homeowners planning a substantial expansion that includes a bedroom, private bath and related living or storage space.
We focus on complete, thoughtfully planned additions where architectural integration, comfort and long-term functionality are equally important.
Standalone bathroom refreshes and minor interior updates are generally outside the scope of this service.
Project investment
A private suite is more than added square footage.
The investment required for a primary-suite addition depends on more than size. Foundation and roofline, plumbing, HVAC, bath design, cabinetry, accessibility features, exterior connection and finish selections all influence the overall scope.
We evaluate each project individually so the design, priorities and anticipated investment can be aligned from the beginning.
What influences investment
- Foundation and roofline
- Plumbing and HVAC
- Bath design and cabinetry
- Accessibility features
- Exterior connection and finishes
Each suite is evaluated individually rather than by a cost per square foot.
What our clients say
What our clients say.
Brian Vaughan with R.E. Horner was wonderful working with. He sat down with us in his Locust Grove office. We went over the plans together. Brian understood the vision we had and made it happen. His craftsmanship is absolutely incredible. From start to finish he was on job site checking every detail.
After having a particularly unpleasant experience with another contractor, working with Brian was a breath of fresh air. In addition to building a workshop, we had a laundry list of other items to be done. Brian provided transparent pricing options so we could make informed choices, and during planning he offered cost effective solutions to meet our needs.
R.E. Horner’s team helped build our dream home. We changed a few things during the process and they made it happen.
Primary suite FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
Answers to what homeowners ask us first about primary suite additions.
Often, yes. We evaluate the existing home, property, setbacks, structure and utilities to determine where an addition can be placed and how it should connect to the existing floor plan.
Absolutely. Curbless showers, wider openings, thoughtful fixture placement and other accessibility features can be integrated into the overall design without making the space feel clinical or institutional.
No. Your goals, priorities and property are the best place to begin. We can help determine the most appropriate layout and design direction as the project develops.
Ideally, early. Involving the builder before the design is finalized allows us to consider placement, structure, plumbing, HVAC, roofline and anticipated investment while options are still being explored.
Yes. First-floor placement, accessible bath features, generous circulation and thoughtful storage can all be incorporated to make the space comfortable now and adaptable for the future.
Yes. Depending on the available footprint and your priorities, the suite can incorporate dressing areas, laundry access, custom storage or other features that make everyday routines more convenient.
The overall investment depends on the addition’s size, structural requirements, bath design, plumbing and mechanical work, cabinetry, exterior integration and finish selections. We evaluate each project individually rather than relying on generic square-foot pricing.
