Looking for home addition contractors near you in Herndon? Vision Custom Build & Remodel is a licensed Class A Town of Herndon / Fairfax County contractor that designs and builds bump-outs, second-story additions, primary suites, sunrooms, and in-law additions across Herndon and the surrounding area.
Why Herndon homeowners pick Vision Custom
Herndon homes are typically victorian-era downtown homes, 1980s colonials, and franklin farm era two-stories — which means every addition has to be designed around the actual floor plan, foundation, and roofline of your house, not a generic template. The Town of Herndon issues its own permits and the Heritage Preservation Review Board reviews exterior work in the historic district near Elden Street. Outside town limits you're under Fairfax County — we confirm the line before scoping.
We serve every Herndon neighborhood including Historic Downtown Herndon, Kingstream, Franklin Farm, McNair Farms, and Dranesville — across ZIP codes 20170, 20171, 20172.
