The Primary Suite Your Home Was Always Missing
Rosewood designs and builds primary suite additions for Northern Virginia homeowners. Bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet — planned as one cohesive space, not pieced together from separate contracts.
A primary suite addition is a specific type of room addition — one that combines a bedroom, bathroom, and closet as a unified design. The bathroom in a primary suite addition is designed and built to the same standard as a standalone bathroom remodeling project — full tile, custom vanity, and shower.

Many Northern Virginia homes — particularly those built in the 1980s and 1990s — were not designed with a true primary suite. The bedroom exists. The closet is undersized. The bathroom is shared or dated.

frequently asked questions
How much does a primary suite addition cost in Northern Virginia?
How long does a typical renovation project take?
A primary suite addition in Northern Virginia typically runs $250,000 or more depending on size, whether a bathroom is included, closet configuration, and finish level. Projects that include a full primary bathroom, walk-in closet, and premium finishes will sit at the higher end. Rosewood provides a detailed preliminary budget during the design phase before any commitments are made.
How long does a primary suite addition take?
How long does a typical renovation project take?
A primary suite addition typically takes five to seven months from design through completion, including permitting. The design phase runs six to ten weeks, followed by permitting and construction.

Can a primary suite addition include a new bathroom and walk-in closet?
How long does a typical renovation project take?
Yes, and this is the most common configuration.

All three spaces are planned together during the design phase so the layout, finishes, and flow work as a cohesive whole.
Where do primary suite additions typically go on a Northern Virginia home?
How long does a typical renovation project take?
The most common configurations are a rear addition on the first floor, a conversion of an existing second-floor space, or an addition above a garage.

Rosewood evaluates all options during the design phase and recommends the approach that makes the most structural and functional sense.
