The Additions and Structural Desk is a Goodhaus editorial desk, not a person. It is responsible for Goodhaus guides on room additions, ADUs, garage and basement conversions and whole-home projects. Each guide is checked against the public sources it cites before publication. Guides are general homeowner information, not professional, legal or contractor advice.
