Design-Build in Heritage
Home additions in Heritage
Your house in Heritage still works. It just needs room for the life you’ve built since you moved in.
A newer community with room to grow
Heritage was built as a golf course community starting in the early 2000s, and Heritage Golf Club opened in 2001. By our count of Wake County records, about half its houses went up in the 2000s and most of the rest in the 2010s.
These houses don’t need saving. They need to fit a family that’s grown, a parent moving in, or more time spent at home.
Adding on to a newer house
By our count, the typical lot here is about a quarter acre, so every square foot of an addition matters. We plan it to fit your lot, your setbacks, and the way you use the backyard.
You can add a sunroom that opens to the yard, a suite for a parent, a main-floor primary suite, or living space over the garage.
HOA approval, then the town
In Heritage Wake Forest Two, the Master ARC reviews structural changes, and new materials must match the house. The town may not issue a permit without the association’s written approval.
Most of Heritage is inside Wake Forest’s town limits, but part of it falls under Rolesville. We check which rules apply to your lot during Design, then handle the permits and inspections.

What our clients say
-
“They let us take our time with decisions, helped guide us through the design process, and really understood our needs and what we were hoping for. In the end, they interpreted and delivered our dream kitchen - ahead of schedule to boot!”
Brianna R. Kitchen remodel, Wake Forest -
“Oak City Homes completely flipped that narrative on its head. From day one, they were communicative, consultative, collaborative, and genuinely approachable.”
Eric H. -
“We met with several contractors before settling on Oak City because they took the time to explain their process and answered our questions prior to signing a contract.”

Heritage questions
Who issues the permit for an addition in Heritage?
Most of Heritage is in the Town of Wake Forest, but part of it falls under Rolesville’s planning jurisdiction. We confirm which rules and permit office apply to your lot during Design, then handle the permit.
Does the HOA have to approve an addition first?
Yes. In Heritage Wake Forest Two, the Master ARC reviews structural changes, and the town may not issue a permit without that written approval.
Some sub-associations have their own review committee too.
Will an addition match the rest of the house?
It has to. Heritage Wake Forest Two requires siding and shingles that match the existing house, and it doesn’t allow vinyl or aluminum siding or tile roofs.
