A house addition is a big step for any homeowner — not only does it increase your family’s standard of living while you are staying in the house, but if you ever decide to sell it, any additions will only serve to add functionality to your home, and therefore will also increase your property value.
When deciding to get a house addition, usually people know what they want going in. These sorts of things are often chosen in order to alleviate a specific problem. However, if you are uncertain what kinds of house additions are an option, here are three of the most common kinds of addition:
- A Bump-Out. Most commonly in the living room, a bump-out is where you move a room’s wall out a couple of feet, making it slightly bigger. It is a relatively unobtrusive change, but it can make all the difference when trying to fit a big, family-sized couch in front of the TV or just trying to make the room more spacious.
- New Rooms. Whether you are welcoming a new member into the family, putting in a game room or home theater, or simply need more space for a home office, a new room can give you extra space to make your home adjust to whatever your life is demanding of you at the time.
- A Second Story. Assuming your home is zoned for it, a second-story addition can help give you a lot more space without compromising on your lawn space.
Whatever it is that you need out of a house addition, we are dedicated to ensuring that your home is added on to in a way that works for you.
