What to consider when planning an addition

There are many benefits to building an addition to a house. Some include increasing storage, expanding main living areas, adding a bedroom, or creating specialized spaces. While the scope and cost of additions can be large, they are one of the best home improvement projects.

Adding an addition to your home will greatly expand important living areas in the home. The kitchen, one of the most important rooms in your house, can greatly be expanded with an addition. Another popular room often expanded is the living/ family room. An additon to expand these two vital rooms opens up possibilities for family time, entertaining, work and more.

We get asked to turn garages into living space, usually for a bedroom with bath, but some have been for that extra family room, so enjoyable when the home is full of visiting family with children.

After the holidays are over, think about how you could have used an extra bedroom and bath, and that additional family room for all the nieces and nephews!
