Residential Additions
A addition can be a great way to get more useable space out of your home. Whether it's an addition of a room above your house, expanding outwards, or a deck to enjoy more outdoor activities, it is the perfect solution to needing more living space out of your home.
Some things to consider…
When considering adding on to your home versus the alternative, moving, it may be an easier option to choose the former. Here are some things to take into account when looking into adding on to your home.
Budget
A home addition can be a tricky one to budget out. Depending on how many square feet you want to add on to your home will ultimately be a big deciding factor, as well as the kind of materials you want to use.
What Kind?
There are many options for adding on to your home. Do you want to build upwards and add a bonus room, do you want to build sideways and add a bedroom or office, or do you want to build add a deck outside to make your backyard even better?
Building to Code
With new construction, you have to be mindful of buidling to code in accordance to city or county regulation. It's rare that this can be an obstacle, but it is still something the customer should be aware of
Design
The design of your addition comes down to what purpose you want it to serve. For example, if your looking at adding an office, you probably don't want multiple sections in the room. If your adding a new bedroom, you might want a walk-in closet or a bathroom connected, which varies the desgin. It's all up to how you want to get use out of your space.
Blending In
You don't want your new addition to stick out like a sore thumb, that's why it's important to make sure it is placed and built properly to make it look like the addition was already there when the house was built.
The Bottom Line
When you decide you want to add on to your home, choosing the right contractor is a major part. There's going to be permits that need to be pulled, building codes to follow, and blueprints that need to be proposed. All of this is why you choose a trusty contractor to help you with the process from start to finish.
