Home Additions
Sooner or later, most people find the need for a home addition to provide more room for their family. Even if you don't need the extra space, you'll find that a home addition can greatly increase the resale value of your home. A similar sized house with more number of rooms is always preferable to one with fewer rooms. An addition to your home can also help you plan for the future when your needs change. Adding on an extra kitchen for use during entertaining, or a study area for the kids, or a den for you, can greatly enhance the quality of your life too, making a room addition a value intensive project.
If you are making an addition to your home with the intention of selling the property, then remember that only minor remodels will get you the maximum return on your investment. Avoid major and extensive home addition plans if you're planning on putting the property on the market immediately. A second story addition is more expensive and time consuming than adding on a bathroom, and you may enjoy greater benefits if you continue to live in the home for a few years in your new space, before selling the property. There are also local building codes to consider, failing which you could actually have your room addition project shut down.
Additions to your property can give great value for money if you can find two or more uses for a single room. For instance, a custom sunroom addition can give you a space for entertaining and socializing with friends, and can also be used as a family room at the end of the day. You can also use your sunroom as a conservatory by placing potted plants and herbs, and also as a pool room. A bedroom addition can provide much needed private space if you have more than one child, while a garage addition can be used not just to park your car, but also as a work area to indulge in your hobbies and crafts.

I am wanting to convert a garage into a bedroom and a closet and a bathroom, carpet ect. The room next to it requires a little work carpet, closing off the washer and dryer and turning the closet that faces the den around. Would like to share the bathroom with the other room if possible. |
