Home Additions Versus Moving, A Growing Family’s Choice
Are you feeling a need for more living space? Do you feel compelled to move but are concerned about the cost of relocating. Before you consider putting your home up for sale, you may want to consider increasing the square footage by adding a room to your home.
Great for providing additional living space to your home, room additions can be an economical solution to accommodate a growing family. The costs for a room addition is moderately low compared to selling your home, especially if you plan to upgrade to a more prestigious neighborhood or to a bigger house.
Room additions, versus buying existing larger homes, also offer the opportunity to be creative. Since you’re starting from scratch, you can take your vision and implement it. Everything from the floor you walk on to the height of the windows and ceiling can be decided by you.
Common types of room additions include a family room addition, bedroom addition, kitchen expansion, and garage addition. With room additions, you can aesthetically determine where the room addition ties into the existing home and select all of the exterior and interior finished materials.
Room additions can be similar to building an entirely new home, particularly if the room addition includes a kitchen and/or bathroom which require plumbing. You’ll need to work with a licensed general contractor who can help you obtain the required permits if the room addition is going to be legal – which is critical for your home’s resale value.
It is also important to note that a room addition project can be disruptive to you and your family. With a little upfront planning this disturbance can be minimized.
