A well-planned home addition will boost your home’s value by adding some much needed space.
We offer a few simple tips to consider as you get started.
Create A Wish List
A great place to start is by asking yourself important questions and creating a wish list. What do you want your project to solve? Do you need more space? Are you looking to improve curb appeal? Make a priority list of the improvements and goals you want to achieve so that your home remodeling contractor can help you plan accordingly.
Legal Restrictions
Find out all the legalities in what can and can’t be built on the property. Every city is different, and has their own laws in regards to height restrictions, historic or district ordinances or how close a structure can be built to property lines. These will be important factors in making plans for a new addition.
Room Size
Adding extra space doesn’t mean you need a large addition. Make sure you expand efficiently. Your remodeling contractor can help you determine how to use space from extra closets or hallways so that your addition can be modest. Just a little extra room can really make a big difference to any space.
Outside View
Make sure you are just as concerned about how your addition will look on the outside as the inside. Architecture, design, and placement are critical when it comes to the curb appeal of your new addition. The value of your home will also be considered by how it looks like from the outside.
