Deciding on your home addition
You are considering an addition to your home. You’ve looked online, talked to friends and family about whether a house addition is the best choice. A home addition is not a DIY type of affair. A professional can help you navigate any necessary permits, and give you advice on whether popping the top or digging out your basement is the best course of action. Your reasons to add on to your home may be simple or complex – but they’re yours and we can help. Read on for some of the homeowner reasons we hear for adding on to your home.
You have many reasons to stay and only one reason to move
You love your neighborhood, your schools, your commute. Or maybe you love the way your home is laid out and the ease in which you and your loved ones are able to enjoy the space. There’s only one pesky problem. Space is at a premium and you need more of it. More space is available if you move but in a seller’s market, this extra space costs a premium. You might not be ready to trade in the home you have now for another with a less desirable neighborhood, longer commute, or less than stellar schools. An addition will keep you in your home while adding the extra space you need.
You need more room for a growing family or a new pursuit
Do you already envision what your home addition will be used for? If you have dreams of a house with windows for three of the four walls, chances are you wouldn’t want to make it a bedroom. Maybe it’s a reading room. You may need more room for a growing family, to welcome members of your extended family, or to run your business from your home.
Hiring an expert like Castle Builds will help you figure out exactly how to add on to your home. You need to consider how your roofline will connect to the addition and how to match the existing look of your home.
Maybe you don’t know exactly what you’ll do with the extra space. Here are a few ideas.
At some point you will sell
Not having enough space could hold up your home sale. What if your home, smaller and lacking a master bedroom is not comparable to others in the neighborhood? Worried about having a small lot? You don’t necessarily need to take square footage away from your yard as Castle Builds can add more space below or above your home.
