Are you considering a home addition? If you’ve lived in the city for any amount of time, you know that Denver home additions may be the only practical solution to an outrageous housing market shortage.
No doubt, a home addition is not a DIY type of affair. A professional contractor in Denver can help you navigate any necessary permits, helping you make aesthetic choices, and help your home fit your needs while keeping it’s natural charm. Your reasons to add on to your home may be simple or complex – but they’re yours and we can help. Here are some of the best and most popular home addition ideas to help you spread out.
Put a Room Over the Garage
This is a popular one in Denver since so many homes have sheds and carports in the back yard already. Creating a bonus room garage is a great way to add extra square footage. The best part? All the dust, mess, and noise will stay outside!
If you already have a structure in your back yard, this home addition is relatively quick and easy. All you need are walls and a roof. Once it’s finished, you can rent it out or use it as a guest bedroom.
Finish Your Basement
Finishing a basement is also an incredibly popular choice for Denver homeowners. This renovation increases the livable square footage in your home, and it gives you additional space you can use for a small apartment, a home theater, or an office.
However, some Denver homes date back to the 1930’s and earlier. Those Coloradans hadn’t quite figured out the right side for a basement and may have just built a crawlspace. Good news. Crawlspace conversions are another very common home addition that achieves the same purpose as a basement renovation. Whatever you choose, just be sure you include emergency windows or a backyard walkout if you plan to build a basement bedroom.
Pop-Top Addition
Second story home additions are becoming increasingly popular for many reasons. In some cases, adding another level to a home can save some real money as opposed to buying a whole new house. In other instances, homeowners want to expand their square footage but don’t want to leave the neighborhood they have lived in for many years, making the “pop the top” remodel an attractive option.
As far as home addition projects go, an attic has unlimited potential! You can take advantage of that extra square footage and turn it into any number of things. Our clients typically choose things like a guest bedroom, home gym, art studio, or office. Converting an attic into livable space can recover as much as 56% of the value!
