Home Additions
Home additions are rooms added on to your house to increase your space. One of the benefits of home additions is that they give you that extra space, without the burden of having to buy a new house. A home addition gives you the feeling of a new home, but without the cost. No matter what kind of room or rooms you’re adding on to your house, there are many different steps to this kind of project, and we can help.
There are many different kinds of home additions. These include:
- One room additions
- Two or more room additions
- Additions going out from your current home
- Additions going up from your current home (i.e. adding a second story)
- In-law suites
- Garages
- Sunroom or porch additions
- Bathroom additions
The list goes on.
The first step to any home improvement project is planning. Planning and designing the interior and exterior of your addition is crucial, and we can help you with this step during our free estimate. Draw up an idea of what you want and where you want it, and we’ll give you our expert advice. We’ll go over all the plans and drawings, as well as help you pick out the materials. Another step before we begin building is to check the building regulations and legal issues that may accompany the project. There are different building regulations everywhere and different permits needed, depending on what kind of addition you’re looking to add. We can help you cover all the angles and make sure that you have all the permits you need.
People get home additions for many different reasons. Some people have growing families and need more room, while others want to increase their home’s value. Some people have purchased an old home that only has one bathroom, and they want to expand. Some people have experienced an increase in their income, but not enough to buy a new home. Whatever your reason, we can help you plan the perfect remodel that will fit within your budget.
Some people think home additions are an unnecessary emotional burden. They take a lot of time and a high level of skill to complete correctly. We’ll work with you through every step of the process. We have the skills for home additions, and we’ll complete yours within a timely manner. We will take a lot of the stress off of your shoulders.
After we help you design the floor plan, we will begin on the building process. Before laying the foundation we’ll make sure that we don’t hit any pipes underground, and we’ll survey the area to make sure we stay within your property limits. After the foundation is laid, we’ll begin with the framing process. After the framing process is complete, we’ll install the windows and doors, depending on your design. Next, we’ll begin on the exterior siding and the roof. Then, we’ll set up drywall, insulation, and all of the electrical and plumbing components.
After the project is complete you can begin interior designing. Look for design ideas online and visit your local paint store or furniture store to get ideas on how to decorate your new space. Another benefit of home additions: not only is the inside of the new addition your creation, but the entire addition was created by you.
