You may love your home, but you may have unused space on your property that you can utilize for your growing needs. This is where home additions come into play, as they allow you to improve the function of your home, and furthermore, they allow you to stay in the neighborhood you love and increase the value of your home.
Here are five common and effective home additions to think about:
- Guest Room: Adding an extra bedroom is one of the most common home additions, especially if your family is growing or if you’re looking to accommodate guests.
- Garage: Adding a garage (whether attached or detached) provides valuable storage space for your vehicles, tools, and equipment. It can also serve as a workshop or even a gym.
- Home Office: With the rise of remote work, building a home office has become an increasingly popular addition, providing a dedicated and quiet space for your daily work.
- Screened Porch: A screened porch will allow you to enjoy the outdoors while being protected from insects and weather, providing you with a comfortable outdoor retreat.
- Second Floor: If you have limited ground space on which to build an addition, adding a full second story instead can double the square footage, allowing for more bedrooms, bathrooms, or office space.
