Maybe your kids are getting ready to move out, or, perhaps, you’re envisioning life in a different town. Whatever the reason, you know you might sell eventually—just not right this minute. In the meantime, you’re still enjoying your New Haven County, CT, house and wondering about getting a home addition. As Baybrook Remodelers in West Haven explains below, an addition will significantly boost your home value and curb appeal, as well as your current quality of life.

Here are a few additions that you might consider for improving your curb appeal:

• Patio: A home with a patio is a great addition. Build your patio in the front of your home, and it’ll boost your curb appeal, too. This summer, enjoy the fresh air and sunshine on your new patio, while also knowing that, after a few years, this highly coveted home addition will justify a higher asking price.

• Family Room: One of the most cost-effective indoor home additions you can build is a family room. With fewer needs than a bathroom or kitchen (e.g., no plumbing or fixtures), the logistics are relatively easier to plan. It’ll also increase your square footage, justify a higher asking price, and give you an opportunity to brighten your curb appeal with new windows, doors, or siding.

• A Second Story: If you don’t have enough space to build out, how about building up? If you’ve always been dissatisfied with the number of bathrooms or living space in your home, now is your opportunity to get that extra space. This home addition will boost appeal in two ways—you’ll have additional room to include in your home’s statistics, and it will look a lot more impressive.
