Summer is the perfect time to get started on new home additions. If you’ve been anticipating expanding your space, but still need ideas for what to do, Dahl Construction Company in Bayfield, WI, has several popular options you could pursue.

Get inspired for your project with these common additions:

• Levels: If your home has always seemed a little cramped, and expanding outwards isn’t an option, why not build up and add an extra floor? Use the space to increase the number of bedrooms or bathrooms in your home or construct a studio apartment to rent out. But first, ask your building contractor if your home’s structure can support more height. 

• Sunrooms: Also known as solariums or three-season rooms, sunrooms let you enjoy the great outdoors while staying protected from strong winds or insects. Since they’re still considered an outdoor space, they don’t require insulation or drywall, making them a cost-effective option. 

• New Bedroom or Guestroom: If you’re expecting a new member of the family, or one of your kids is finally ready for their own room, it might be time to build. Spare bedrooms are practical and can boost your property value.

• Garage Conversion: If you’ve been meaning to build a den, why not convert your garage into the ultimate hangout spot? With insulation, drywall, and a finished floor, you’ll have a living space to appreciate year round.  

• Custom Deck or Patio: There’s nothing like a well-crafted deck or patio for entertaining guests or savoring some alone time. This is a feature many buyers on the market look for.
