Room additions are excellent options for homeowners who need more space but wish to remain in their current house. Because this endeavor is a substantial investment, it’s important to weigh your options carefully. By making the best decisions for your family and budget, you ensure a successful addition with the greatest long-term functional and financial value.

3 Considerations for Room Additions

1. Purpose

How do you intend to use your new space? Often, if your family is growing—whether new children are born, or elderly loved ones are moving in—you’ll need additional bedrooms and bathrooms. On the other hand, some homeowners simply seek extra room for entertaining, in which case options such as new family rooms and sunrooms can be explored.

2. Budget

Having an idea of what you can spend from the start will prevent you from going over budget. Smaller room additions, such as bedrooms and sunrooms, will naturally cost less than large-scale additions such as family rooms. In fact, sunrooms are ideal for budget-oriented projects. Whether you’d like to have a non-heated three-season room or a fully-heated room with electricity and other add-ons, there are options available for many different price points.

3. Contractor

Lastly, find a contractor who is willing to provide options to align with your budget. The ideal contractor will have a reputation for providing quality work, competitive rates, and free estimates. Additionally, a contractor who doesn’t hire subcontractors can also help minimize costs and hassle, as all of your services will be provided by one company.
