When you like your home and you love your neighborhood, you may not want to move, even if you’re short on space. Fortunately, you don’t have to move to enjoy a larger home interior. By working with a professional home remodeling contractor, you can make structural changes to your home to give you more room. Here are a few types of home additions you should consider.

5 Varieties of Home Additions

1. Bump Out

When you have a small room adjacent to your yard, a home addition called a bump out might be an option. After creating an additional foundation pad, contractors can expand existing rooms to make them larger by adding to the home’s existing structure. 

2. Attic Conversion 

Since attics are already a part of your house, they are relatively easy to convert into a usable bedroom space. A usable staircase needs to be installed, and insulation will need to be adjusted to allow for normal flooring. To bring in more light, include additional windows or skylights.

3. Sunroom 

Sunrooms create a bright, usable space where people can grow indoor plants, relax, or watch the sunset. Surrounded by temperature-resistant, tempered glass, sunrooms let the light pour in and give your home a bit of personality. Home remodeling contractors can add sunrooms to nearly any part of the home, but they are most commonly placed near living rooms, kitchens, and dining areas. 

4. Second Story Addition

If you need a lot of extra square footage, you should consider a second story addition to your space. By removing the existing roof and building above the existing structure, home remodeling contractors can add many extra rooms, which is perfect for expanding families. 

5. Garage Conversion

Like attics, garage conversions require additional insulation to protect the space from extreme heat and cold. Garage spaces are versatile enough to be used as spare bedrooms, large bathrooms, or even additional living spaces.
