Contemplating a home addition or renovation but not sure if it’s worth the time and money? There are many situations in which expanding the features of your home will be an investment that your family enjoys for years to come. If you’re trying to determine whether an addition is right for you, consider the following five scenarios.

5 Reasons You May Want to Add a Home Addition

1. New Family Members

A great way to address space concerns in a house expecting a new family member is through additions. Making these decisions during the “expecting” phase allows you to best plan, whereas last-second decisions will be made in haste.

2. Mobility Handicaps

If a member of your household has restricted mobility, then stairs will prove challenging for them. In this case, it may be beneficial to add bedrooms on the ground floor and to widen doorways. Consider bathroom renovations, as well. Having a shower that’s large enough to accommodate a wheelchair will be a great help.

3. Recreational Spaces

Rec rooms provide a convenient opportunity for at-home fun with the family. Sometimes a furnished basement or attic can serve this purpose. Other times, expanding a room to make it large enough for game tables will be sufficient.

4. Cramped Areas

If there are any features of your home that don’t feel roomy enough, you may want to focus on expanding them. Having a large kitchen, for example, can make a difference when it comes to the ease of meal preparations. Tight hallways and bathrooms may also be worth expanding.

5. Frequent Visitors

Even if your family isn’t likely to grow, you may be the sort of people who host frequent houseguests. If this is the case, having guestrooms and additional space in the rest of the house will allow you to be more hospitable. This proves especially helpful around the holidays when your house is full of visiting relatives.
