If you’re thinking of having new home construction, you’ll need to consider the number of stories. Whether you choose to have one or two floors, there are several differences between the two, including roofing, flooring, and utilities. Here are some of the benefits of both options so that you can determine which one is right for you.

Single-Story Homes

Lighting & Window Options

Single-story homes have less window space. However, with the roof directly above all the rooms, you’ll have more options for skylights and ceiling modifications. This allows you to make your home more open and increase the amount of natural light.

Better Mobility for Older Residents

Without stairs to cope with, you’ll have an easier time enjoying all of the space in your home while reducing your dependence on assistance or costly mobility modifications.

Two-Story Homes

Smaller Footprint

With new home construction, a key consideration is how to make the most effective use of your available space. Two-story houses are an excellent way to increase your overall floorspace without spreading your house all over your land. This gives you more outdoor space for landscaping and other uses.

Easier to Separate Private & Shared Spaces

A second story makes it easy to separate private spaces like offices and bedrooms from the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. Many two-story homes are designed with communal rooms on the bottom floor while the private areas are upstairs. This way you can allow each family member, as well as guests, privacy when shared spaces become a bit too much.
