You put a lot of love into your house. Over the years, you’ve made family memories in all of the rooms and have adjusted the design to your unique style. However, with time, your family might have expanded—or the number of belongings you have to store may have grown. The guide below looks at the benefits of a home addition to provide you with the space you need.

Why Invest in a Home Addition?

1. Boost Property Value

Generally, homes with more square footage have a higher value than smaller homes. When you invest in this project, you can expect to get some of that money back upon resale.

How much you’ll get will vary depending on what you add. There is usually more ROI associated with first-floor bedrooms, additional bathrooms, and outdoor living spaces.

2. Create Your Dream Home

You may love your home, but there’s likely something you’ve always wished that it had. Perhaps you want a spare bedroom for guests, an in-law unit to rent out for some additional income, or another bathroom so all the kids don’t have to share.

A home addition not only grants you more functional space but can also be an opportunity to explore your creative side when it comes to selecting a new aesthetic.

3. Alternative to Moving

One of the most common reasons people need to move out of a home and area they love is because they’ve outgrown their home. By adding on the space you need, you can stay where you are.

The cost of selling your home, buying a new one, and moving can add up to more than what it would cost to bring in a remodeling contractor. You’ll also avoid the stress of potentially moving your children out of their school district or having to adjust your commute to work.
