If you have extra land and want more space in your home, a room addition is an excellent option. Whether you need space for a child that’s on the way or an aging parent is moving in, there are many times when an add-on is a sensible investment. Below are a few reasons you might want a room addition.

When Should You Add to an Existing Home?

1. Aging Parents

If one of your parents can no longer live on their own, they may be open to living with you instead of in a nursing home. An add-on allows you to plan a space for them that’s accessible and makes their life more comfortable. This includes adding a bedroom and bathroom with wide doorways, non-slip flooring, and sufficient lighting to help them move around. Your contractor can also remodel other portions of your home, such as adjusting the height of countertops or widening the hallways to allow a wheelchair through.

2. Expanding Family

Coordinating a move while you’re expecting a new member of the family is stressful, but limited space may require action. A room addition is a perfect way to accommodate your growing family and make sure no one is too cramped in your house. If you already have children, adding on instead of moving ensures that they can stay in the same school district and near their neighborhood friends. It also allows you to customize the baby’s room to fit your needs perfectly.

3. Improving the Home

If you love your current home due to its location and beauty, but it doesn’t accommodate your lifestyle anymore, consider adding on to it. A custom room addition can make up for anything your current home lacks so that you don’t have to sacrifice what you love about it. Also, if the housing market you live in favors buyers, you could lose money during a home sale.
