Whether you want to create an extra room or an entire wing of living space, an addition enhances the usability and comfort of the house. As long as you have the land to accommodate an addition, a homebuilder can design one that meets your family’s needs and budget. Here are a few benefits of starting this construction project.

Why You Should Get a Home Addition

1. More Living Space

An addition expands the amount of livable space available within the house. More square footage means ample room to move around and greater comfort and convenience for the whole family. This is especially important if your existing home is on the smaller side and space is already at a premium.

2. Accommodate a Growing Family

For example, use the addition as a nursery if you’re expecting, or turn it into an in-law suite so that elderly parents can age in place.

3. Boost Your Income

In some cases, an addition can increase your income. A granny flat or an added room with a separate entrance can be rented by a long-term tenant or as a vacation rental.

Even if renting out the space isn't in your immediate plans, it's something to consider for the future. If the kids currently occupy the area, you can transform it into a studio apartment once they move out.
