Do you love your home, but wish it had more space? Room additions are the perfect solution for growing families looking to take their home from cozy to comfortable. This allows you to stay in the neighbourhood you love and saves the process of relocating to a new house. Room additions can also range in size, from adding a closet or guest bathroom to adding on one or more floors to your existing home. Sometimes you can also create additional living space.

Where to Begin with Planning Room Additions

  • Set your budget. Do some homework and find a budget that is comfortable, but realistic. This will be a good starting point for determining the scope of the project and prioritizing your needs and wants.
  • Consider your overall home. There may be a way to better utilize your existing space and have a room addition that improves the function of your home. Think about how you can redesign existing rooms to function as a whole with the additional space.
  • Determine feasibility. Sometimes actual room additions are not possible in a home, whether due to structural concerns or property line restrictions. There are other ways to create additional living space, such as converting a garage or basement. A good contractor or construction company will come out to assess your home to determine which way would be best to do room additions.
  • Think about your return on investment. Some room additions add more value to a home such as expanding kitchens, an extra bathroom, or a private primary bedroom suite. These are not only great options to make your house feel more like home, but will also add long-term value.
