As your family grows or your lifestyle changes, home additions are a practical way to expand living space, increase your home’s value, and enhance comfort without the cost and hassle of moving. Depending on your needs, there are several types of additions to consider.
Garage Conversion
A garage conversion is perfect for homeowners who want flexible spaces or hobby areas. Since the structure already exists, this option can be more cost-effective than building a brand-new room. Typical upgrades include installing heating and cooling, adding sheetrock, and updating flooring.
Some ideas for your converted garage:
- Studio apartment with a private entrance
- Home theater or media room
- Office or creative workspace
- Children’s playroom
Keep in mind that garages are often separated from main living areas, so consider how the space will be accessed and used.
Room Addition
A bump-out or room addition is a single-room expansion built into the side of your home. Common uses include bedrooms, bathrooms, or specialty rooms.
Key points for a room addition:
- May require a new roofline or flat roofing installation
- Must comply with building codes, permits, and inspections
- Ideal for homeowners who want to expand indoor space without affecting outdoor areas significantly
Sunroom
A sunroom addition brings the outdoors inside, offering a bright and versatile space that can be used year-round.
Popular sunroom uses include:
- Playroom for children
- Studio for artists or creative projects
- Home office
- Indoor conservatory for plants
- Home spa with a hot tub
- Dining and entertaining area
Sunrooms are perfect for homeowners seeking a peaceful retreat or a multi-functional space that adds style and light to their home.
