Sooner or later, most people find the need for a home addition to provide more room for their family. Even if you don't need the extra space, you'll find that a home addition can greatly increase the resale value of your home. A similar sized house with more number of rooms is always preferable to one with fewer rooms. An addition to your home can also help you plan for the future when your needs change. Adding on an extra kitchen for use during entertaining, or a study area for the kids, or a den for you, can greatly enhance the quality of your life too, making a room addition a value intensive project.
Although additions to your home can enhance your property value, the best time for a home addition project is when you plan to stay in your property for few more years before selling it off. You can never be entirely sure of the ROI at the time of selling, so it's wise to enjoy your new room additions for a while before you consider placing it on the market. If ROI is the number one priority, consider kitchen basement and family room additions that offer the greatest return on investment. For instance, a new master bed room addition ranks lower down the line in terms of ROI, although it can greatly enhance your life style.
Custom sunroom addition that blends perfectly with the rest of your home can give you an impromptu entertaining area that can also be used, by placing pots and plants, as an indoor garden. Your sunroom addition should be carefully set up to take maximum advantage of natural sunlight. New design features include roof vents that open the ceiling automatically when the sunroom becomes hot. A new kitchen addition can be built along the same lines as your existing kitchen, but on a scaled down version. You will need a larger deep freezer, and may be even a built in bar for entertaining. A family room addition can be a brightly lit and ventilated space that allows for TV viewing and other family activities.
I would like to convert a 2 car garage into a living room. This would include removing the garage door and adding a window and siding. Also, we would like to add a shower to the existing 1/2 bathroom. (we would need to extend the bathroom into the garage area by 4 feet to make room for the stand up shower)
