Choosing the Addition
Remodeling a home is something that homeowners can plan for years, whether they’re waiting for the kids to go off to college or simply can’t decide what addition to put in. There’s a huge range of possibilities when it comes to room additions, and you can cover anything from children’s playrooms to home offices.

- Spa-like master bathrooms
- Second-story additions
- Family rooms, playrooms, a child’s room
- Home offices

Limiting Factors
In reality, not every home can support every kind of room addition. You’ll likely be limited by the size of your lot, your budget, and any restrictions in your area. To ensure that your addition is as seamless as possible, use these tips:
- Stay true to the original style of your home to keep the addition authentic
- Find out local restrictions before planning your addition
- Leave room for your backyard
- Set up a temporary living space so that you have use of a kitchen and bathroom during the construction process
