Additions encompass expanding your home's existing footprint to accommodate entirely new rooms, bump out existing rooms to improve functionality, or literally raise the roof and add living space in a second floor attic space. Each house is different with a different foundation and structural requirements, as well as having a different style with unique characteristics. Room additions are not usually a weekend do-it-yourself project. Because room additions are so customized, it's difficult to say what your project will run per square foot, but it's likely to be at least $100 and may go up depending on a variety of factors including tie-ins to the current structure, demolition, materials, and desired finishes.
 
Benefits of a Room Addition
If you are thinking about adding a room addition, no doubt you've already given some thought to the benefits of a new room. Room additions can offer much-needed living space, workrooms or hobby rooms, and even space for relaxing and pampering yourself (such as a screened-in porch, sunroom, or even a luxurious master suite). Room additions also can add greatly to the resale value of a home, above and beyond the actual cost of construction.
Types of Room Additions
There are many types of room additions that can be added to your existing home:
Sunrooms and garden rooms
Family rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, home offices
Multiple-use rooms
Bay window additions, dormer additions
But regardless of which style you choose, making your room addition look as if it belongs there is always an important consideration. We can help match rooflines, architectural features, brickwork, and other styling cues to enhance your existing home.
