Has 2020 helped you discover that your home might be a little more cozy than you originally noticed? Is your family starting to feel like you’re constantly tripping over one another or needing extra space to accommodate your shifting needs? With more of us working and playing at home than ever before, the need for ample space to relax and rewind has become front and centre for many Edmontonians. If you find yourself questioning how you can meet your need for space without having to give up the home you love, we have the perfect solution to suggest: home additions.
Cheaper than moving and a great way to enhance your overall value, home additions are as unique as those that live in the home and can be customized to meet your needs. Learn more about the benefits of home additions below.
What Are Home Additions
If you’ve been contemplating throwing up the “for sale” sign, but can’t quite bear the idea of saying goodbye to your current postal code, additions have you covered. As the name suggests, home additions are a category of renovations designed to increase space inside the home, or by expanding into space that you have outdoors.
Conventional options include lateral extensions that add on additional rooms, sunrooms, bump-outs, garages, and more, but there are many ways an addition can be customized to fit your home. To find the best option, there are several key factors that will need to be considered including your desired function, evaluating the foundation of your home as well as the structure, local bylaws, etc. When you partner with a skilled contractor like Peak Improvements, we’ll sit down with you to hear what you need and explore what suits your vision and budget to make sure you feel confident before moving forward.
Versatility Awaits!
One of the best parts about home renovations is the fact that they are incredibly versatile and can be tailored endlessly to get the job done perfectly. Every family is unique, as is every home, so the fact is…no two additions are exactly the same! With the right planning and vision in mind, there’s no shortage of options readily available. When you add on to your home, you’ll gain:
More Space!
Obviously, the number one goal of additions is to increase your area to enjoy, and no matter what you choose, you’ll be sure to relish the freedom to spread your arms in peace with your new room!
Guest Accommodation
Even though home visits might be tricky for the moment, there’s no reason to put off planning for the future and all the reunions we can look forward to having. Creating an extra guest room or even just ensuring there’s enough room for everyone to enjoy while they’re over can go a long way toward increasing comfort and making everyone happy.
Value Added
It’s worth mentioning here that, generally speaking, the main end goal of an addition isn’t to increase your property value. The reason being that most home additions are quite specific to the unique needs of the family and generally they are not significant enough to cause a large jump in your dollar amount on the market. With that being said, there are strategic renovations you can look at such as building or extending your garage that certainly boosts the allure of your listing down the line.
