Have you ever been waiting outside the bathroom for your teenage daughter to finish up? How about getting dinner going and not having the space for two people to be in the space at the same time? These are all things that as a family grows can make a house feel too small. When you purchase a home you are likely looking at what you need at that particular time. You may not be taking into account the birth of another child or being the team mom of your son’s soccer team. This means that more and more people need to be able to be in the house and function in the space. That can be hard if you did not think about that when you bought the house. Moving is not the only option you have to get a larger home with more space. You can have space added to the house and increase the square footage to the home you are in and love. This is a great way to get the space that you may need as your family grows and their needs expand. Anytime Remodeling outlines how to add square footage to your home.

Does Adding Square Footage Add Value?

You might be wondering how you can add square footage to your house and what that would look like. The most common way to add livable square footage to a house is to add a room onto the house. That means that you assess the property and the home and determine where you would be able to add the space to. The great thing is that if you use a professional to do the work you can rest easy that the work will look seamless and that is will fit perfectly with the rest of the house. They can match yup the style and the décor of the rest of the house to make it seem like the added square footage was always there. This is the best way to open up the house and get the space that you needed. Remember; whether you’re building onto your home or renovating an unfinished space, a home addition adds livable square footage, which increases the value of your home.

Is a Bump Out or Room Addition Worth It?

Now that you are making a plan to add a bump out or room addition for more square footage it is important to create the new layout. The added space may break up a room that is already functioning in the house. That means that you need to design the interior of the house to utilize the space in the best way. This might be creating a new bedroom, bathroom or even expanding the living space. You want to make sure that you layout it out with a professional so that it all makes sense and you are happy with the space when it is completed.

Is it Worth Putting an Addition on My House?

The room addition or the added square footage is something that can extend how long you can live in the house. It also makes the house better for the family and when you have guests over as well. Further, as mentioned above, adding living space increases your home value too.
