What Do You Need to Know Before Adding Onto Your New Home?
January 28, 2015
If you’ve recently purchased a new home or are just about to, you may be dreaming about adding on or serious renovations. While these projects can be lots of fun and give you more of what you want from your home, they can also be expensive. Take these questions into consideration before taking the plunge.
What does the renovation schedule (and inconvenience) look like? The thought of an addition on the home is wonderful, but don’t forget to count the cost. Not just in dollars, but in the time you’ll have part of your house ripped apart for building and demolition. If you can’t afford to have loud noise in your house throughout the day, maybe it’s best to wait on that added room you’ve been wanting.
How does it affect the resale value of the home? A lot of amateurs jump into home renovation projects prematurely, without really weighing whether or not the new addition looks like an original part of the house. You don’t want potential home buyers raising eyebrows about the quality of the addition. So be sure to have a professional design and build the add-on.
Are there other ways to achieve your needs without having to add on? Adding on a room to an existing structure can be a costly endeavor. So talk with a contractor or architect before committed to the renovation. Ask about innovative alternatives to getting more out of your existing space. They may have idea you’d never thought of, like how to maximize basement or storage space.
