A conventional home addition is a multi-room structure built onto the side of a house or above and permanently open to the main house. A house addition can be many areas: great room, dining room, family room, bathroom, guest bedroom, or master bedroom—even a complete apartment.

A Bump Out is a single room structure built onto the side of a house meant for a single function, such as a bedroom or bathroom. Sometimes it only expands the size of a single room on the existing home.

Conversions are probably one of the easiest and cost-effective ways of adding extra living space and value to your home. The framework is already in place, and most likely, all that it needs is some small-scale construction and internal cosmetics.

Consider this: On average, the addition consists of a basic room with necessary electrical wiring and little to no plumbing. Features such as bedrooms and bathrooms with luxury fixtures start raising that square footage price. Every door, window, and wall adds to the price. The more luxurious the design, the more it adds to the cost.

But every dollar you spend in a Room Addition is an investment. By increasing your living, you are adding value to a house. It is no coincidence that making your home bigger (or just so that it feels bigger) will add value; you might be surprised by what can be done within the existing footprint.

So, whether you’re investing in your home with the addition of an extension, loft conversion, basement conversion, or by reconfiguring the layout of your home for a more open plan feel, find out how to add space to your home, increase your quality of life, and make your home more desirable if your willing to sell.
