Some homes just don’t have enough rooms to meet the growing needs homeowners and their families. One option is to sell the home and look for a bigger one, but, in Toronto, bigger homes come with a premium price tag. Another option is to plan and build a new home addition that will make the existing home larger and more functional for the entire family.

 

Common examples of room additions include the following:

• Home office
• Sunrooms
• Additional bathrooms
• Additional bedrooms or entire living spaces
• An indoor pool area

Obviously, building a new addition onto the home will provide extra space, but it can also provide additional sources of natural light and even rental income depending on how the new addition is used. For families having a new child, an addition to the home creates the space necessary to accommodate growing families. A new addition can also be built if older children move back home for extended periods of time.

 

Designing and building a new home addition will take time and money, but it is an investment in the home that is almost always favourable when compared to the frustrations and costs of moving to another home.

 

 

Planning a new home addition provides an excellent opportunity to customize the home to the unique tastes of the homeowners. Room additions can provide increased functionality and improve the overall enjoyment of the home.

 

Are you looking for the perfect home office? Take the time to design just the right work environment that promotes privacy and productivity. Do you have tiny closets which make it tough to store all of your clothes? Design a home addition with a walk-in closet to give you the space and organization you need. Would you love to add extra square footage to the home and increase the natural light in other areas of the home? Design an enjoyable and functional sunroom that maximizes the home’s exposure to the sun. Perhaps that sunroom will be built around a stunning indoor pool. With a home addition project, the choices are almost endless and the project can be as functional or as luxurious as needed.

 

 

The planning and the construction processes for the home addition are both essential to the success of the project.
