IF YOU LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE BUT DREAM OF HAVING MORE SPACE WITH A CUSTOM HOME DESIGNED TO SUIT YOUR STYLE AND NEEDS, UPDATING YOUR HOME MAY BE THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR YOU! DETAILS MATTER MAKING SPACE One of the main reasons that homeowners move or build is because they want more space. The great news is that you can add that space to your existing home, allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love without sacrificing your dream home. Adding a second story to your home not only doubles your existing living space, but can drastically change the look of your home for a more luxurious look as well. Adding an addition may seem like a daunting task but it doesn’t have to be. The experts at Modular Home Additions specialize in making the process as quick and painless as possible. They walk you through the planning stages and help get everything together for you. The walls are pre-built in sections so that when it comes time to begin the work, they can have the old roof removed and the second story ready to finish in as little as 3 days! - Modular Home Additions, www. modular.ca CREATIVE FEATURES Custom homes often have creative design features like double-sided fireplaces, stone feature walls, panel-ready appliances and other unique touches that really make the home unique. To create this unique touch in your home, you don’t have to redo everything. Instead, choose one unique feature you would like to focus on and make it stunning. Consider which areas of the home will be most visible and choose a feature that will create that WOW factor!
