ADDITION: 1 + 1 = FABULOUS!
Ever feel like your home would be perfect if only it had that one room
that’s missing? Perhaps it’s an extra bedroom for when Mom comes to
visit, or a bathroom downstairs for guests when you’re entertaining.
Maybe you already have a family room, but it just needs to be a little
larger for your needs. If this sounds familiar, a home addition may be
the perfect solution for making life a little more comfortable.
The great thing about a new room is that you can plan it exactly the
way you want it. If you’re adding a family room or game room, why not
build a fireplace as well? This will quickly make it the most visited room
in your house. If you’re adding a bedroom either for visiting parents or
a returning college student, why not include an ensuite bath, which will
increase your home’s value as well as make for more enjoyable visits for
your guests.
As with any work done in your home, make sure that you do your
homework before contacting any contractors. It’s a good idea to obtain
estimates from three different contractors before deciding which one
to use. It helps to be as specific as possible in your choices in order to
get the most accurate estimates. Use a spec sheet to ensure that you
are giving all three contractors the same exact information. Using local
contractors is another great way to ensure that you’re getting someone
with a good reputation in the community. Another good idea is to
attend home shows where you can actually meet the contractors face
to face. It’s easier working with someone with whom you have a good
rapport.
The most important thing to remember in any home design project
is not to be too focused on the bottom line only. Many times the lowest
price does not result in the best‑quality job. Do your research to find
the best person for your particular project. ■
