Room Additions
and Remodel
Room
additions and remodel is an interlinked process. When you are
going through room additions, you are remodeling your house
to some extent whereas when you are carrying out remodeling,
the process may include room additions. Both room
additions and remodel projects are as hectic
as the new home construction procedure. Sometimes, it may turn
out to be more troublesome, if the renovations are done when
the residents are around. Here, you need to minimize the disturbances,
besides keeping water and electricity supplies as usual.
Room
Additions: Do’s And Don’ts
People mainly undertake
the room addition projects when the present home is not able
to offer enough space for all the members of the family or when
the family has grown in size. In a nutshell, when you require
more utility space and do not want to change your present habitat,
then you opt for room additions. Room addition can turn to a
nightmarish experience, if the construction project is not undertaken
in a very systematic method. If you are not confident enough
about the accomplishment of the project yourself, you can hire
some professionals.
There
can be several kinds of room additions. Your
room addition can be as small as 100 sq ft or as vast as 10000
sq ft. Sometimes, you may happen to find some unique features
of the house, which you were not even aware of when you started
to build the house from the scratch. The main blunder that people
commit is that they cannot match the floor lines. It definitely
looks odd when the two adjoining rooms have floor lines of different
thickness. The same is applicable with the roofline as well.
Do not just extend the heating and cooling system in the additional
rooms. Upgrade the whole system instead, as the functional area
of the old ones was limited only to the older portions of your
house.
Remodel
Your House
As Home Addition Contractors we recommend making an excel spreadsheet to log expenses. It’s easy for you to get carried away with the design process and once you start looking at tiles that can cost $6 a Sq Ft you will find in no time at all the expenses can sky rocket. So put the numbers in to your excel spreadsheet so you can track and see what you are spending. Any good Home Addition Contractor will be happy to also help you out with this and will even do it for you once you hire them. It’s one of the benefits from hiring a good contractor; they can manage the budget for you and keep you on track so you don’t over extend yourself financially. Also try to remember if you are adding more size to your house it will increase the price to decorate it. For every extra sq ft you add it’s in cubic FT and what we mean by that is the expensive of adding another Sq ft of carpet, paint to the ceiling and walls it all starts to add up. So this is why a good Home Addition Contractor like our staff members here will take all this in to consideration when you are planning the remodel, we make sure you are aware of the expense and you don’t build yourself a room addition to the point where you might have to pick cheaper products to finish the space once the addition is built.
Remodeling a house is often like moving in a new house. Remodeling is a phase where you can apply all your imagination to transform your old house into a dream home. Also, be a little calculative when you have scarcity of space or budget or both. Try to understand what your exact requirements are when you are remodeling not for aesthetic reason only. Then calculate all the steps accordingly. You can also ask for suggestions from your neighbors or may seek professional assistance. But remember the plan for betterment of the house will be completely different from the remodeling plan to beautify the house you are living in.
Budget

additions and remodel. You need to maintain
the budget strictly. Otherwise, you just cannot have a control
over the expenses you are going to incur for both the projects.

remodel.
