Generally speaking however, there are three primary reasons for home additions and most people fall into one of these categories.

Growing families

It is no secret that at a certain age, kids like to have their own space. Perhaps your children were fine sharing a room when they were toddlers, but now they require more independence.  Or, perhaps you now have more children or step children living in your home than you did a few years ago. Adding an extra room or two can go a long way to preserving family harmony.

Another way that households are getting bigger these days is that elderly parents are more commonly coming to live with their children. While there are a lot of benefits to this type of arrangement, it can start to feel cramped after a while. By adding a room or even an entire granny suite, parents or other family members can not only have their own space, but it allows them to feel more at home as well.

Growing needs

Throughout your life, the needs of you and your family will change. Perhaps you are finding that you are in need of a garage either to shelter your vehicle or for extra storage. Maybe you are able to spend more time at home and would like to have a sunroom. Or perhaps you are entertaining more and require a larger kitchen.  Or perhaps you’ve recently started working from home and require a separate office space where clients can visit without having to walk through parts of your living space.

If you feel like any part of your home is not meeting your needs, then it is natural to dream of having more space. Adding one or more rooms to your home, is one way to meet those growing needs.

Growing income

In some cases, putting on an addition is not so much a need as it is a want. And that’s ok too. As your income grows, you may find yourself in the position to make changes that you have been wanting for some time.

This type of renovation can add to the enjoyment that you get from your home, but it can also significantly add to your home’s value.

Since interest rates are very low right now, this could be the perfect time to take advantage of them and get that extra space that you’ve always wanted.

While there are many reasons for home additions, the most important reason is that you have a particular vision for your home that you would like to see fulfilled. Whatever your reason, the expert team at The Reno Pros is here to help. Call us today for a consultation.
