Ten Things to Know About Adding a Room

Here are ten of the most important things to know or think about when adding a room:

• The average cost of adding a room is just over $40,000 so be ready to spend the necessary money on this endeavor.
• If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, you can install a sun room, a budget-friendly addition to a house.
• Consult with an architect beforehand to make sure that the design is cohesive with the rest of the building.
• Find a trustworthy contractor. They’ll take a normally difficult process and simplify it, which is especially useful if you don’t have construction knowledge.
• Make sure that you or your contractor go over your town’s rules so that you don’t break anything, such as a height limit if you’re planning on expanding upward.
• Understand that this is a process that can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Be prepared to take the precautions necessary, even if it has to include sleeping elsewhere for the time being.
• Take into account how much space you’ll have to add for your new room.
• Make sure that the room will add value to your house and then determine how much value it will add.
• Because the room will add value to your house, it will also raise your taxes.
• If you’re adding a ground-level room, you’ll want to keep the floor of the new room at the same level as the floor of the rest of the house.
