Planning a room addition? Whether you’re welcoming a new family member or tired of cramped living conditions, there’s a lot of “room” for creativity.

With such a major project, hiring professional room addition contractors is your best bet at success.

Step 1: Explore Your Options

Out of the many room addition types out there, the most common ones include:

  • Grand master bedrooms
  • Second-story additions
  • Playrooms
  • Home offices
  • Family rooms
  • Garage expansions

The most popular ones are master bedrooms and playrooms. When you select the type of room addition, always factor in your personal experiences and vision. It is your place and the addition should be what you need it to be—not something off a magazine.

Step 2: Plan the Build

A room addition is a major construction project; you have two options: build up or build out.

Build Out: One of the most popular kinds of additions, this involves adding a room at ground level. Building out extends the perimeter of your property outward, causing the least disruption in the flow of the house’s existing blueprint.

Build Up: In this type of addition, homeowners add a room to the second story of the house. This way, you can expand your living space without really increasing your home’s footprint.

Step 3: Blend Your New Addition

Blending means selecting building materials that match and complement the existing ones. It’s not always as easy as it sounds. There are a number of options in the market with the most popular ones being:

  • Wood Flooring: It is the mark of a good contractor to identify and match the wood species of your old floor to your new one. Whether it’s the width of each strip or the stain color of the wood try to get as close a look as possible.
  • Tile Flooring: Besides customization there are pretty slim chances of you finding the exactsame match for the tiles in your house. Your best bet is likely ceramic tiles that are easier to match at any retailer.

Note: It is a good idea to check up on your local building regulations before undertaking any construction projects.

The Hefty Investment Cost Can Be Brought Down

With labor and raw material costs continually rising, room additions become hefty investments for homeowners. Hire a contractor who is willing and capable of working with your budget.

The good news is that there are ways to lower the project costs. This includes using a property’s existing blueprint to your advantage, smart site choice and so on. You will need the guidance of a professional contractor to smoothly navigate this.
