Choosing a Home Addition
When deciding whether to do a home addition on your Cape May County home, you need to take a hard look at your budget and do some careful planning. Consider these 4 questions:
Will your family size change?
You need to consider if you plan to grow your family in the future, or if you might need to have your parents live with you as they get older. Or if you have kids leaving the house soon, you might consider a smaller project, such as an entertainment area, or a luxury bath.
Will your financial situation change?
If you are early in your career, you might want to invest more now, since you’ll likely make more money as you advance. If you are closer to retirement, you might want to scale back on the project to avoid increasing your monthly expenses.
Will a home addition add real estate value?
If you plan your addition well, you will recoup most of your investment through the increase in your home’s value. Projects that add bedrooms or full baths tend to get back most of their investment.
What is the cost of money?
If interest rates are low, you might want to consider a bigger project. If interest rates are currently high, it’s best to scale to something small.
Common Home Addition Questions
Is it cheaper to add up or out on a house?
Building out is significantly less expensive than building up. On average, it costs between $140 to $180 per square foot to expand your home’s footprint outwards. When you build a second or third floor onto your home, you can expect the costs to range from $180 to $250 per square foot.
What is the cheapest way to add on to a house?
Finishing a basement, attic, or garage is one of the cheapest ways to add a room to your home as you won’t need to add a foundation, roof, or structural elements.
Are additions to a house worth it?
Yes, but it varies based on several factors. How much value a home addition adds to your home depends on both its previous and new size. The type of addition you add is also important.
What is the best addition to a home?
Converting a basement into a living area tends to add more home value compared to other projects.
What is a bump out addition?
A bump-out is a minor addition to a house that increases its total square footage but doesn’t reach the scale of a full addition with multiple rooms. A bump-out can be as small as two or three feet that push out the side of the house, or as large as a single room.
Is it better to add on or move?
Although choosing to move or remodel is more than just a financial decision, adding onto an existing house beats moving from a cost perspective.
What is a good size for a family room addition?
To provide an open space, family rooms should have high ceilings and ample room for seating and entertainment. A good standard size for a family room is about 12 x 18 feet, which can comfortably fit a family of six to ten depending on furniture selections.
Can you build a home addition yourself?
While it’s possible to plan a project yourself, hiring and supervising the subcontractors on your own, this is a daunting task that many homeowners end up regretting. Your room addition will probably go together much more smoothly if you hire a remodeling contractor like Shelton Home Improvement.
