Room Addition Methods
Choosing the type of room you add to your home is the first step in completing your room addition project. The second part is choosing the method used to add that room. For many, they choose to add to their home’s square footage by adding a room to the side or back of the house. This is known as the contemporary room addition and the most common method.
Still, there are other methods to consider when adding a room to your home. Other ways of adding room additions to your home include adding a second story, converting an existing room, or building a room over the garage.
These options are great solutions in certain situations, such as having no way to build horizontally on your home. Your neighborhood’s houses could sit very close to each other, allowing no way to expand on the ground level. Converting rooms is a great way to save on costs. Consider converting your attic, basement, or garage to save on your budget.
