Attic/Basement Conversions for Added Living Space

Looking to add living space without changing the footprint of your home?

A basement or attic conversion is a great way to gain an extra bedroom or living space in your home. The basement or finished attic is also a great spot for a home office!

Although technically not an “addition”, this can be one of the most cost-effective ways to add practical living space.

The extra square footage of usable space could increase your home’s value. If you decide to sell your home in the future, families with multiple children or someone who works from home and is looking for a dedicated office space will appreciate the additional room. 

If you built an addition into the yard, your family would have less space to relax outdoors and your kids would have less room to play. Converting the attic wouldn’t affect the overall footprint of the house, so you wouldn’t lose any yard space, and this type of home addition is generally less expensive.

Home Additions: Sunrooms and Covered Porches

Do you wish you had a covered porch or sunroom to enjoy a sunny day? 

Or, are you a rain lover? Imagine curling up under a blanket on a rainy day with a good book. 

A sunroom is an addition to the side of the house that is usually a supplemental living area. Sunrooms typically can be closed off to the main part of the house with sliding doors or French doors.

A sunroom can give you a wide, panoramic view of your yard while providing natural light. Additionally, a sunroom can act as a greenhouse in the winter! Sunrooms are also great for adding additional living space to your home. Think of it as your own private sanctuary!
