Is your home beginning to feel cramped? Is it time to add additional space and upgrade your home’s decor? A home addition is a perfect solution for you and your family. Not only are you avoiding the cost of an expensive move, but you can increase the overall value of your home with a home addition.
With a few modifications to your home, you can add an extra bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or even sunroom. This can be achieved through a side split addition or side addition. A home addition allows you to add valuable square footage and allows you to create customized spaces and modern design features.
How Much Does a Home Addition Cost?
Home addition costs can vary based on the size of the project and the design features you want to include. Materials, cost of labour, permits, and any service upgrades will all play a role in the final cost of your home addition. For example, if you were doing a 300 sq ft room addition, you can expect to pay up to $120,000.
- Room addition: $300 to $400 per sq ft
- Garage addition: $250 to $380 per sq ft
- Sun room: $350 to $450 per sq ft
Your contractor will work with you to find the highest quality building materials to suit your budget so you can maximize your return on investment.
