Home Addition Seattle

In general, these are the best additions in terms of ROI:
Master suite addition – 63%
Bathroom addition – 53%
Sunroom addition – 49%

The easiest way to reduce costs when planning an addition is to use existing space. Consider adding the extra bedroom in the attic or using the basement for a family room. Another way could be to reconfigure existing areas.

Almost all municipalities have rules in place regarding what you can build and where. In most cases, you are not allowed to build anything within 20 feet of the curb. If your home is next to a wetland, find out how close you can build to it. There may also be restrictions as to how tall your addition can be. Check these restrictions out before starting on your project for a new floor, a second story, kitchen or bathroom design.

If using an existing space for your master bedroom is not an option, letting your imagination fly regarding a master bedroom addition can be quite costly. Make a list to determine what features you need. Do you want a space to unwind or is a large closet more important? Is a king-sized bed a must? With this information, create a sketch. Work on a realistic budget and add to it a 15% contingency fund. And, if you can afford it, go for it. Remember, creating a master bedroom is much less stressful than selling your home, buying a new one, and moving.

These days, there is no limit to the materials available to create the most beautiful homes. Starting at the bottom, decide whether you want hardwood, laminate, carpet, or tile. Then, select the baseboard trim you like. When it comes to the walls, decide whether you want crown molding and whether you want to paint or wallpaper. Your ceiling could also be a point of interest if you add some interesting features such as a coffered ceiling. Don’t forget the lighting. A dark room can take away from all the nice design.
