The 4 Most Popular Types of Home Additions

There are many reasons why homeowners opt to have home additions built, from welcoming a new baby into the family to taking in an aging parent or loved one. While home additions are sometimes needed to address a lack of available functional space, other times the reasoning behind the upgrade is more aesthetically driven, or done to increase the resale value of a home. If you’re considering a home addition, the first step is to do your research, and below are four of the most popular types of home additions to get your creative juices flowing.

1. Kitchen Addition – Kitchens are among the most frequently used rooms in any home. From cooking, cleaning, crafting, entertaining guests, and helping your kids with their homework, your kitchen plays a big part in your everyday life, so it’s no surprise that bigger, better-looking kitchens usually elicit bigger better-looking offers.
2. Bathroom Addition – Adding a bathroom to your home can get rather involved, given all the plumbing work that it will require. But, real estate experts say that most homeowners wish their homes had an extra bathroom, so even if you only add a half-bath, chances are you’ll get most of your money back.
3. Bedroom Addition – It’s never a bad idea to add a bedroom to your home. Even if you don’t use it as a bedroom, chances are you’ll find a way to put the room to good use, and if you do ever decide to put your home on the market, an extra bedroom will boost your home’s value for sure.
4. Second Story Addition – When there’s no place to go but up, that’s where you should go! Perhaps the most dramatic of all home additions—at least from the outside—adding a second story to your home is one of the best ways to enhance your home’s curb appeal while also adding lots of functional space.
