Make the most of your space! There are many creative ways to add more functions to your home.

Whether you’re looking for an extra storage solution or a new activity, there’s sure to be something that works for you.

Here are some favorite home upgrades you can try:

1. Screened-In Porch or Sunroom Addition – A screened-in porch or sunroom addition can be accomplished in one of two ways: by adding framed screens or windows to an existing porch, or by building a completely new one from scratch. Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy the endless benefits it brings, including:

• Seamless integration with the beautiful outdoors (without the bugs!)
• A restful space away from the technologies that dominate main living spaces
• A uniquely beautiful space for entertaining family and friends
• Additional living space

2. Extra Bedroom or Primary Suite Addition – This kind of addition project provides you with greater opportunities for comfortable living, entertaining, and planning for the future. An extra bedroom can also easily double as a great work-from-home office.

3. Adding Space and Architectural Interest – Many of us love our homes and the location, but have been there for a long time and are looking to update both the interior and exterior of the home to accommodate a change in our lifestyle. 

4. Kitchen Addition – You may need to tackle a kitchen addition project to increase storage space or living/working space in order to bring your perfect kitchen to life. Some popular kitchen addition ideas that help accomplish this are walk-in pantries, breakfast nooks, or bump-outs to accommodate large islands (or multiple islands!) or appliances. 

5. Finished Basement – An unfinished basement is a blank canvas that you can transform into whatever kind of space you’d like it to be. Whether you want to create a movie area, bar area, or game space that’s great for entertaining, or you’d like to repurpose it for another bedroom, bathroom or quiet office space — the options are endless and the space is already there for the taking. 

The perfect time to tackle a home addition project is upon us! Are you ready to get started?

With the right resources and a bit of elbow grease, anything is possible! 🛠
