Additions: Bring Out Your Home's Potential

One of best ways to increase the living area of a home is by adding space to the structure. This can be accomplished by going up a story or out the side of the home onto the property.
One of the easiest ways to add interior space to a home is to look at an existing structure like a deck. Most decks already have seasoned foundations that may include concrete pilings. By building on top of a platform that has some height many steps are saved and there is room underneath to run electrical and plumbing. The underneath area can also be insulated and sealed off from the elements.
One of the most expensive ways to add space is to add another story. In reality this requires two separate operations: demolition and construction. This is because the roof has to be taken off before the new addition can be built.

The most popular ways to add space is to extend the home outward on the property. This addition can be out the front, back or sides of the home depending on the covenants and building codes for the area. In reality it is like building a new, small home with a foundation. When completed the little house will be joined with the main structure and either a wall portion will be taken out or a doorway put in as an access way.
One of the cheapest ways to gain space is to renovate the garage. Some people do not have need for one so this might not be an issue. The space gained is around 400 square feet and this is area with the walls and ceiling already insulated, wired and, some cases, plumbed. The double doors can be sealed up on the inside or a fake exterior put on the outside for continuity. In addition the smooth floor can be leveled and heated with in-floor radiant wiring or tubing.
