Home Additions
When home prices are skyrocketing, getting a home addition to expand your space in San Jose is a wiser choice than purchasing a new house. There are many different ways you can expand your home’s living space, many of which you may not consider at first. DreamHome Remodeling & Builders has the experience and knowledge to make your home addition a reality in a way that suits your needs and improves the functionality of your home.
It’s common for families to outgrow their homes over time. When moving isn’t an affordable or desirable option, a home addition can make your old home the right fit. Common types of home additions include an additional bathroom, bedroom, kitchen expansion, or sunroom addition.
Whichever type of expansion you want to perform, you have more than one way to do it.
Types of Home Additions
The most common method of expanding your home is the conventional house addition. This is a multi new room additions that connects directly to the rest of the house. Once complete, this addition will look like it was part of the house since the beginning. Your conventional home addition can feature various different room expansions: bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, etc.
Depending on the scale, you may look into building an accessory dwelling unit or ADU. ADUs are a secondary living space on a property with a primary living structure. A common type of ADU is an attached dwelling. These units offer a variety of benefits for homeowners and residents in San Jose. Visit our accessory dwelling unit (ADU) service page to learn more.
The second type of home addition you can consider is a new room Add-Ons or bump-out. New room additions are the process of adding a single room to your house. Bathrooms and bedrooms are the most common types of room additions. Often, families outgrow their home or want to alleviate the stress of having one bathroom or need another bedroom because of more family members.
If the budget for a new room add-ons scares you, consider a bump-out. This type of home addition isn’t a true room addition but is meant to expand space in your existing home. You may choose a bump out to extend your kitchen five feet. This may not seem a lot but can make a world of difference for many spaces.
Finally, the last type of home addition you should consider is not a true addition to your home but rather a conversion. Many homes have attached or detached garages they may not use often. Converting your garage into a bedroom, living room, or small apartment can help you save money. Since the basic structure is there already, you can start converting faster than other types of home additions in San Jose, especially since house prices being the way they are.
