3 Tips for Choosing the Right Addition Size

Do you need more space in your home but don’t know how to get it? You’re not alone! Many people find themselves in the same situation. Adding on to your home can be a great way to gain more space, but choosing the right home addition size is important. So, let Centennial Construction & Remodeling Services, Inc. provide three tips for choosing the right addition size for your home.

1. Evaluate Your Needs

Adding living space to your home can be a great way to create extra space and increase the value of your property. But, before you start construction, it’s important to take the time to evaluate your needs and choose the right size for your home addition. First, consider how you plan to use the new space. For example, if you’re looking for an extra bedroom or home office, you’ll need a certain amount of square footage. But if you’re simply looking for a little extra living space, you may be able to get by with a smaller addition. Secondly, consider the scale of your home. A large addition to a small house may look out of place, while a small addition to a large house may go unnoticed.

2. Consider the Size of Your Property

One important factor to consider when planning a home addition is the size of your property. If you have a small lot, you’ll need to be careful not to overload it with an oversized addition. Not only will this make your home look awkwardly disproportionate, but it could also decrease its resale value. Conversely, if you have a large lot, you have more leeway to choose a sizable home addition. However, even in this case, it’s important to strike a balance between adding enough space to meet your needs and ensuring the addition looks harmonious with the rest of the house. 

3. Research Different Types of Additions

Once you’ve determined your needs and considered the size of your property, it’s time to select the right type of addition. There’s everything from sunrooms, garage additions, bump-outs, and even second-story additions. Because you already know what you need and how much property space you have, making this final decision should be easy! Still, if you find yourself struggling to make a decision, then you know it’s time to bring in the professionals.
