A second-story home addition comes highly recommended by home remodeling contractors. The project’s initial costs may be significant, but the long-term benefits for homeowners can certainly outweigh the upfront expenses. 

Here are five benefits of a second-story addition.

1. Additional Living Space

The extra square footage from a second-story addition can be used for various purposes. You can designate the bedrooms to the upper floor to separate these rooms from your kitchen and other communal areas, which can take up all the space on your first floor. As a result, you can enjoy a bigger kitchen, dining area or living room. 

2. Expansion Within Your Lot Boundaries

By opting for a second-story addition, you can avoid boundary disputes with your neighbors and obtain building permits more easily. This makes the process a lot less complicated, giving you a better chance of completing the project on time.

3. Design Opportunities

You can consider the added space as an opportunity to reinvent the different rooms in your home. With a bigger floor area, you can place additional furniture and other features to make these spaces feel more like home. 

4. Enhanced View

An upper floor would give you a better vantage point to view the surrounding landscape or cityscape. Consider building a deck or a balcony on your second-story addition, and make sure you have enough windows to maximize your view.

5. Higher Resale Value

A second floor will increase the value of your home. If you’re looking to sell your property, you should definitely consider a second-story addition.
