Design Build Remodeling Group of Maryland

Before making any home renovations, thorough planning and research is a must. You should fully understand what’s involved with your home improvement project. It helps to learn the pros and cons of home additions.  

The Pros

1. With home additions, you don’t have to look for a new home if there is something you are not satisfied with in your current house. With a reliable contractor, additions can make your home life more enjoyable and convenient without moving.

2. You can design a space that is just the right size and type for your family. It is possible to have the addition tailored specifically to match your lifestyle instead of relying on what is currently available on the market. Depending on the lot size and city bylaws, you can build the amount of additional living space that you need – so long as it is within your budget and meets the regulations.

3. As you progress with your addition, you can ensure the project matches your budget by completing it stage by stage. For instance, a kitchen remodel can be completed by taking up only one component of the project each time.

The Cons

1. You may think that renovating your home with additions will automatically increase your home’s property value. However, this is not guaranteed and is a common misconception. With additions, your bigger space will cost you more in energy bills, higher property tax and increased maintenance costs. 

2. Home additions are not necessarily convenient and easy. Depending on the size of your home and the complication of your additions, it can be a lengthy process.

3. The stress and pressure of having complete control over the design can result in bad decisions.
