For the thousands of Americans who add bedrooms, play areas, study rooms, home offices and private dens to their homes every year, home additions can provide an easy way to extend living spaces without the need to move. An addition to your property can be the ideal solution for an expanding family looking for more space without the need to relocate. Even if you have no desire for increased space, you can boost the resale value of your home by making an addition to your house. A home with additional bathrooms, sunrooms, spare bedrooms or family rooms is almost guaranteed a higher price in the market.
Before you plan out your home addition project, consider your plans over the next few years. If you intend to make additions to your property and immediately place it on the market, avoid extensive additions because the ROI isn't always guaranteed. There are certain room additions like a kitchen addition, basement addition and a bath addition that can recoup almost 100% of their cost anywhere in the country. A deck addition on the other hand, can fetch you varying ROI rated depending on the location. Whatever the reasons for room additions, it's most practical to plan a home addition if you intend to continue living in the home for a few more years before selling the property.
Custom sunroom addition that blends perfectly with the rest of your home can give you an impromptu entertaining area that can also be used, by placing pots and plants, as an indoor garden. Your sunroom addition should be carefully set up to take maximum advantage of natural sunlight. New design features include roof vents that open the ceiling automatically when the sunroom becomes hot. A new kitchen addition can be built along the same lines as your existing kitchen, but on a scaled down version. You will need a larger deep freezer, and may be even a built in bar for entertaining. A family room addition can be a brightly lit and ventilated space that allows for TV viewing and other family activities.

I would like to convert my garage into an office. I would like to raise the floor so that it matches the house. The garage has a bathroom that also needs to be raised. Inside the garage is AC, and gas water heater. Gaage has already been enclosed by previous owner. Would prefer someone with references in garage conversions, so I can see your work.
