Thinking About a Home Addition?

Are you thinking about a home addition in your Nashville area home but you just aren't sure? Here are some things that you want to consider before adding onto your home!

The first thing you should do is to get several estimates - but understand that the lower estimate is not always the best! The devil is in the details, make sure you carefully understand what each contractor is providing, what might appear to be a lower price, could end up being substantially more. You don't want to skimp on something like your home addition!

Consider consulting  a Realtor or Appraiser! Are you putting on the room addition purely for your own benefit? Or are you doing it for resale value so you can sell your home for more? Don't add on to your home for a POTENTIAL buyer 10 years down the road, but resale value is always a concern. Not all room additions give back adequate resale value. A Realtor will be able to tell you how this added square footage (and the type of square footage you’re thinking of) will benefit you in the long run.

Remember that you’re building a mini-house! A room addition involves all of the same things that you find in new home construction: foundation, footers, framing, zoning, permitting, HVAC, flooring, plumbing, electrical, new windows, etc. The list goes on and on. Even if you are building a great room or living room (i.e., a room addition without services such as plumbing), you’ve still got other services that you cannot avoid (electrical, heating, cooling, and more).

Learn to think in terms of square footage cost: Room addition building is complex; it's not just as easy as putting a room on! The only way to make sure you are comparing contractor estimates on a level playing field is to compare on a dollar-per-square-foot basis. You’ll want to make sure that all contractors are bidding on the same thing, or your square footage cost comparisons will be all wrong. So, make sure that all contractors give you an itemized estimate.

If you are interested in adding on to your home. Tennessee Residential Roofing and Construction in Nashville has over 23 years experience in the field so you can be assured the job will be done in a timely fashion AND done correctly.
