There are many numbers of reasons why people make additions to their property, and lack of space is just one of them. A growing family with expanding needs will greatly benefit from an extra bedroom or two, but you can also enhance the quality of your life by making a sunroom addition for entertaining and socializing, a kitchen addition to help with the extra cooking load during parties, and a spare bathroom addition for convenience. Besides, the resale value of your home can increase dramatically when you have more rooms for specific purposes.
Although additions to your home can enhance your property value, the best time for a home addition project is when you plan to stay in your property for few more years before selling it off. You can never be entirely sure of the ROI at the time of selling, so it's wise to enjoy your new room additions for a while before you consider placing it on the market. If ROI is the number one priority, consider kitchen basement and family room additions that offer the greatest return on investment. For instance, a new master bed room addition ranks lower down the line in terms of ROI, although it can greatly enhance your life style.
You can make any number of additions to your property, depending on the space availability and your budget. A family room addition can act as the center of your house, where busy family members can gather at the end of a hard day to relax or watch TV. A custom sunroom addition may need special construction requirements to make sure that it receives sunlight all through the year. The sunroom addition can also double as an entertaining area when friends drop by. You can also use a single room addition for more than one purpose. For instance, your new sunroom can also double as a pool room, family room and entertaining area.
Moving to KC (looking to buy a home in Parkville). The house we are considering is new construction with about 1200 sq ft of unfinished basement. What is the ball park square footage price to finish with framing a bedroom, installing a bath and the rest as media room with bar? I realize this is general, but I want a general idea of costs. Thanks so much. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello. I am trying to find out how much it would cost to convert my 3rd bedroom into a single car (attached) garage. It was once a garage but was converted into a third bedroom so it is built to be a garage in the first place. I think all it would be is ripping down the front and putting in the track and door. Please email me with cost and time estimates.
