Full Addition

A full addition is the most expensive route and takes the most time. Those aren't necessarily negatives, if the full addition is what you need and it's in your budget. This type of addition involves adding an entirely new room, complete with power, HVAC, and everything else that comes with a regular room in your house. Common full addition rooms are bedrooms and family rooms.

A Bump Out

A bump out addition is the expansion of a present room. They are common in kitchens and living areas. With a bump out, additional space is acquired by building out a little further, often into the yard. A bump out seldom adds a lot of extra square footage but it's generally enough to give the room the extra space a homeowner is seeking. 

A bump out usually requires knocking out a wall for expansion, but they are an inexpensive solution and not too time-consuming

Room Conversion

A room conversion creates a new use for a room. A bedroom becomes an office, or an attic becomes a bedroom. It's a great way to make use of space as seasons of life change through the years. 

Similar to a room conversion is an ADU (additional dwelling unit), which converts a space in a home into another small but complete living area. 

Sunroom

The sunroom is a very popular home addition choice. It's the perfect way to bring a lot of natural light into the home and enjoy the outdoors without actually being outdoors. 

Sunrooms vary in size according to space, budget, and needs. The beauty of a sunroom is its many uses. The basis is a room with many windows, but it can be used for anything, including a reading room, entertaining room, an office, or simply extra seating. With a sunroom, you can choose temperature-controlled options or only use the room during certain times of the year.
