How to Plan for a Hassle-Free Home Addition by Brian Allen, President Home Builders Association of Northeast Louisiana
O
ne of the benefits of homeownership is the ability to customize and improve your living space to fit your needs. If your family is growing or if you need a little extra space, you may be thinking about a home addition. An addition can be a single room built onto the side of a home. Most home additions are bedrooms or bathrooms or serve as an area added on to an existing room. More space in your home can mean more comfort for your family. The key to a successful home addition is careful planning before the first day of demo. The following steps should be considered when renovating your home. Learn your building options. Every community is subject to zoning laws. How much or where you can add space to your home depends on zoning. You may be constrained by height restrictions, property lines, historicdistrict preservation
Complement your current floorplan. Take time to visualize the space and think about the flow of the room. The new area should complement, not compete, with your Examine the location. existing home structure.
