Have you been thinking about a room addition or a home addition? You may be having a baby or preparing for your mother to move in with you, and you just need a bit more living space.<\/p>\n

You’re not alone.\u00a055% of people<\/a>\u00a0do home renovations of some kind each year.<\/p>\n

This is an exciting time to choose how to build your custom home addition!<\/p>\n

If you’re ready to start, be sure to follow these tips for your home improvement project!<\/p>\n

Know Your Objectives<\/h2>\n

Before you get started with your\u00a0home addition,<\/a>\u00a0you need to know why you are doing it. What is the purpose behind the addition? Is it a necessity or a lifestyle desire?<\/p>\n

The objective may change how you design the floor plan and where you put the addition on your home.<\/p>\n

Get Your Legal Documents in Order<\/h2>\n

While you can get excited about adding a new part to your home, there is much more to do. For starters, you have to get your legal documents in order.<\/p>\n

Most likely, you will need to get a permit for any extension that has to be made to your home. You also need a copy of plot plans to understand where your property ends and begins to make sure you don’t infringe on your neighbors.<\/p>\n

Having all of this documentation will ensure you don’t do anything illegal or cause any complications.<\/p>\n

Know Your Budget<\/h2>\n

Before you get started, you also need to\u00a0know your budget.<\/a>\u00a0You could spend six digits on an extension, or you could spend a couple of thousand dollars, depending on the addition.<\/p>\n

This is why knowing your budget beforehand is crucial to know what you can do with the budget you have.<\/p>\n

Choose the Right Company<\/h2>\n

Once you know why you’re adding an addition to your home and your budget and have your document, you need to choose the right company<\/a>\u00a0to work with.<\/p>\n

You can ask your neighbors, coworkers, and other people you know for recommendations. You can also look online for local companies that have good reviews.<\/p>\n

Before you choose a company, it’s best to ask for testimonials from past clients so you know how the company works with clients and what you can expect.<\/p>\n

Plan for More Time<\/h2>\n

Realistically, these things take more time, and things often go wrong – materials could be delayed, the weather may get in the way, or something else could happen.<\/p>\n

Planning for a realistic timeline will ensure you don’t get your hopes up and frustrated as things don’t go as planned.<\/p>\n
