Additions are a great alternative to moving to a larger home. A well planned addition to your home can make the necessary difference in your living space needs with less upheaval and expense as compared to searching for and moving to a larger home.

Building an addition can allow you to stay where you are already comfortable. Good neighbors, good schools, good location and anything else you might hold of importance to your life and that of your family can more readily be addressed by considering an addition to your already existing home.

Additions can be accomplished several ways. You might consider:

• expanding the footprint of your current home by adding an addition
• possibly consider adding a 2nd story over your existing ranch
• maybe add an office space or master-bedroom over the garage area

These are all options of where and how additions might work on your home.

Additions require experience. A good addition is one that when finished looks like it was always part of the house from the very beginning. Anything less would not be acceptable.
