Remodeling Technologies constructs beautiful additions to your home.

What do you do if you love your neighborhood, but your family has grown too big for the size of your home?

Maybe you have aging parents that you would like to have living with you, but you don't want to take away all their independence.

Putting on an addition may be the perfect solution to making your home more livable, while increasing its value.

But before you start, there are a couple of things you should consider.

Find out about building restrictions

While you are still in the "thinking" stage for your home addition, find out from your town engineer or building department if there are any local zoning ordinances that could affect your project, such as lot setbacks (i.e. the minimum distance required from the adjacent property lines or public right of way to the outermost portion of the structure) and height restrictions. Also, remember that your home addition will require a building permit.

Additions come in all shapes and sizes

Home additions can include a bedroom, bathroom, sitting room and a private entrance -- although the most popular home additions involve adding an extra room onto an exterior wall. Sunrooms, garages and extra bedrooms are common additions, as well as living rooms, dining rooms and home offices.

You may want to consider building up instead of losing lawn and garden space, or building a two-story addition that will accommodate an office or bedroom on top of the garage to maximize space. Other additions, such as carports, porches and decks often require less disruption of your home, yet will still increase its functionality and value.

Make sure you choose a contractor that's right for the job

If the expansion will affect other areas of your home or it involves significant structural changes, you will want to hire a contractor with the proper educational and project management experience. You should also consider the contractor’s licenses. More information on selecting the right contractor for your project can be found on this site at "Choosing a Contractor".
