Adding a room to your home is no small endeavour. It might seem too overwhelming a task to even consider. But with small steps taken before you begin, it can become an exciting project while adding value to your home. If you are considering a home addition in Chicago, give these steps some thought. You might be more ready than you think.
Figure what room you most want to be added on to your home. Is it time for an expanded, updated kitchen? Would a new master bedroom give you a more luxurious home experience? Are you considering an entire second-story that could almost double the size of your home? Or maybe just a sunroom addition to enjoy the cool nights? Let your imagination run.
Next, a home addition in Chicago starts with a plan. Once you have considered the room you’d like, draw a rough design. There are free computer programs that can also help with this step. Again, let your imagination go. Look through home add-on designs for inspiration. If you need to be pulled back a bit, let the contractors or bank do that. Hold on to your inspirational ideas. Show them to the contractors. For now, dream big. Include doors (existing or new), cabinets, shelves, windows, or anything you’d like to see in the room.
One final step for your dream-big home addition is to make a final plan for when you’re able to give the house up to the building process. When you make your first contact, you will need to have options to fit their availability.
