Second Story Addition
There are several things that need to be taken into consideration before building a second story addition. Local codes must be reviewed, as laws may prohibit the building of second floors in the event that they create shade issues for neighboring homes. Often, neighbors or homeowners’ associations must be consulted to ensure that the new addition conforms to the general aesthetics of the area. You’d be surprised at how much your neighbors’ opinions can affect the look of your addition! Further, the foundation and exterior walls of the existing house will need to be strengthened, and this requires structural approval from the city. This is why it’s vital that you hire an experienced contractor like J.A.Y. Construction.
Master Suite Addition / Master Bedroom Addition
Master suite additions give homeowners a retreat where they can go to escape the stresses of their everyday life. Additionally, adding a new bedroom to the home should increase its square footage and overall value. Master bathroom suites include extra planning because plumbing might be needed in order to add fixtures such as sinks, showers, bathtubs and toilets. These fixtures may increase the value of the addition dramatically, especially if fixtures such as a spa tub or a custom shower are included.
In-Law Unit Addition
There are many reasons that adding a fully contained living space to your property might make sense. Maybe an older member of your family needs a place to stay. Perhaps you have houseguests that stay just a little bit too long? A twenty-something child that isn’t ready to leave the nest? Or maybe it’s just an opportunity to rent the unit and make some extra money. Whatever the case, J.A.Y. Construction stands ready to help you make the most of your home’s extra space.
