Building a home addition involves constructing a building structure from the ground up and tying it into the existing home. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Often an architect and general contractor are required to design and manage the construction of the project. Expect to pay anywhere from $80 to $200 per square foot for this type of house addition. However, home additions often offer a high return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Garage Conversion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The garage conversion is a type of home addition that involves converting an existing garage into a finished living space.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-381 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg\" alt=\"Home Addition Bid Sheets\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Home_Addition_Bid_Sheets_Ad_250x250-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Use one of these <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">home remodeling checklists<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> and save time and money on your home addition project.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A garage conversion is less expensive to do than building on a room addition since the building structure and roof are already in place. In addition, electrical work is already roughed in, albeit you may need to add more outlets and switches. Also, in some finished garages the walls are already insulated and drywalled.<em> Get this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/room-addition-over-garage-bid-sheet\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">garage conversion checklist<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> to save time and money on your garage conversion project.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The only real negative about this type of home addition is that it\u2019s tough to make it aesthetically appealing on the exterior. A secondary concern is the fact that you lose a garage when converting your garage into finished living space. A home with an attached garage is much easier to sell than a home without.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Bump Out Additions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A bump out addition doesn\u2019t really create a separate room. Instead it effectively allows you to expand an existing room. This type of home addition, for example, is ideal for increasing the size of a kitchen or bathroom. Bump out additions require additional roofing. Often bump out additions are supported on piers or posts, versus a complete foundation. In terms of cost per square foot, a bump out addition is fairly expensive.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"47%\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-841 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Family_Room_Addition_1-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"types of home additions\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Family_Room_Addition_1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Family_Room_Addition_1.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The main reason for this is you don\u2019t get a lot of bang for your buck. Most bump out additions are fairly small, so the overall cost of the project divided by a small area equals a pretty high cost per square foot.\u00a0If you can afford it, it\u2019s better to spend your money on an entire new room addition than on a bump out addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Sun Room Additions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This type of home addition is a great way to create more living space on a limited budget.

Typically conservatory additions are priced higher than sun room additions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So before choosing to sell your existing home and buying a larger one to gain more finished living space, fully explore the various types of home additions and cost out one to see how much you could save in the long run.
