First Floor Home Additions

"A home addition is not
an expense, it is an investment"
A first floor home addition is one of the best investments
you will ever make. I call it an investment because that is exactly what it is. Better
than bank interest, better than a stock.
After 25 years building first floor additions I have
never seen a homeowner lose money by adding an addition to his home.
First floor additions are the most popular type addition simply because
they can be easily adapted to the original house design. Adding a bedroom or extending an existing
room, adding a bathroom & adding a family room are the most desired by the average
homeowner.
Adding to the rear or side of the house is by far the
most prevalent simply because it easily adapts to extending living space to any kind of room you
need.
Building a first floor on the front of the house is less
prevalent because it is usually more expensive to do so & frequently there are issues with
property set-back limitations. The front addition is more expensive because it almost always
entails new front doors & new steps & walkways. All are relatively expensive
items.
Planning includes blending in roof design, foundation,
siding, windows, doors etc & a host of large & small items. These additions do not come in
a box, wrapped up & ready to use. Each addition is custom built to your
specifications & those specs include many, many options & choices.
It has been my experience after giving thousands of estimates to
homeowners that most have no idea how to buy an addition. They know little about planning
& design & haven't a clue how to get the cost down to an affordable price.
It takes more than getting three estimates & pick the low price
which is what the majority of the homeowners do. There is nothing difficult about buying an
addition if the correct simple method is spelled out for you to read & absorb.
You will save thousands of dollars by learning how easy it is to
do it. I can show you how to buy a quality remodel at the lowest price available in your
area.

I purchased your e-book "How to plan, design and
complete a room addition over your garage" a few
months ago. This was the best money I have ever spent.
Thank you for making your wisdom and insight
available to novices.
