When Your Home Needs TLC Call TLS
Are your space needs becoming bigger than your home size? You essentially have two options: sell your house and buy a bigger one or do a home addition. Of course, home additions are less capital intensive and hence popular. In fact, according to Zippia, 76% of Americans completed a home addition during the 2020 pandemic.
With that said, home additions disrupt the normal functioning of a home, so certain times are more suitable for a home addition than others. If you're wondering when the best time to make an addition to your home is, read the following considerations.
Industry experts say that summer is the best time to build an extra space in your home. Since the project might involve demolitions, punching holes, and interrupting the HVAC system, you don't want to deal with a gaping hole in your house in the winter. Therefore, sunny weather is most suitable for construction rather than rainy days when you might have to pause projects.
Since summer is a popular season for remodeling, material costs might increase. Therefore, you should consider purchasing materials before summer arrives.
If seasons aren't the metrics you use, then new beginnings might be the alternative. Most people set goals and fresh starts in the new year, like new body goals or new career goals. A home addition might give you the fresh start you desire.
For example, adding a four-season room is a fantastic choice if you want a space to improve your mental health. This type of room allows sunlight to seep into your house year-round. You can add plants and comfortable furniture and spend time reading, knitting, painting, or another relaxing activity in your new space any time of the year.
Maybe you want to do a significant home addition, such as adding a floor to your bungalow. You could use your vacation time to move out of the home and give your contractor ample time to build the additional space. This plan ensures that no one is at home when the noisy construction ensues. Just be sure to hire a trustworthy contractor to follow your wishes to the last detail.
