Home additions Colorado Springs come in a variety of forms. There are several different
types of home additions for you to consider. If you are in the market for additional living space
in your home, you want to make sure that you have thoroughly thought through all of your
options. See below for some of the most common types of home additions.
Basement: While finishing your basement is not technically a home addition, it does add
additional living space to your home. It is an easy opportunity to add more livable space
to your home without having to expand the existing footprint of your home.
Conventional home addition: A traditional home addition is a major renovation project
that adds a multi-purpose room to your home that is permanently open to the rest of
the house. This type of a home addition is subject to building codes and various
inspections. This can add to the timeline and budget of the project.
Room addition: A room addition can also be known as a “bump out” instead of a more
conventional addition. This type of addition of meant for a single function room such as
an individual bedroom or a bathroom. A bump out can be used to add a small amount of
square footage to your kitchen, etc. This is essentially a simpler version of a
conventional home addition. A room addition is still subject to building codes and
permits and should be taken seriously.
Garage conversion: Similar to finishing your basement, a garage conversion does not
involve increasing the footprint of your home but uses your existing space in a better
way. A garage conversion places the traditional door with a solid wall, ceiling, floors, etc.
When considering home additions Colorado Springs a garage conversion is a great way
to add additional living space or a bedroom to your home. Sometimes a garage
conversion can even go as far as adding an ADU (accessory dwelling unit).
