There are so many changes you can make to your home that it’s often difficult to know what you’ll spend constructing it. Remodeling and home additions for your Richfield, OH, home can add serious value and efficiency to your place by making room for a new kitchen or additional storage.
We’ll help you out by discussing some of the factors that go into what the addition to your Summit County home could cost.
When researching home additions, you’ll find there are a few ways to add square footage and space to your home. Let’s review what potential costs the most or least when it comes to adding a home extension or addition.
A ground-level addition is typically the least expensive home addition or extension you can make. Your professional remodeling company may not have to add much, if any, structural support to your house. These often involve extending a kitchen by removing a wall.
By a second-story addition, we mean building an additional story on the house. This is more common amongst houses with a single level and a basement. These kinds of additions are perfect for adding lots of space to your home and often more than one room.
A second-story addition does cost more than a single-story, ground-level addition, as you’ll likely need to add structural support to the home to carry the weight of an additional story. Some homeowners favor a second-story addition due to the ability to add more to the home. It can be more cost-effective per square foot.
Basement additions tend to cost the most and are generally recommended when you don’t have the option to build up or out. In order to add to your basement, you’ll need to lift the house with jacks, then remove the foundation, and dig deeper into the ground to build a new foundation.
The best answer is still that “it depends.” We would love to talk to you about your remodeling ideas. You should reach out and schedule a consultation with us so we can discuss! We can also talk to you about the value that a basement addition or basement remodel adds.
