Your home is more than a place to live; it can be a lucrative investment. Whether you’ve owned it for a number of years, or recently purchased an older property, putting money into renovations and upgrades can significantly increase its value. What’s more, updating your home is likely to make it more appealing to a wider range of buyers and therefore make it easier to sell. However, it’s important to note that not every renovation pays back so handsomely. Very trendy or low-quality finishes can turn off potential buyers. We understand that your end investment is very important, but we do urge you to hire a licensed professional not just a price. Anytime you increase space that’s centrally heated and air conditioned, you increase the per-square-foot value of the house. Homeowners typically add a family room when their family has grown or because they’re dissatisfied with the configuration or size of their first-floor layout.

Other popular room additions include increasing floor space by adding a  second story room to your existing home, sometimes called a "pop-top." This can increase the value, functionality, and comfort of your home, without robbing you of lawn or garden footage.
