In the past year, your home has been transformed from a place to come to, to a place to stay in. Work, school, and even vacations are all occurring under the same roof. The temporary is becoming permanent. So, is it time to consider an addition?

Now, you have an excellent opportunity to create exactly what you want. You already love your home, now create spaces that are comfortable and functional. Add an office space, school area, exercise room, or entertaining area.

Let’s start with office spaces. Anyone who works from home knows how easy it is to become distracted or how embarrassing it is to be in a meeting with a lot of background noise. In considering an office addition, look at places away from high traffic areas, like the kitchen or family room. Garages, porches, attics, and basements could be added to create a private work area.

Many parents understand that children need a school/study space that is quiet and yet supervised. Enlarging a kitchen or family room space can allow for an open-air designated school or homework space to enable parents to monitor activity and children to be productive.

The most common additions are ones that attach to the back of a house. A significant advantage of this type of addition is the ability to connect the home to the yard. These additions can create great spaces to use for relaxation, entertainment, or exercise.

Remember, additions come in all shapes and sizes. You can not only add the existing footprint of your home, but you can build up and out as well, keeping the original footprint but adding space at the same time. Options are available to create the functional spaces you need.

A portico adds dimension to a flat facade, highlights a home’s entry point, and improves a home’s overall curb appeal. Here’s one we recently completed!

I started my business almost 12 years ago and from the beginning said I was going to make a difference. I have hired talented individuals that care about the end product and our customers. I offer them a full benefit package and competitive pay giving them some of the same advantages in life as the clients we serve. However, the disadvantage to me is that my product and service can cost more than my competitors. The clients that value this philosophy benefit in the end with what we call “The Wall To Wall Experience”.

This video sums up the challenges in our industry. The career opportunity has been minimized and as a result so has the quality of the service. We live in a society where we don’t value quality as we once did. We can buy things inexpensively and if it breaks just throw it out and buy another one probably for less. Things have become disposable and so has the way of home improvements. Your home is your biggest asset. My employees are my strongest asset. That is why we put those together to benefit our clients.

Please encourage individuals to explore the trades. There are good businesses out there offering real career opportunities in carpentry, plumbing, electric, Hvac and more!

“Wall To Wall Construction is a quality focused firm, dedicated to exceeding client expectations. A home can be a foundation for family and every day life, and when we enhance that experience it is truly rewarding.”

“Creating a yearly budget for home improvement and maintenance helps prevent overspending, and encourages you to put aside money for major replacements — such as new roofing or a kitchen appliance — that come up every few years.”

“Protect your home finances by knowing how much you’ll probably spend each year. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau says that average annual maintenance and home improvement expenditures are about $3,300 per household.”
