Affordable Houston Room Additions Solutions 

To enhance your living space and increase the worth of your property, a room addition can be an ideal solution. Whether you want to turn your attic into an additional room, extend the size of your bedroom, or enclose your outdoor patio, a room addition can significantly affect your family’s lifestyle and requirements.

If you feel that your home has become too small for your growing family’s needs and your lifestyle is cramped due to limited space, it might be time to consider adding a room or two to your home. You should assess your home’s structure and property size, and seek the services of a skilled room addition contractor to help you meet your family’s additional space requirements.

Expanding Utilities

A room addition usually requires expanding your home’s existing utilities. Your heating and cooling, electrical and plumbing systems will need to accommodate the new space. The expansion can get complicated for two main reasons:

1. The equipment that runs these systems for your house, like the furnace, air conditioner, and electrical service panel may not be large enough to accommodate the expansion.

2. The new wiring and plumbing may be different than the existing wiring and plumbing in your house, especially if you live in an older home.

Your contractor will do a calculation based on a number of factors including location of windows and doors and cubic living space to determine whether your existing equipment can handle the additional load needed for the addition. If the existing HVAC system is too small, you will have to choose between upgrading your existing system or installing a separate unit for the new space. Split systems work well for room additions.

Your electrician will inspect your existing electrical service panel to see if it can handle the additional circuits for your new addition. If it can’t, you will have to upgrade the panel or replace it with a larger panel that can handle the electrical load for lights, appliances and outlets in the new space.

Room additions are a great way to transform your home and increase your living space. Even small additions can yield big results, particularly in and where three or four feet can make a big difference. If you’re considering a room addition, talk to a licensed, who can help you address your space needs, construction concerns, and building costs.
