Room Add-on

Planning and Design

​

Purpose and Functionality: Determine the purpose of the new room—whether it’s a home office, mudroom, sunroom, or entertainment area. The layout should maximize natural light.

​

Architectural Consistency: Ensure the new room blends seamlessly with the existing structure in terms of architectural style, rooflines, and exterior finishes.

​

Structural Considerations

​

Foundation and Framing: The new room will require a solid foundation and framing. This includes pouring concrete for the foundation and constructing the walls and roof framework.

​

Insulation and Weatherproofing: Proper insulation and weatherproofing are essential to ensure the new room is energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.

​

Interior Finishes

​

Walls and Ceilings: Choose materials for the walls and ceilings that match or complement the rest of your home. Options include drywall, wood paneling, or even exposed beams for a rustic look.

​

Flooring: Select flooring that suits the room’s purpose and matches the overall aesthetic. Options include hardwood, tile, carpet, or luxury vinyl.

​

Custom Features

​

Built-In Storage: Incorporate built-in shelves, cabinets, or closets to maximize storage space and maintain a clean, organized look.

​

Custom Woodwork: Add custom wood elements like trim, moldings, and built-in furniture to enhance the room’s character and elegance.

​

Electrical and Plumbing

​

Lighting: Plan for adequate lighting, including overhead fixtures, task lighting, and accent lighting. Consider smart lighting systems for added convenience.

​

Electrical Outlets: Ensure there are enough electrical outlets to meet the needs of the room’s intended use.

​

Plumbing: If the new room includes a bathroom or kitchenette, plan for the necessary plumbing installations.

​

Heating and Cooling

​

HVAC Integration: Extend your existing heating and cooling system to the new room, or consider installing a separate system if needed.

​

Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to maintain air quality and comfort.

​

Finishing Touches

​

Paint and Decor: Choose paint colors and decor that reflect your personal style and complement the rest of your home.

​

Furniture and Accessories: Furnish the room with pieces that suit its purpose and enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal.

​
