With this home, we turned this covered
porch
(off the back of the home) into an enclosed addition for more year round
living space.
There are 3 golden rules when it comes to additions or renovating
Let
Reality Govern Spending: Use the existing size and value of your
house compared to the rest of your neighborhood to help determine
how much to spend on the project.
Focus
on Blending Old and New: Find ways to give the addition the same
look and feel as the existing house, while using modern materials
and observing modern zoning regulations and building codes.
Avoid
the Pitfalls of Over-Extending: Determine which parts of the job
you can sensibly do yourself and which should be subcontracted to
professionals.
