Home Additions

Basic Home Additions-

First floor addition - Second Story addition - Inlaw Apartment addition - Dormer addition - Room over garage addition - Split Level/Tri Level Addition - Garage Conversion - Basement Conversion - Garage addition

Home owners who want home addition remodeling can hire a general contractor (most do) The contractor will take care of all the paperwork, materials, labor & complete the project ready for a Certificate of Occupancy.

Or Do-It-Yourself (DIY). Some do all of the work. Many choose to have a contractor build a shell (all exterior work completed) & then finish the interior work with their own labor. You can also do some of the work yourself & hire others who have more expertise. - i.e. plumbers, electricians - to comlete the remodel.

If you decide to hire a contractor he/she will secure building plans, permits, provide all labor & materials, cleanup the debris & of course guarantee the work.

Ebooks explaining the right way (better planning, spend less & have a better design) are available here in these Home Addition ebooks.

Each type addition requires nuanced changes in your planning. Each book guides you through the process of buying a very expensive item & explains how to eliminate many land mines. You will find plenty of tips & advice that will ease the way through a complex purchase.

If you decide to tackle the job (or part of the job) yourself I have written a DIY room additions book that will guide you through the process.

Those of you interested in Garage Conversions may be interested in my DIY Garage Conversion material.

And last but not least there is the infamous Confessions of a Home Remodeling Contractor. A general information e-book about how to buy home remodeling.
