Expanding Your Current Living Space​

​

Maybe you and your family can exist perfectly well in your current living quarters, but would like more space to spread out. Maybe you could benefit from a bigger kitchen, bathroom, or dining space for entertaining guests. Maybe your frequent houseguests or family members living under your roof could use the extra privacy of a second master suite. Whatever the need, a home addition may a solution.

​

​

Adding Rental or Peerspace Income​

​

Perhaps your family is perfectly happy with the current space but you’d like to make extra rental income by building a self-contained apartment connected to the house and renting it out to a tenant. Perhaps the size of your lot doesn't allow for a new guesthouse but or a south-facing studio with lots of windows and natural light would be a great way to make extra income by renting your space for photography through platforms like Peerspace. A conventional multi-room or a single room home addition is has served that purpose for some of our clients. 

​​

Expanding Your Home Vertically: Attic or Second Floor Addition​

​

The starter home you bought may not be big enough to accommodate a growing family. Having kids is a frequent reason our customers seek to build a home addition. Perhaps you only have enough bedrooms if the kids double up. As kids get older, they might want their own space. Adding an extra bedroom to your home will afford them just that. Perhaps the best use of your space is to expand vertically, in which case converting your attic or building a second floor addition might be the best option. 

​

Creating a Specialized Playroom or Hobby Space​

​

Perhaps you want a large room for your new pool table or ping-pong table. You may just want a  place to house all your exercise equipment and allow you to work out in the privacy of your own home. By building an addition you can add the extra space to your home and customize if for your passion. Perhaps you already have ideas for your unused basement space. Look to the Chicago general contractor near you to finish your basement and transform it into the ideal playroom, family room, or a space to pursue your passion.

A Coachhouse Addition

​

A coachhouse provides extra living space that can be used for various purposes. It can serve as a guest house, a home office, a rental unit for additional income, or even as living quarters for aging parents or adult children. A coachhouse addition will also significantly increase the value of your property. The additional living space and functionality it offers make your property more appealing to potential buyers. Thinking about the future? Building a coachhouse allows you to future-proof your property. As your family's needs evolve over time, the additional living space can accommodate changing circumstances such as expanding families, home-based businesses, or the need for caregiver quarters.
