5 things to know about home extension projects:  

• Consult your local authorities to know about the current regulations for home additions. In some cases, you will have to apply for a special permit before starting the work.
• Make sure that the architecture of your extension is well harmonized with the rest of the building. This aspect will mostly affect the exterior part of your home, with the choice of windows, exterior siding and roof covering for this new section. Adding extra floor space to a house will increase its resale value, as long as the esthetical aspect is taken into account. It is also important to know that certain municipal or neighbourhood rules exist which regulate esthetical choices for exterior modifications on houses.
• Be sure that you are making a winning decision. Certain types of extensions are more advantageous than others.

These are the most financially advantageous home extensions:

• Cantilever extensions
• Towards the back of the house
• On top of the garage

The least advantageous extensions:

• Building an extension that doesn’t correspond to the house’s style
• Transforming a bungalow
• Enlarging an apartment

• Make a preliminary budget. Expansion projects generally incur considerable spending as there are many steps and aspects to take into account. To see whether your project is doable, calculate exactly how much money you will be able to devote to this transformation. This way, when you meet contractors for the quotes, you will be able to see if your ideas work with your budget.
• For a large-scale project, it is important to choose a contractor with whom you will establish a good level of communication. Meet several companies before you make your choice. By submitting your project to RenoQuotes.com, you will be put in contact with 3 certified contractors with whom you will set up meetings to get quotes.
