Adding A Sunroom To Your Home

September 14, 2021/by embarkps

A beautiful sunroom can elevate even the most modest home. These rooms let in tons of natural light. Whether you’re thinking of enclosing an existing porch or building off your front entryway, a sunroom brings a lot of light into the home.

Sunrooms come in a few different varieties, including three-season sunrooms, four-season sunrooms and solariums. Three-season sunrooms are not well-insulated and cannot be used in the coldest months of the year.

Four-season sunrooms are well-insulated and are functional rooms throughout the winter. They’re more expensive than three-season varieties, but you’ll get more use out of them.

A solarium is a type of sunroom made entirely of glass. Because of the thermal technology to keep the room insulated, solariums tend to be more expensive than a four-season room. However, they can double as greenhouses for flowers that require full sunlight.

Adding A Second Story To Your Home

September 1, 2021/by embarkps

Adding a second story onto your current home is a huge step. If it works, it could nearly double your home’s square footage, turning your one-story into a two-story home. You could add on a bathroom and an extra bedroom in the new space or build out your dream master bedroom.

A second-floor addition is expensive, costing $100 – $300 per square foot. A second-floor addition is the perfect way to build up, not out. This could help if your property lines are tight.

Since a second-story addition is a complex process with a high margin for error, make sure you hire an experienced contractor. Check their references on similar projects, fully vetting them before hiring them.

Add Value With A Sunroom

June 2, 2021/by embarkps

\Sunrooms are often unheated rooms primarily made up of windows and designed to let you enjoy the weather without having to be out in it. It can be a great place to keep your outdoor plants safe during extreme weather conditions. They are simple to install because they do not require any additional heating or cooling routing, though you might need an electrician to run wires to power any lights or ceiling fans you choose to install. An unheated sunroom can cost around $15,000, though the price goes up depending on the materials you use. Wood framed sunrooms are less expensive than aluminum ones—those can run upwards of $22,000.

A four-season room is similar to a sunroom but is hooked into the home’s heating and cooling systems. This requires an additional contractor to set up the room’s HVAC. Collectively, these rooms tend to run around $20,000, making them slightly cheaper than a high-end sunroom.

Home Additions: Master Suites

January 8, 2020/by embarkps

Additions can bring homes into the 21st century. What builders once thought of as unnecessary or optional features, home buyers now view as prerequisites for purchase.

Take for instance the master suite. It tops the list of remodeling projects for many area homeowners.

In previous eras the master bedroom was simply a place to sleep, and closet space was often kept to the bare minimum. If the master bedroom included a private bath, it was often small and utilitarian in its fit and finish.

Today the master bedroom is viewed in a much different light. A home within your home, the master suite is now a luxurious private retreat filled with personalized amenities. A spacious walk-in closet provides ample storage for all of your wardrobe needs. A cozy seating nook is a great place to unwind and read the newspaper or scan social media. And let’s not forget a spa-quality bathroom to wash away your stresses after a long day.

Incorporating all of these amenities into your home can sometimes pose a challenge. Walk-in closets and luxurious bathrooms can eat up a lot of real estate. If you can’t capture space from neighboring rooms, why not consider a master suite addition?
