Common Mistakes to Avoid When Constructing an Addition
Additions are an excellent home improvement idea, but careful planning and strict budget ceilings must be implemented. What could go wrong in the construction of your new home addition? Check out the common mistakes that most homeowners make when having a home extension installed. Avoid these mishaps for a faster and more effective home extension project.
1. Overlooking the kitchen. If you have a small kitchen, then have this extended first rather than focusing on other areas of the house. Kitchen extensions are a priority and should be one of the first rooms addressed in a remodel. Not only does the usability of the kitchen increase when its size increases, but so does its value.
2. Improper loft conversions. Lofts are a great home addition, but most homeowners are mistakenly hasty in their loft’s construction. This can lead to many important aspects being ignored, most commonly of which is the height of the supporting ridge. Most make the mistake of leaving the height of the ridge too low, not only making the spaced ys functional, but wasting money and resources.
3. Ignoring the designs. Many homeowners simply add extra extensions without considering professional designs that are proven to increase home appeal. This often results in unbalanced visual dynamics.
4. Making home extensions while ignoring repairs. This is a terrible move when there are urgent exterior or interior repairs which require attention. Before you ever think about adding an addition to your home, you must focus on rectifying its current functionality rather than merely extending its square footage.
