Sooner or later, most people find the need for a home addition to provide more room for their family. Even if you don't need the extra space, you'll find that a home addition can greatly increase the resale value of your home. A similar sized house with more number of rooms is always preferable to one with fewer rooms. An addition to your home can also help you plan for the future when your needs change. Adding on an extra kitchen for use during entertaining, or a study area for the kids, or a den for you, can greatly enhance the quality of your life too, making a room addition a value intensive project.
Before you plan out your home addition project, consider your plans over the next few years. If you intend to make additions to your property and immediately place it on the market, avoid extensive additions because the ROI isn't always guaranteed. There are certain room additions like a kitchen addition, basement addition and a bath addition that can recoup almost 100% of their cost anywhere in the country. A deck addition on the other hand, can fetch you varying ROI rated depending on the location. Whatever the reasons for room additions, it's most practical to plan a home addition if you intend to continue living in the home for a few more years before selling the property.
Certain home additions, like adding an extra bedroom can be necessary changes to your property. If you find that your children need their own rooms to avoid stifling each other, you'll find that bedroom additions are a cheaper alternative to moving. Other additions are not entirely necessary, but greatly enhance the quality of your life. For instance, a sunroom addition can help brighten your home, and provide a large space for entertaining or socializing. A beautiful custom sunroom addition that makes use of high efficiency glass, and top of the line wood will give you a beautiful sunroom that makes lounging a pleasure.

I need the work done this month Aug 2009 and and estimate this week. I have a fiberglass tub with shower surround that has a crack in the floor of the tub in the existing bath up stairs. A new mixing valve is needed in this unit also. Am interested in possibly building a 2nd bath into the basement also.
