Do you have an open high ceiling area in your 2 story residence? Today’s new 2 story home designs often include a high ceiling area towards the front of the house that actually includes an open area large enough to extend the existing 2nd level floor line out and construct an additional living area or bedroom. I personally feel this is one of the best returns on investment that a homeowner can make in today’s market. The cost of construction for this type of project is about 40-50% less than adding a completely new addition on the outside of the house and the return on the additional square footage is the same. With the right design and necessary structural modifications this can be one of the most useful and profitable decisions a family can make and can translate to what can be a much needed modification to their residence as their family grows or their needs change. Instead of buying a new home, build that equity!
