Improve Your Home: Signs You Need a Room Addition

Posted by Daniel Mizrahi on Tuesday, September 08, 2015

Is your house is starting to feel smaller than it used to feel? Perhaps your family is growing, perhaps you’re entertaining more, or perhaps what you need to feel comfortable is simply different than it was when you first purchased your home. Regardless of reason, your first thought might be that you need to purchase a new home. For many families, however, this simply is not the best option. 

You may be in an ideal location for work, family, or lifestyle or you don’t want to deal with the stress and the cost of buying and selling a home. If you want to stay in a home that is starting to feel cramped or overcrowded then adding a room addition may be the perfect option. 

How do you know when it’s time to add or expand a room? Below are a few questions to ask yourself to find out:

Adding A Bathroom

• Do the number of people in your home outnumber the bathrooms? 
• Do you have a bathroom hog (or two) in the family, or find yourself running late because there’s a line to use the bathroom? 
• Are your bathroom shelves and towel racks overflowing? 
• Do you have a half-bath that desperately needs to be turned into a full bath?

If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then you would benefit from a bathroom addition.  If you crave more privacy, consider turning your master bedroom into a master suite by adding an adjoining bathroom. Open Hand Remodeling is the place in the Pasadena area to make your bathroom remodeling ideas turn into a reality. 

Expanding Your Kitchen

• Is your kitchen not functional because of its size?
• Are you short on storage or pantry room?
• Is there simply not enough room to cook, clean, or entertain the way that you would like to?

Building a new kitchen (or expanding your current one) is also the perfect excuse to update the look of a kitchen: with more room to enjoy it, you can finally institute the kitchen remodeling ideas of your dreams, from the appliances to those custom kitchen cabinets you’ve been eyeing. Update and modernize your space as you expand it and create the comfortable, functional kitchen of your dreams.

Building a Bedroom

• Has your family has grown since you first bought a house? 
• Are you in desperate need of more bedrooms?
• Do you love having guests stay for the weekend but don’t know where to put them?

Having a general contractor from Open Hand build you a new bedroom is an easy solution. Even if this isn’t you, a room addition can serve several purposes: as an office, a playroom, a personal gym, or a future nursery. Personalize and expand your space with a bedroom addition.

Other Additions
There are plenty of other reasons and ways you may want to expand parts of your home. Maybe you like your dining room, but wish it was bigger for when you entertain family and guests. Maybe it’s finally time to have a room dedicated to laundry instead of trekking to the basement every day. Maybe you just want a little more room to breathe. Contact Open Hand Remodeling Company.
