Do you ever feel frustrated about a lack of space in your home? If yes, you are not alone, as people are always looking for supplemental space. Should you encounter this dilemma, consider adding a family room, which could provide you with the extra space you need. Ivy Lea Construction, an esteemed contractor in Tonawanda, NY, custom builds family rooms to give you and your family the extra space you need.
One of the main reasons people end up moving is because they feel too cramped. What was once a cozy little house now seems less functional and less ideal because there’s more people and more stuff in it as parents have children, and those children want space to run around and play with their toys. After a few birthdays, Christmases and other celebrations, you’ll start to wonder what you can do with all of your family treasures and surplus items.
Adding a family room gives your growing clan some extra space to relax, store things, and watch TV. Rather than putting your family through the stress of moving to an entirely new home, or building an entire home from scratch, an add-on family room is something that can be done relatively fast and affordably. It will also increase the overall value of your home if or when you choose to put it on the market.
People who add a family room generally add one on to the back of their homes, creating a brand new room with cathedral ceilings, more windows to let the sun shine in, and a sliding door to the outside where a new porch or deck is added on for barbeques and summer lounging outdoors.
In Western New York, a majority of homes were constructed decades ago, dating back to the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. These were smaller cape cods and such. As you know, these past few decades have seen homes, in general, get bigger and bigger.
Rather than buy an expensive new home that lacks the nostalgic value of your current abode, why not have Ivy Lea Construction add on a nice, new family room to your current house? A new room will make your house feel more up-to-date, give you much needed extra space and improve the overall value of your investment.
