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.
When it's a matter of investment in addition to your home, an extensive addition may not always justify the cost if you sell the property immediately upon finishing the addition remodeling project. A small kitchen or bathroom addition will most likely give you greater ROI than an extensive second story addition. You will enjoy maximum value for money if you undertake as many extensive additions as you can, like a complete second story addition, enjoy your new spaces for as long as possible, before putting it on the market. Also, take into consideration that your investment may include upgrades to your heating and cooling system, and changes to the exterior of your home.
You can make any number of additions to your property, depending on the space availability and your budget. A family room addition can act as the center of your house, where busy family members can gather at the end of a hard day to relax or watch TV. A custom sunroom addition may need special construction requirements to make sure that it receives sunlight all through the year. The sunroom addition can also double as an entertaining area when friends drop by. You can also use a single room addition for more than one purpose. For instance, your new sunroom can also double as a pool room, family room and entertaining area.

Moving to KC (looking to buy a home in Parkville). The house we are considering is new construction with about 1200 sq ft of unfinished basement. What is the ball park square footage price to finish with framing a bedroom, installing a bath and the rest as media room with bar? I realize this is general, but I want a general idea of costs. Thanks so much. Look forward to hearing from you.
