How Much Can I Afford?
Establishing a budget is crucial. The cost of home additions varies widely depending on the project type and materials used. To avoid financial strain, assess what you can afford without sacrificing other areas of your lifestyle.

Will the Addition Blend with My Current Home Design?
Can I Handle the Time and Disruption Involved?
Do I Have the Necessary Permits and Permissions?
Home additions must comply with local building codes and regulations, which vary by state. Failing to secure the proper permits can lead to costly fines, legal issues, or even a complete halt in construction. Identify what permits you need for your project, whether zoning approvals, structural permits, or inspections.
Navigating this can be daunting, especially if you’re unfamiliar with local regulations. Bluegrass Haven simplifies this process by managing all permitting details, from understanding zoning laws to securing the necessary documentation.
Why Are Home Additions Worth the Investment?
Did you know a well-executed home addition can recoup as much as 63%-64% of its cost in added home value? Adding a new bedroom or expanding a kitchen can yield a high return on investment, making these projects some of the most profitable home improvements. If you’re considering selling your home in the near future, a home remodeling and addition can increase its market appeal and value.
Statistics also show that over 84% of homeowners report a stronger desire to be in their home, and 69% experience greater enjoyment after completing a home addition. They are not only investments in property value but also in everyday comfort and enjoyment.
