Custom Concrete: FOUR Tips from a Room Addition Specialist

1. INVEST IN A QUALITY FOUNDATION AND STRUCTURE.

Some finishing touches can be upgraded later, such as crown molding, window treatments, or furnishings, but adding square footage is an important investment. Go the extra mile when it comes to items like your foundation, framing, and insulation.

2. CONSULT A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL.

Consulting a professional can help you with areas you may not have thought through completely. Professional drawings and specifications also aid in the permit process, make for a more predictable construction process, and usually yield better results. If you’re searching for a reliable contractor to collaborate on your room addition, we recommend members of the Builders Association of Indianapolis (BAGI), Home Artisans of Indiana (HAOI), or National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).

3. CONSIDER THE VALUE AND CREATE A REALISTIC BUDGET.

Before breaking ground, consult with your real estate agent to explore how this investment can add value to your home both financially and aesthetically. Consider a 10% buffer to allow for some unknowns along the way.

4. BUNDLE YOUR WORK AND PLAN AHEAD.

Discuss your long term plans during the design process. Consider renovating the adjoining parts of the home at the same time. Not only will you be glad that your existing spaces are updated, but you’ll realize some cost savings while crews are already on site.
