Garage Second Floor Addition Contractor
For Above Garage Additions
Whether it’s an extra bedroom, a combined mudroom-laundry room, or an in-law suite, many homeowners would like to add space to their existing house. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done.
It’s hard to know where to start when you’re looking to add more living space to your home. You could expand outwards, but that can be expensive and disruptive (not to mention that your property may not have the room).
What if there was a way to keep your home’s existing footprint while creating extra space? The answer may be right above your garage ceiling. An above garage addition might be the perfect spot for a new guest room, man cave, or bedroom addition. Our team of experienced contractors can complete the job quickly and without disruption, so you can start enjoying your new space right away.
The Benefits of Adding a Guest Room Above A Garage
Adding a room above your garage has numerous advantages. Here are some of the most important considerations to make when deciding whether or not to construct a guest room:
More Space with No Additional Footprint
The main advantage of adding an above-garage extension is that it doesn’t change the size of a property. Rather than expanding out, you may simply extend the current structure of your home by building upward. The garage’s existing framing, along with the exterior walls and garage ceiling, are useful for tying the new room into the existing structure. As a result, the size of your lawn and house square footage remains unchanged.
Cost Savings Per Square Footage
The additional space can be used for anything from a game room to a home gym. When you build a living area over your garage, you don’t have to worry about disturbing an existing finished area below, since the structural modifications, such as new support posts, beams, and concrete foundations, are all optional.
Positive Impact on Curb Appeal
Over-the-garage improvements have a significant influence on the size and appearance of your home. We can tie the new extension into your home’s style, while making sure everything meets the building codes. Installing a well-finished garage bonus room, given the size of a typical two-car garage (12 feet by 20 feet), can significantly improve the aesthetic appeal and the resale value.
