Reasons to Add a House Extension to Your Home
Home expansions add more space and value to your home. When you think about how to design an addition to your home, it's important to consider the reasoning behind the addition. Are you interested in future-proofing your home with an additional bedroom or living area on the ground floor? Or maybe you'd like to add an ADU for rental income. Another common reason for an addition is to create a home office or entertainment hub. No matter what your reason for expansion, the experts at Refresh are here to help bring your vision to life.

Will my home addition specialist take care of any required permits?
If you are planning on making structural changes to your home, you will need a building permit; specifically a master permit and most likely a variety of sub-permits. Your renovations and remodelling specialist can take care of this process for you, ensuring your design and build is in-line with local standards and regulations.

What materials can I choose from?
The material options for your home addition’s interior and exterior are endless - but some options are more popular than others. Materials that add character, yet are low-maintenance, are usually at the top of the list: hardwoods, concrete, stone and marble are common floor and wall material selections. Floor-to-ceiling windows are highly desired as they enhance the natural light and warmth within a home. Environmentally conscious homeowners are increasingly opting for repurposed building materials, where possible, in the form of tiles, doors, cabinets and reclaimed wood. Your home addition specialist will work with you to find the right materials for your style and climate.
