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.

How much do home additions cost in Portland & Lake Oswego? 

The best way to attain a cost estimate which is accurate to your specific requirements is to meet with your local home addition specialist. However, as a rough guide, we have categorized prices below:

  • Bedroom/Office/Living space additions sit around $200 per square foot*
  • Bathroom additions range from $50,00 - $50,000+*
  • Kitchen additions range from $75,000 - $150,000+*

Projects which include luxury materials, hidden damage or which require an increased amount of time and labor will cost more. 

*These costs are rough estimates and are subject to change.  

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. For further information regarding house extension permits, please contact your local specialist or see portlandoregon.gov.

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.

5 Tips to Getting Started with Your Home Addition in Portland

  1. Determine your goals for your additional space. Is this addition a single room or an entire floor? This is where you'll also want to determine your realistic budget.
  2. Will you build up or out? Decide how you plan to increase square footage whether it's by addition additional floors or expanding out.
  3. Get acquainted with permit requirements. Before you let your imagination run wild, it's important to assess what is feasible in your area. Your Renovations Consultant will be able to assist you here.
  4. Get the right people on the job. When you choose to work with Refresh, you'll have access to your own Renovations Consultant who will stand by you every step of the way. This person will provide their network of expert contractors to build an addition, as well as top-notch suppliers.
  5. Understand how your addition will increase your home's value. You are putting lots of time and money into these renovations, so you want to know what additions will best serve your property for years to come. Your Renovations Consultant can help you determine how your home's value will be affected with every change you make.

Refresh’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local House Extension renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

Step 1

Initial Consultation

The first thing your House Extension renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation. In this initial consultation, you can throw all of your ideas on the table - your consultant will then tailor them to your property and budget.

Step 2

Scoping and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your House Extension consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up. This allows your House Extension consultant to assess whether or not your ideas are feasible, and allows you to point out any changes you would like in the design - before any work begins.

Step 3

Detailed Planning and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made. If you would like to make any further changes, now is the time to do so. From there, your House Extension consultant will present you with a fixed-quote as well as a contract.

Step 4

Build Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life. Your House Extension consultant will do everything in their power to keep your project on schedule so that it can be completed within a set timeframe and budget.

Step 5

Project Completion

The final stage is for your local House Extension consultant to ensure that all Council documentation is completed and you have the necessary Code of Compliance documentation. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!
