Start planning your addition before things heat up

Winter is an ideal time to begin planning a new addition to your home, because you'll be completely ready for construction once the ground begins to thaw. Home additions are a growing trend, because adding space to an existing structure is much cheaper than purchasing a new home and having to incur moving expenses. Plus, by creating a new addition to your house, you'll be able to be on the ground floor when it comes to customized planning so it can be exactly what you've envisioned for your new year in your new home. Here are a few options for home renovation worth considering for 2019:

Garage additions

Are you one of millions of Americans who have simply run out of room in their garage? Many people are even unable to park their cars inside, or can only park one. You'll save money that you might have to spend on a storage unit as well as saving your car from the elements by expanding your garage. Garage additions are a great way to create a lot of useful space that can even include an indoor workspace or a section for your lawn tools, bikes, or other sports gear.

Four season rooms

It's wonderful to be outdoors in nature, but sometimes the weather can be challenging. When it's too hot or too cold, or too rainy or too windy, you're forced indoors. Get the best of both worlds with a new four-season room. This new remodeling trend is a perfect way to expand a home without causing too much disturbance to the rest of the home. The result can be wonderful reading nooks, relaxed dining areas, or play spaces that will be the family's new hang out spot.

New rooms

Even if you found the perfect home in the perfect location, things change. Families expand, either with couples have babies or parents (or children) joining you to live together again. It's also becoming more common for people to work from home instead of going into the office. It can make a lot of sense to build a new room instead of moving from your beloved location. You may be surprised how quickly professional contractors can make your vision a reality.

Customized decks

It's not hard to fantasize about warm, outdoor barbecues and backyard parties in the depths of winter. So why not start planning now? A customized deck is the perfect thing to show off to friends, neighbors and family members at a fun, spring house party. You'll be able to plan it out exactly as you'd like. You – and your home – will be warm in no time.
