Step 1: Get documentation
Start off by gathering all important documents you will need for your home addition. Consult with the building department at your village hall to receive information on permits and code regulations. Secure a copy of your plot. Determine where the addition is best suited on your property and make sure it falls within property line regulations set forth by your municipality. You may also want to reach out to your homeowners insurance provider to notify them of your plans.Step 2: Finance your project
Second, consider your budget and financing options. According to Home Advisor, the average cost of an addition is $40,915. In reality, home additions can range from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand, depending on the job. While a home addition may seem out of your financial reach, researching financial options may change your mind. Be sure to check out the following avenues:- refinancing your home

Next, take your time to carefully research contractors. Reputable contractors can be hard to find. Unfortunately, there are horror stories of contractors who go MIA before jobs are completed. Others may cut corners to make the most out of their profits. So, what should you look for in a contractor?
Step 4: Have fun designing!
Your addition allows you the creativity of starting fresh. By working with your contractor, you can create a perfect at-home spa . Or perhaps you are adding another bedroom, or upgrading your kitchen space. Whatever your home addition may be, your contractors collaborate with you to design a space within your budget at taste.
