For the thousands of Americans who add bedrooms, play areas, study rooms, home offices and private dens to their homes every year, home additions can provide an easy way to extend living spaces without the need to move. An addition to your property can be the ideal solution for an expanding family looking for more space without the need to relocate. Even if you have no desire for increased space, you can boost the resale value of your home by making an addition to your house. A home with additional bathrooms, sunrooms, spare bedrooms or family rooms is almost guaranteed a higher price in the market.
When it's a matter of investment in addition to your home, an extensive addition may not always justify the cost if you sell the property immediately upon finishing the addition remodeling project. A small kitchen or bathroom addition will most likely give you greater ROI than an extensive second story addition. You will enjoy maximum value for money if you undertake as many extensive additions as you can, like a complete second story addition, enjoy your new spaces for as long as possible, before putting it on the market. Also, take into consideration that your investment may include upgrades to your heating and cooling system, and changes to the exterior of your home.
Additions to your property can give great value for money if you can find two or more uses for a single room. For instance, a custom sunroom addition can give you a space for entertaining and socializing with friends, and can also be used as a family room at the end of the day. You can also use your sunroom as a conservatory by placing potted plants and herbs, and also as a pool room. A bedroom addition can provide much needed private space if you have more than one child, while a garage addition can be used not just to park your car, but also as a work area to indulge in your hobbies and crafts.

I am selling my house. I need to replace my whirlpool tub in my master bath. It is a corner whirlpool tub that is 60 inches by 60 inches. It is 18.5 inches tall. I have seen a nearly identical tub at Lowes (but it is 22 inches tall). Please provide an estimate for replacing my tub or installing the tub from Lowes.
