According to the 2017 Residential Landscape Architecture Trends Survey, the three most popular outdoor structures for this year are expected to be: decks, fencing, and pergolas. However, porch additions and garages are also expected to be in demand. Space is a commodity that many homeowners want, which is why a home addition is a great way to get this space without spending money on a new home.

Not only that, but adding extra room or outdoor entertainment space to your home can increase the value of your property. When making a home improvement, it is important to think about how it will impact your home’s value as well as your quality of life. Porch additions, for example, make a great sun room for relaxation and a location to store your belongings. There are other benefits to home additions as well.

Add New Life To Your Space
If you’ve lived in your home for at least a decade, chances are it might feel like it needs an update. Both interior remodeling or a home addition can add new life to your living space. That could mean increasing the storage space, adding energy efficient features, or just giving the deck an expansion. Whatever route that you choose, you’ll feel like your home is a little bit newer and more exciting than it was before. If your family has been growing over the past few years, then it’s time that your house did, too.

Save Money Compared To Moving
As stated at the start, moving is expensive. A home addition can be a less costly and less stressful way of “up-scaling” than moving to a new home. It’s a convenient solution that will allow you to get the space you need in a much cheaper way. A bigger garage for more vehicles and work space is always going to be cheaper than moving into a new home that already has a workshop. 

Improve Aesthetic Appeal
You, and homeowners like you, want your home to look good. Adding porch additions to a home can increase its overall aesthetic appeal, and it will give it a fuller and more expansive look. Exterior renovation projects tend to be much less invasive than interior renovations, but if you like to spend a lot of time outside, then its impact on your quality of life can be equally positive.

If you’re considering projects to improve the value of your home while also giving new life to it, consider an addition. Adding a structure like a porch or a deck can be a great investment that won’t completely drain your bank account.
