Adding a room to a house can be done in a couple of different ways. The homeowner can have a designer or contractor look at the area, develop a plan, and give an estimate for the cost. That is usually has the process is done. Depending on the size of the room, and the type of the room, that can be an expensive undertaking. A large Kitchen Addition in Fairfax VA, for example, would incur the cost of running the plumbing, adding the wiring, and setting up the new appliances. Costs would be lower if a small living room was added, because there would be no need for the plumbing, and the outlets for the room could be on the existing wall of the house.
Adding a room can also be done within the existing structure of the house. A closet or alcove, for example, could be eliminated to add a half bathroom off the second floor landing. Costs for that type of project would be considerably less than knocking out a wall and building a whole new room. That may even be considered a remodel, rather than a room addition. Another option is to have a standard addition put on the house. One company in the area, ABC Design & Build, has developed the concept of a standard room, rather than have a new room custom designed. It takes less time from start to finish, and it costs less money. A standard room for a Kitchen Addition in Fairfax VA includes framing, additional walls, windows, roofing, and siding. The homeowner selects the type of floor, cabinets, and counter tops that go into the new kitchen.
There are standard options for other room additions as well. Interested customers can go online and use the addition calculator to estimate what a standard room would cost. It gives a rough idea of what an addition would cost, based on the size ofthe room, the type of the room, and the selections for features. A free initial consultation would be needed to review choices and allow the comtractor to give a more accurate quote, but the calculator will give a general idea of costs.
