If you are looking for an affordable way to add a home extension onto your house, there are some very budget friendly methods that allow you to get some extra space without breaking the bank. By utilizing these tips you can get the space you need without spending a fortune. Use Existing Structure: One of the best ways to create a home addition is to use an existing structure. One of the most common examples of this type of change is the conversion of a garage into living area, such as a spare bedroom or a family room. In many cities you must create a carport if you convert the garage to living space, but it is much less expensive to convert a garage and build a carport than it is to build a new room from the ground up. You'll have to take a look at what's required to convert the garage but most of the time you'll need to insulate it, cover the studs with drywall or paneling and hang a drop ceiling. You can save money on the floor by creating a durable, washable surface using a poured-on plastic concrete covering. Use Existing Space: In some homes you may have another unused space that you can easily convert to living area, such as a full attic or a large storage area over the garage. Another possibility is a basement, a room that is especially nice if it is a daylight basement, but you can convert any type of basement into usable space. Look carefully at the area you want to convert and consider ways in which you can save money when you refinish the room. In many cases you will need insulation and wall coverings, but sometimes the room has usable walls already in place. If you have such a room you can opt for just some paint, lighting, and floor coverings to make the room usable, saving you a great deal of money in the process. Use An Existing Foundation: If you don't have such a space you can convert, another way to save money on a home extension is to use an existing patio. You can easily turn a covered patio into a sunroom by adding screening or Plexiglas walls, but remember that rooms like this also need plenty of ventilation, so don't overlook the need to add ceiling fans as a means of circulating air. Even if you have no place to start your home addition, finding a great supplier for your building materials can help you save, especially if they offer discounts and delivery on large quantities.
