The most common home expansion method is the conventional house addition, which involves adding multiple new rooms directly connected to the existing house. It seamlessly blends into the layout, appearing as part of the structure. Conventional additions can include various rooms like bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and dining rooms.
Another option is a new room add-on or bump-out, which adds a single room to the existing house. Bathrooms and bedrooms are the most common types. Families often outgrow their homes or need more bathrooms or bedrooms due to increased family members.
If a new room addition seems budget-intensive, consider a bump-out, which expands space within the existing home. For example, extending a kitchen by five feet can make a significant difference.
Lastly, there’s the conversion option, which transforms an existing structure, such as a rarely used garage, into a bedroom, living room, or small apartment. Converting garages is cost-effective and faster than other additions in San Jose, especially considering the current housing market conditions.
