Need More Room For Your Family? Try a House Addition

By Gordon T. Mayer

Have you outgrown your house? It happens to everyone. You reach that point where you think you are busting at the seams, but adding on seems like a huge money guzzling, time draining project. Think again. The easiest and most efficient way to add space to your home is readily accessible: it is the 3 season porch.

With the housing market in the slumps moving is impractical, with the economy down adding a large addition is unwise, so the 3 season porch becomes a choice more and more families are moving toward. Financially they make sense, not to mention they conversion potential they provide. If you future-proof your porch you can modify it into a sunroom when the time is right for you.

Benefits of the 3 season porch:

* Expands your living space

* No need for insect repellant

* Raises your property value

Once you make the commitment to build a 3 season porch, look for a builder that will answer the questions below:

* How is the porch going to tie in with the house?

* How can you get the entire inside space you desire without giving up your yard?

* What needs to be done now to ensure a successful conversion to a future sunroom? - 16035
