Important Things to Consider Before Building a Home Addition

Sometimes you just need a bit more space and that’s where a home addition can improve your home and make it better fit your lifestyle. A new guest bedroom, granny flat, living room or bathroom can change and improve the way you and your loved ones live. Marrokal Design & Remodeling designs and builds beautiful and functional home additions for local homeowners. Today, we explain the things to consider before starting a home remodeling project.

Property Lines

Locate your property lines, and develop a plot plan that includes the location of your utilities, your home, and your landscape. Determining your property lines and developing a good plot plan are essential because local building codes have restrictions on how close you can build next to your neighbors. When you turn to experts in design and build remodeling, like Marrokal Design & Remodeling, the process is easy–we guide you through each necessary step.

Your Current Floor Plan and Architecture

You will also have to look at the floor plan and structure of your home and work with a designer to create a plan that will create the most functional, affordable, and attractive room addition to your home. A home addition needs to match your home’s current architecture, so work only with a company with years of experience in this area. Marrokal Design & Remodeling is a home remodeling specialist working in San Diego, CA for more than three decades helping with room additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and custom home building.

Materials and the Scope of Work

Get detailed information on all the necessary materials for your project and for the scope of work before it actually begins. When making your list of materials and desired features, you should include your first, second and third choices. By doing this, you help the contractor understand your priorities and what matters most to you.
