There are many things to keep in mind when deciding whether to add on to your house:

• Do you have the space to spread your house out, or will you miss having a sprawling back yard?
• Will the addition solve the problem that you have with the existing house? Additions can create as many problems as they solve, and can interfere with the flow of the house if not planned properly, and the additions should match the style of the house you’re adding on to.
• Also think about how easy the addition will be, in terms of labor and time, as complicated additions will take longer, cost more and run into more problems. It’s usually simplest to add on to the main house, instead of building second-story additions which are complex and require plenty of work.

Once you’ve decided on the addition and have your home building addition ideas firmly in mind, finding the right contractor is essential. Finding somebody that has plenty of experience in the industry and has a style that you like is important, and there are questions that you should have ready when speaking with the contractor.
