A New Home Addition May Be Just What You Need

By Gordon T. Mayer

Things feeling cramped? It's as if your house shrank, closing in on the once comfy living quarters. There are plenty of options out there: buy need, build, remodel . . . but do any of them fit within your current reality? For most of us, the answer is a resounding "no". So what options do you have? 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.

Why else build a 3 season porch?

* Living quarters will expand

* Insect free

* Your property value will significantly increase

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

* How will the new structure tie in with the existing structure?

* How can the inside space be maximized without sacrificing the outdoor space?

* What would be necessary for future proofing (modifying the 3 season into a sunroom)?
