Local Builder “Decodes” Home Extensions and Second Storey Additions
Announcement posted by Next Level Extensions 02 Jun 2017
Builder specialising in home extensions and second storey additions in Perth reveals how to decide which is the best choice.
Perth, WA, 02 June 2017 - Selling a home, buying a larger home and moving requires a sizeable amount of time, money and energy. Consequently, a growing number of Perth area homeowners are choosing to expand their current homes instead of selling, buying and moving. Recently, Craig Johns, Director of Next Level Extensions, used his company blog to help homeowners decide which is the better option for expanding their homes: a second storey addition or a home extension.
Next Level Extensions is a company that specialises in home renovations and those in his company more than seventy years of combined experience in providing various home renovations, home extensions and second storey additions to homeowners in the Perth area.
According to Mr Johns: “It can be a lot of hassle to sell your current home, buy a new home and move all of your belongings. If you have children, it can be traumatic for them to say goodbye to their childhood friends and try to make new ones in a new neighbourhood. That is why so many Perth homeowners are choosing to expand their present homes instead of looking elsewhere.”
Home Extensions
Home extensions are a popular option for those in the Perth area who have enough land to expand their homes comfortably and still leave enough room for a garden or a swimming pool. They are the easiest way to expand a home. The builder creates a new slab or foundation and builds the extension from the ground up.
When the home extension is built, the builder then knocks down the outer wall of the original building to connect the extension with the rest of the home. There is no intrusion into the homeowner’s lifestyle until the extension is liveable. Home extensions keep everything on the first floor, which many with small children or handicapped family members prefer. One storey is also better for those who are getting too old to climb stairs.
Second Storey Additions
Second storey additions are a popular option for those who don’t have room to expand their homes outward or those who like the design feature of having bedrooms upstairs and common areas downstairs. They are also popular for those who can gain access to better views in scenic areas by adding a second storey.
The builder has to make sure the foundation is strong enough to support the extra weight. If it isn’t the builder has to fortify the foundation until it is strong enough to safely hold a second storey. The second storey is completed and then the builder installs a stairwell to connect the two storeys.
Making the Choice
Mr Johns concludes: “Ultimately, the choice is matter of personal taste, family needs and what you have to work with. Whether you build up or build out, it saves time, money and hassle to turn your current home into your dream home.”
