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 current trends in the housing market as unfavorable as they are, most people are reserving their cash flow and making due with unpleasant conditions. A 3 season porch is a sensible way to add square footage without compromising your bottom line. In fact, you can have a porch built and over time convert it into a sunroom, further stretching the possibilities.

Benefits of the 3 season porch:

* Increases your living space

* Provides a pest free environment

* Increases value of home/property

When looking for a builder, don't take the lowest bidder, don't take the big talker, take the builder who listens to you and considers the following factors:

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

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

* What steps will be taken now to make the sunroom conversion a reality?
