Key Considerations for a Successful Home Addition

Home additions involve far more than adding square footage. Unlike standard remodels, they require careful planning, engineering, and seamless integration with your existing home. These are some of the most important factors we help homeowners think through before building begins.

Common Types of Home Additions

Home additions come in many forms, depending on how you want to use your space and how your home is laid out. From adding a single room to creating an entirely new living area, different styles and layouts offer different benefits. Below are some of the most common options homeowners choose.

Ways to Use the Space

  • Bedroom & Master Suite Additions:
    Create extra bedrooms or luxurious master suites with closets and bathrooms.
  • In-Law & Guest Suites:
    Private, fully equipped spaces for family or visitors.
  • Kitchen Bump-Outs & Living Room Expansions:
    Open up your main living areas for modern, flexible layouts.
  • Home Offices & Studios:
    Dedicated spaces for work, hobbies, or creative projects.
  • Sunrooms & Conservatories:
    Bring natural light and outdoor views into your home.
  • Bathroom Additions:
    Increase convenience and comfort by adding full or half bathrooms.
  • Garage Conversions:
    Transform underused garage space into livable square footage.
  • New Garages & Carport Conversions:
    Add a new attached or detached garage, or convert an existing carport into an enclosed space for storage or parking.

Addition Layouts & Construction Methods

  • Single-Story Additions:
    Perfect for expanding ground-level living spaces or adding master suites.
  • Second-Story Additions:
    Add bedrooms or lofts without reducing yard space.
  • Attached Additions:
    Seamlessly connect new rooms to your existing home structure.
  • Detached Additions:
    Separate guest houses, offices, or studios for privacy and functionality.

Why You Should Consider a Home Addition

Home additions are more than just extra square footage. They enhance your lifestyle, improve comfort, and increase the long-term value of your home. An addition can transform your living space, whether you need space for a growing family, a home office, or a dedicated entertainment area.

Expand Your Living Space

Add a bedroom, home office, sunroom, or bonus room to give your family the room it needs. More space means less clutter, better organization, and a home that adapts to your changing lifestyle.

Create Specialized Areas for Hobbies & Entertainment

A home addition can provide dedicated spaces for hobbies, gaming, reading, or entertaining. Having separate areas helps everyone enjoy their favorite activities without interference.

Increase Home Value

Adding usable square footage is a smart financial investment. Features like additional bedrooms, sunrooms, or multi-purpose spaces make your home more attractive to future buyers and can boost resale value.

Avoid the Cost and Stress of Moving

Instead of relocating to a larger home, a well-designed addition allows you to stay in your current neighborhood while gaining the space and amenities you need.

Really happy with the finished home improvement work. The updated areas have a much cleaner appearance, and the changes make the space more practical without making it feel overly renovated. I like how the new finishes work with the existing parts of the house, especially the flooring and trim. The additional storage has also made a difference because everything is easier to organize now. The overall design feels simple and comfortable, which suits the house well. The finished areas look more polished without losing their original character. Overall, the improvements were worthwhile and made the space much more enjoyable.

We hired Barlow Construction to remodel our exterior, add a laundry room, and finish the basement. The quality was excellent, the basement and exterior turned out amazing. They stuck to the timeline once work started, communicated clearly, stayed professional, and fixed any issues that came up. They also held to the original estimate and even included some extra finishes at no charge. Their honesty and integrity stood out, and they even returned years later to repair work we had problems with no hesitation. We would hire them again and highly recommend Barlow Construction.

We recently had our home remodeled and had a great experience working with Greg Barlow and his team at Barlow Construction. From the beginning, communication was clear and professional. Barlow took the time to understand what we wanted and helped guide us through the process with helpful suggestions and expertise. The quality of the work was excellent, and the attention to detail really showed in the finished project. The crew was respectful of our home, kept the work area clean, and stayed on schedule throughout the remodel—even with changes to the original scope of work, which are to be expected during any remodel. What we appreciated most was how responsive and reliable Barlow was, even when things didn’t go exactly as planned. He never made excuses for challenges and always did his best to make things right. Any questions or concerns were addressed quickly, and it was clear they cared about making sure we were happy with the final result. We’re extremely pleased with how our remodel turned out and would definitely recommend Barlow Construction to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contractor. Scott & Jennifer

Barlow Construction provided an exceptional upgrade to our temporary rotomill covering from our shop construction in 2021. We ran out of funds and concrete costs had soured during Covid so we had to put in a temporary rotomill cover. Barlow Construction looked at our entire need, including tear out of our existing driveway and RV pad and rotomill base in front of shop. Tear out conducted in a timely professional manner. Then conducted 'final grade' preparation and reworked drainage plan to accommodate simplified and more functional drainage capability then the one we envisioned. Due to excessive rains we discovered a very large clay deposit in the middle of our pour area in front of shop. After Barlow Construction called soil engineers and the city of Layton for options, the recommendation was to remove the clay and replace with reused concrete. This was an exceptional recommendation. Another contractor could have just poured over it and we wouldn't have known until it cracked and heaved. While it was a change order and had additional cost, the professionalism of 'we do things right' was proven time and again during the project. The outcome has blown away all of our friends. The improvement to our yard, RV pad and driveway is spectacular. More importantly, heavy rains after the pour proved that the drainage system works perfectly. Can't recommend Barlow Construction enough and we know friends who are already lining up projects with them due to their customer service and quality of work. Feel free to reach out to answer specific questions and we'll gladly send pictures to show off the final product to those interested. We couldn't he more satisfied.

If I could rate 10 stars I would, contacted them for replacement of 2 doors in my house with a large addition added to it, installing a slider was going to be tricky, these guys made easy work of it, but most impressive to me, the attention to detail and expert guidance in the design, if this company was on one of those HGTV programs, the would really showcase their talent

A friend of ours recommended Barlow Construction when we were looking for someone to remodel our house and also add a large deck and patio, and I am so grateful we hired them! They have absolutely transformed our house into a home that we love coming home every day! Recently, we required some additional services, and Barlow Construction was our first call. They showed up the same day we called to give an estimate and had the job completed within 2 weeks. I could not be more pleased with the service that we have received from them and would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a contractor!

I depended on Barlow Construction for extensive renovation of my home 2016 - 2019. Over the 3 years, Greg remodeled the main floor, and the basement laundry room and bathroom. This year he painted the exterior and replaced the driveway. Each project brought unique challenges. Greg consulted with me, explaining the alternatives, and made good recommendations. Greg has always been considerate and easy to work with. He Is respectful, responsive and professional. I am pleased with the quality of the work. I especially appreciate that he responds to my particular concerns. I texted Greg early one morning that I was nervous about the project we had scheduled. He responded with a call and addressed all my concerns. Greg has also done several small jobs for my son when other contractors would not respond. I have recommended Barlow Construction to others and he met their expectations, also. Thank you, Barlow Construction!

They genuinely care about doing the job right. Everyone on the crew was professional, respectful, and skilled at what they do. We highly recommend Barlow Construction to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality home remodeling. It was great to work with a team that takes pride in their work and delivers on their promises.

My wife and I are very happy with the home remodeling work that Barlow Construction completed for us. We started with a kitchen remodel that evolved into further updates including solid wood flooring including stairs, door replacements, painting, additional storage in mud room and laundry areas, and new stair railings. Barlow was clear about costs before the project was started and as we added additional updates along the way. We appreciated that Barlow would provide honest feedback regarding design and product choices so that we would maximize the value of the remodeling work. With the demolition of the old flooring, there were some minor issues that needed some remediation. We really appreciated that Barlow discussed the situation with us so that the repairs could be made. These issues were not addressed during a previous remodel before we purchased our home that eventually led to issues with the previous flooring. We recommend Barlow construction without reservation.

We hired Barlow Construction to remodel our kitchen and main floor, and we’re very happy with the results! The team did a great job with the craftsmanship and attention to detail to bring our project to life. Everything, from the cabinets to the flooring, was done with care, and it shows in the finished space. They really took the time to make sure everything was just right and met our expectations, including some less traditional requests. Another thing we really appreciated was how responsive and willing they were to fix any issues that came up along the way. They made sure we were satisfied with every step of the process, which gave us peace of mind. Overall, we are thrilled with the end project and excited to enjoy our new main floor and kitchen!

We needed a shower conversion in the worst way, and Barlow Construction did a wonderful job.. Even though the bathroom is an odd shape (what you get in a 110 year old house), he made it work and the result is amazing. The subcontractors were knowledgable and skillful, and everything was done in a timely manner.

(additional post 9/2024) I just want to add to my review from more than a year ago. If I could leave 10 stars, I would. With the work Barlow did on our home we got his One Year guarantee. There were a few minor things that I needed adjusted and followed up on. He is true to his word and honors his work and that of his subcontractors. Barlow continues to this day to be highly responsive, even when it is warranty work on a bathroom faucet. When you hire Barlow, you get the real deal. Thanks, Barlow!! (initial post 2023) Barlow came highly recommended to us. We are so very glad we hired him to do our extensive remodel and addition. Barlow met regularly with us and gave us many helpful recommendations and suggestions that I find myself still appreciating as we have moved back into our home. We found him to be honest, fair, and forthright. One day, early in the remodel, I saw a note to his crew outlining the work they were to accomplish that day. At the top of the list it said, "Steady with Quality". This truly represents his philosophy and work ethic. His worksite was clean and orderly and his sub-contractors know he expects quality work. His 30+ years in the business showed in his ability to anticipate, trouble-shoot and resolve problems. One of the many things I appreciated most was his responsive and collaborative manner. We absolutely love our newly remodeled home. Thank you, Barlow!

They did an excellent job remodeling our master bathroom. The team kept us appraised of all surprises and the remediation such as old rotten floor boards that they discovered. All the sub contractors did excellent work. They were considerate of our schedule and needs. They went above and beyond what we expected. We will recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

FAQs

The timeline for a home addition varies depending on the project type and complexity. Small bump-outs or sunrooms may take a few weeks, while full second-story additions or extensive renovations can take several months. Factors like permitting, weather, and material availability can affect the schedule.

In many cases, yes. Most homeowners can remain in their homes during a home addition, though some disruptions are unavoidable. For larger or second-story additions, temporary relocation might be recommended for safety and comfort.

A well-designed addition usually increases your home’s value, especially if it adds useful space like bedrooms, bathrooms, or a sunroom. To maximize value, the addition should match your home’s style, flow well with the existing layout, and fit the neighborhood.

However, poor design, low-quality construction, or taking up too much yard space can limit or even reduce value. Working with experienced contractors ensures your addition enhances both your living space and your home’s market appeal.

Absolutely. We design additions to blend seamlessly with your home’s style, materials, and finishes, ensuring a cohesive look and feel.

It depends on the scope of the addition. Usually, however, the answer is yes. Larger additions or those with kitchens, bathrooms, or HVAC extensions may require upgrades to plumbing, electrical, or heating systems.
