Home Additions - Remodeling Questions
1.20How do you estimate square footage pricing on additions to your home?
A.It largely depends on if it's a DIY or contracted. If I was doing an addition, I might charge as mush as $200 a sq. ft. depending on your desires,,,or as little as $100 a sq. ft. if you're willing to NOT be my foreman.

1.00At what point do attached additions to a manufactured home make it NOT a manufactured home?
Q.Do additions (structural and attached) eventually change the classification of a manufactured home for refinancing and insurance purposes? At what point does this happen? Our house is no longer what I would consider mobile at all! lol
We are in a very rural setting and the building has been done to code although no inspections were required. The home is a 2003 model. The addition does have foooters and a foundation.
A.It would change when the county inspects it and decides it is no longer a trailer. The odds of that happening are close to zero. How many of those "attachments" even have building permits?
1.00Referals for remodels and home additions?
Q.I am looking to do a remodel and possibly a home addition on a home I have lived in the past 10 years. Does anyone know of a reliable business or a way to find a reliable company that is the Raleigh/Cary/Apex, NC area?
A.Http://www.nari.org/level2/homeowners/.. try this site.
1.00What is the going rate for home additions in NC
Q.We want to add a garage w/ bonus room, and extend out back with an additional room or two. Will require HVAC upgrades.
What can I expect to pay / square foot?
A.$60 per sq ft basic. $100 gets you luxury. Can you do any of it yourself? /
1.00Is there a home design knowledge base website out there?
Q.I'm looking to find out if there is some type of knowledgebase website. I want something that deals with building custom homes, additions and remodels.
A.Yes called home design data base

1.00Termites and home additions?
Q.We have to put a new roof on our house while at the same time we know that we have drywood termites. Our home has hardwood floors, wood paneling and wood beam ceiling in our den. A new roof is going to be going in, should we termite AFTER the new roof to treat the new installation or go ahead and termite now since our roof won't probably go until September.
A.In Arizona it is law that when (this is for a MANUFACTURED HOME) EXCAVATION DIRT WORK IS DONE & BEFORE HOME IS SET CALL PEST CONTROL THEY HAVE TERMITE SPRAY IT COSTS BUT IN THE LONG RUN IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!! but...make sure its not water...In other words be there DON"T GET RIPPED OFF!!!!
1.00Home additions?
Q.I know it is hard to give an exact dollar amount but ideally give me a ballpark figure on what it might cost to add a full bath and a 12 by 12bedroom addition to a home
A.Almost impossible to do....of course the price is going to vary by the area you live in.
i would suggest contacting the better business bureau, then make sure you get several contractors names and ask them to bid on the project. make sure you check on their licenses with the state.
all bids should include architecture plans as well as permitting costs (they need to pull the permits for you).
good luck.
1.00TN home additions?
Q.From laying the footing to final product, how many permits are involved and what is the cost of each?
A.Im from OR and all we have are the building permit, and plumbing & elect. (or trades) and possible mechincal(heating& a/c) but if you do the mech yourself which is easy it saves alittle. If you live in the big cities the permits are usually more expensive here the building perm. are usually $800-1200 dep on size and if any engineering is involved. the trades permits are usually $200-400

Home Additions
There are many numbers of reasons why people make additions to their property, and lack of space is just one of them. A growing family with expanding needs will greatly benefit from an extra bedroom or two, but you can also enhance the quality of your life by making a sunroom addition for entertaining and socializing, a kitchen addition to help with the extra cooking load during parties, and a spare bathroom addition for convenience. Besides, the resale value of your home can increase dramatically when you have more rooms for specific purposes.
When it's a matter of investment in addition to your home, an extensive addition may not always justify the cost if you sell the property immediately upon finishing the addition remodeling project. A small kitchen or bathroom addition will most likely give you greater ROI than an extensive second story addition. You will enjoy maximum value for money if you undertake as many extensive additions as you can, like a complete second story addition, enjoy your new spaces for as long as possible, before putting it on the market. Also, take into consideration that your investment may include upgrades to your heating and cooling system, and changes to the exterior of your home.
Certain home additions, like adding an extra bedroom can be necessary changes to your property. If you find that your children need their own rooms to avoid stifling each other, you'll find that bedroom additions are a cheaper alternative to moving. Other additions are not entirely necessary, but greatly enhance the quality of your life. For instance, a sunroom addition can help brighten your home, and provide a large space for entertaining or socializing. A beautiful custom sunroom addition that makes use of high efficiency glass, and top of the line wood will give you a beautiful sunroom that makes lounging a pleasure.
