Most people think that additions are too expensive and time-consuming to accomplish. This is simply not true. Here in South Florida, our home prices can still be well above 100 dollars per square foot and an addition can cost as little as 60 dollars per square foot. Every square foot of area you add to your home increases your equity substantially! Additions are an excellent investment money-wise and of course, all that extra space can prevent months of storage fees or simply provide your more room to relax.
