Under the Contractor Umbrella

When someone tells you that they are a contractor, what comes to mind? You might picture someone putting up walls or otherwise building a home. Indeed, someone with this job is considered a contractor. But there are also a lot of other jobs under the contractor umbrella. If someone paints, they're a contractor. If someone pours concrete, they are a contractor. Even plumbers are generally considered contractors; they're just contractors with a certain specialization. There's room for many under the contractor umbrella. In fact, there is even room for you. Even if you don't become a contractor, there is room for you to learn about the profession on this website.

There are many reasons to consider a custom home addition. Perhaps your family has outgrown your current home, or you need more space for a home office or hobby room. Whatever the reason, a custom home addition can provide the extra space you need while preserving your original home investment. Here are some of the most popular types of custom home additions to consider.

Outdoor Kitchen Area

An outdoor kitchen can provide a great space for entertaining friends and family, as well as a way to enjoy the outdoors while cooking. There are many benefits to having an outdoor kitchen, such as being able to control the temperature and ventilation, having more counter space, and being able to enjoy the fresh air.

Deck or Porch

A well-designed deck or porch can be a beautiful and functional asset to any home, and it's a great way to make the most of your outdoor space. It is a great place to entertain guests or relax in the sun, and a porch can provide a shady spot to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or read a book. If you have the space, you could even build a screened-in porch to keep out insects. In addition to being an enjoyable place to spend time, a deck or porch can also add value to your home. 

Solar Panels

Solar panels are a great way to save money on your energy bills and help the environment. Solar panels can be used to heat your home, power your lights, and even run your appliances.

Home Gym

A home gym is a great way to get in shape and stay fit without having to leave the comfort of your own home. It's also a great way to save money on gym membership fees. A home gym can include equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals, free weights, and exercise machines. In addition, a home gym can also be a great place to host fitness classes or personal training sessions.

Finished Attic or Basement

If you have an unfinished attic or basement, finishing it can provide additional living space for your family. An attic can be turned into a bedroom, office, playroom, or storage space, while a basement can be finished into a family room, recreation room, or home theater. Finishing an attic or basement can be a great way to add value to your home.

Fireplace

A fireplace can add style, warmth, and value to your home. It's a great place to gather around with family and friends, and it can provide a source of heat in the winter. If you don't have a lot of space, there are many types of smaller fireplaces that can be installed.

These are just some of the custom home additions you might want to consider. For more information on custom home additions, contact a construction company, such as Dog Star Construction.
