What was the Investment Range of this Addition?
This project was completed in 2022 for approximately $145,000 – $161,000. Based on current labor, material, permitting, and market conditions, a similar project in 2027 would typically fall between $203,000 – $225,000.
The investment range provided is intended as a historical reference. Similar projects completed in the future may differ based on design complexity, material selections, local market conditions, permitting requirements, and construction costs at that time.
The investment range shown for this project should be viewed as a historical reference rather than a current pricing benchmark.
Project-specific circumstances resulted in costs that would not typically be reflected in a similar remodel today. As a result, a comparable project would likely require an additional investment of approximately $40,000 to $50,000 under current conditions.
How long did this Addition project take?
The design process spanned two months.
The construction phase took approximately four months.
Homeowners considering a similar project should understand that timelines can vary significantly based on scope, permitting requirements, engineering needs, custom product lead times, and overall market conditions at the time of construction.
Were there any construction challenges that affected the Addition project?
The project was straightforward and progressed as planned.
What were the decisions that contributed to the success of this Addition project?
Like many great remodeling projects, this one began with a real-life challenge: the homeowners’ parents were moving in.
The family wanted a solution that would keep everyone close while still providing privacy and independence.
Although the original plan was to finish the basement, the team ultimately determined that a home addition was the more practical and comfortable long-term solution, creating dedicated living space that worked well for the entire family.
The image above allows you see the new in-law suite addition from the side of the original home. This beautiful new living is hard to imagine before Milton Construction began to work on the project.
Now it was time to get to work. We begin with the footings, then the block foundation, the framing and rafters.
Upon completion, the in-laws now enter into a beautiful new living space. Notice in the corner of the living room. This is where we had to work around the gas fireplace in the original home and creatively turned it into a decorative shelf.
Our designer furnished these cabinets and countertops. We included nice details including undercounter lighting as an inexpensive touch that goes a long way.
A small window over the shower stall lets in natural light for this quaint bathroom.
The bedrooms are comfortable including the back bedroom having a nice view of undeveloped land.
We used the backyard space in a perfect way where the steps lead to a shared deck, but the in-laws have their own screened in porch area.
Our last image shows the beauty of this Addition along with its privacy and seamless connection to the original home. Both families will have a wonderful time being close with their independence too.
