Outdoor Living Spaces
With Florida’s fantastic weather, sunny days, and warm nights, it can be beneficial to create a space that lets you enjoy the outdoors. Some popular options are:
- Sunrooms and lanai extensions: These screened-in spaces create a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor areas. They are great for relaxing, entertaining, or just enjoying the morning sun.
- Swimming pools and pool decks: A backyard pool is vital for enjoying Florida living. Adding a pool and deck can create an oasis—great for lounging around and entertaining.
Larger Living Space
As families grow and change, they might need more indoor space in their houses. Some common home additions include:
- Master suites: Expand your master bedroom and create a luxurious space with a master suite addition. This can include a spacious bedroom, a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower, a walk-in closet, and even a private balcony.
- Family room: A dedicated family room provides much-needed space for relaxation, movie nights, game nights, or a play area for the kids. This opens up your other living areas and creates a designated space for family time.
- In-law suites: Multi-generational living is becoming more popular as parents age. Adding an in-law suite gives family members their own space or creates a comfortable guest space. This can be a detached unit or an addition to your main house, with its entrance, living area, bedroom, and bathroom.
Functional Spaces
With changing times, working situations, and other needs, you should create more functional spaces in your house. Our team commonly builds the following home additions in Tampa, FL:
- Home offices: Whether you are working from home full-time or part-time, you need a dedicated workspace. An office addition allows you to create a productive and professional work environment separate from your living areas, promoting focus and a healthy work-life balance.
- Mudrooms and laundry rooms: If you’re tired of not having enough space when doing laundry, or you’re sick of tripping over shoes, purses, coats, and backpacks, you can benefit from adding a laundry room or mudroom to your house. A mudroom is the perfect place to store outerwear, shoes, sports equipment, and more. Adding a laundry room gives you more storage space and a larger area to wash and sort clothes.
