Unless you are this snail, you can’t move and add on to you current house and enjoy both. That’s just not how these things work. I suppose there may be an exception for mobile homes, haha, depending on their actual mobility. That is besides the point. You clicked here to see our case for adding square footage to your current home. Without further ado, here are:


4 reasons to add on to your current house.

1. The Act of Moving

It is time to see who your real friends are now. “Hey can we use your truck?” “What are you doing next Saturday? Nothing? Awesome!  Do you want to hang out? We need help moving.” The old bait and switch can be highly effective. We have all been there before, whether we are the friend asking or the friend being asked, we have all been there. Now imagine there was a way to add space to the home that you LOVE that did not require you to move… We saw you perk up there! Haha Now it’s time to dream about adding on to your house to avoid the headache of moving! You will be amazed by the creative solutions we can help you find!

2.Your Perfect Neighborhood

When we think back to when we purchased our homes there are two schools of thought. 

1. “We can actually afford this house!”

2. “ We looked at 173 houses and finally found the right one, in the right neighborhood, for the right price!”

If you are with reason number 1, maybe it is not a bad idea to look for a new house to find that perfect place to settle down. BUT, if you have found that perfect spot and have simply run out of room it may be time to look into a room addition. Imagine keeping your same neighborhood, your same school districts, your same local spots, and simply adding a new custom room or two to your almost perfect house. It is time to start dreaming!

3. It Might Be Cheaper

Now this will vary some depending on your exact circumstances but this is something we encourage you to crunch some numbers on.  Room additions can raise the value of your home, say in adding a bedroom and bathroom.  Your 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house might become a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. That can add value, but we can’t pretend that the room addition was free right? So we encourage you to run the numbers. Get estimates, look up houses the size you are looking for on Redfin or Zillow, and see which option makes the most sense for your family.  While you may not be overly sold on a room addition, you owe it to yourself to see which option puts you and your family in the best spot.  Am I right? haha You can tell us if we are wrong… we can handle it.

4. Custom Comfort

You may be able to find adequate space for your lifestyle if you move.  It would be dishonest for us to say you couldn’t… and if you have seen our website… “Our mission is to prove to be a company you can TRUST to deliver superior customer service and superior craftsmanship.” We want to be a company you can trust! ;) BUT, how many chances do we get in life to build something truly custom for something very specific?  That is an exciting part of room additions. Maybe you are hoping to put up the perfect reading room in your house, maybe you are interested in adding a second story so the kids have their own area.  Who knows all the things you might be dreaming, the point is, a room addition gives you the opportunity to create something truly exciting! If you are anything like us you are instantly thinking of secret passage ways and hidden rooms! haha Those are all on the table! Wake up your inner creative child and lets build something awesome together!  


Friends, we are so excited to serve you in any manner you require.  We will be the first to admit that room additions are not for everyone, but we felt it may be helpful to allow you to explore this option.  If you have any questions we would be happy to help in any way we can.  We at CTA are grateful for your time and look forward to serving you in the future.
