The two main ways of extending your home is to build out on the same level or go up and add another level.

People always ask me the question what is better or what would I do if this was my home?

Before you can decide to go up or out you have to first understand the pros and cons of each option. Each of them can benefit you in different ways. Not all these benefits are obvious.

The thought of extending your home is an exciting prospect. The possibilities are endless!

Forget the horror stories, myths, and misguided advice. Having your home renovated can be an amazing experience. This is why people keep doing it all the time! It does tend to be addictive!
