For over 30 years, our professional designers and new addition contractors at Design Build Remodeling Group have provided home addition and renovation services to countless homeowners in Maryland. In our experience, there’s always one thing we always make sure of: home additions must look and feel seamless.
Home additions work best when they appear natural – as if this new section of your home has always been there since day one. That’s what it means to be seamless. Most architectural styles make enough room for seamless additions, but every once in a while, there will be that one house where you need to get a little creative. If your home falls under that category, then here are our best tips to help you out.
Architectural Styles
Familiarizing yourself with your home style is the first step to determining whether that new guest house or garage you’re about to add would look seamless with the rest of the building. Many homeowners tend to put all their focus on the interiors and forget the exteriors. When you’re considering an addition, it helps to blend it smoothly with the existing roofline, siding and other exterior elements you already have.
Consistency
If there’s one thing that can guarantee a seamless addition, it would be the materials. Make sure that your new addition would make use of the same type of wood, the same shade of paint and the same brand of replacement windows. If possible, contact your old home remodeling contractors for a specific list of what they used in the past. If not, you can ask our professionals to help you identify the materials so you maintain your home’s aesthetic consistency.
Choosing Contractors
Finally, your choice of contractors is the final piece that completes the seamless puzzle. You want a contractor that can guarantee your brand new addition will look as well-defined and natural as possible. When choosing a contractor, it’s important to get quotes from two or more. This can help you keep your project within budget while still ensuring the quality of the work you’re about to do get done.
