Room Addition
Tips from Contra Costa County - Solano County Licensed Contractor
California living … how to make the most of what your home and lot have to offer? First off, are you absolutely sure you are ready financially, emotionally, and have enough time to take on a room addition project? Have you thought of all possible options?
Here is a checklist of things to consider or think about before committing to a room addition:
- Think about what your addition will to do the resale value of your home. You may want to consult with a realtor before you begin your project.
- Sunrooms are not additions, they are just sunrooms.
- Remember that the larger your addition, the more maintenance it will take to keep-up, almost certain to use more energy for air comfort levels.
- Work with your contractor to use high quality windows and doors.
- Insulate attic and walls for best possible energy savings.
- Try to build up instead of losing backyard space.
- Don’t put yourself into position to sweat the small stuff!: Let your contractor do “all the dirty work.” Work with a licensed, insured, and bonded California contractor you can trust. Check references. The plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation, framing, drywall, insulation, flooring, actual painting (not color selection), debris disposal, and the dreaded “red tape” part- zoning & permits … it's all part of the construction process-even for bathroom remodeling and kitchen remodeling projects.

Word about Permits
All additions, new construction and remodeling projects, require permits in California. Your local permit office can often make this process an easy one or a very complex one. From building codes, zoning restrictions, to related ordinances for the type of construction you are doing the restrictions and requirements can sometimes seem endless to the “do-it yourselfer homeowner,” thus creating significant and sometimes major delays in your project. You can run into countless number of obstacles such as height restrictions, electrical and plumbing issues, property lines, stairs, railings, grading, water proofing, damp-proofing, on and on.
