Bathroom Addition

Bathroom addition is one of the best type of improvement that you can do to your home. Most people do not have enough bathrooms in their home and would love to have additional one. Also, any additional bathroom will automatically add to the value of the house. It will give you the best return on investment and will help one day is the selling of the house. However, the key element to achieve the best return on investment is to have the right design in order to lower the construction cost. One of the most costly aspect of a new bathroom addition is the connection of the new waist (drain) line to the existing house main waist pipe. It might be necessary to electronically locate the house waist pipe under the concrete floor. In short, you should hire an experience, license contractor to do the job and not a handyman in your neighborhood. Just remember that the over all cost of the bathroom addition can escalate because of purchasing expensive fixtures. As you probably know you can buy a sink faucet at Home Depot for less than $50 but also you can spend as much as $1,500 for a faucet. Just remember that you can control your construction cost by choosing fixtures and accessories wisely.

Patio Enclosure Under Patio Roof in Phoenix, Az

Enclosure under patio roof

You can convert your existing patio, with roof or without, into a beautiful sunroom enclosure. There are basically two types of sunroom enclosures to consider. The modular type which is a factory made sections that will be fitted and installed at the job location. The second type is a custom built that offers almost unlimited option in design, materials and finishing. Both cost just about the same and in some cases the custom built might cost less.

So how would you know what type to have? One way is to check this Blog often and read my future articles about enclosures and sunrooms. I am going to display photos of actual sunroom enclosures with related comments.

The final decision of the type of enclosure might be made by your HOA. Several of the new communities in the Phoenix Valley will not allow any of the modular sunroom enclosure and will only approve a custom built enclosure that will look like the house. Not only the same exterior colors but also the same exterior finishing.
