What Home Additions Are You Dreaming Of?
Are you envisioning a new room, second-story, or sunroom for your home? Adding to your home’s footprint or structure is exciting, but ensuring these additions are built on a solid foundation is essential. At Keystone Foundation Repair, we specialize in providing the foundation work needed for any home additions. With decades of experience, we know how to assess your existing foundation and implement the necessary reinforcements or extensions to support your new addition. Whether adding extra living space or planning a sizeable structural expansion, trust Keystone to ensure your home stays solid and secure from the ground up.
Additions That Require Additional Foundation
These additions typically involve adding weight or expanding the home's footprint. Here are some examples of home additions that would require an additional foundation:
Room Extensions: A bump out for your kitchen or laundry room, or to expand a hallway to make a mudroom, may need an expanded foundation. Expanding your home by adding a new bedroom, living room, or home office involves creating a new section of the house on previously unused land. This requires pouring a new foundation to support the additional structure and ensure the home remains stable.
Second-Story Additions: Adding an extra floor to a home often requires assessing and reinforcing the existing foundation. A second story significantly increases the load on the foundation, and the original foundation may not be capable of supporting the additional weight without reinforcement or expansion.
Garage Conversions with Additions: If you convert your garage into a living space and add rooms above or next to it, this often requires extending the foundation. Garages typically have a more straightforward foundation that may need to be upgraded to meet residential building standards, especially if you add multiple stories.
Sunrooms or Enclosed Porches: Sunrooms or enclosed patios that expand the home's footprint need their foundation. While they may be lighter structures, they still require a solid foundation to prevent settling and other issues that could affect structural integrity over time.
Outdoor Living Spaces: Features like outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and patios often require additional foundation work to support the weight of appliances and heavy materials and withstand weather conditions. Keystone Foundation Repair ensures your outdoor additions are built on a solid foundation, preventing future settling or damage.
