Convert Ranch Home to a Colonial, Two Story Home Addition |
Ranch Conversion Addition: Costs and Plans |
Convert Your Charming Ranch to a Sensational Colonial and Add 960 sq/ft of Space!
There are home extensions and there are Home Extensions! Seriously though, most people who have done this type of vertical home extension, truly understand how remarkable a change like this really is. In most cases you are doubling the square footage of a house, the added space alone will make you grin from ear to ear. But space is not the only reason people go vertical with house extensions, nope, it's the amenities they plan on adding. Maybe you need another bedroom for a future house guest that's less than 3 feet tall, maybe you need another bathroom to cut down on your morning bathroom traffic, or maybe you want a large master suite with a hotel styled bathroom.

Construction Details "Fancy Hip Roof Design"
The existing roof will be completely removed and a new second floor will be built over the first floor. Some existing walls on the first floor will be reconfigured to allow for a staircase to access the second floor. At the end of the hallway a balcony will allow you to look over into the foyer below. A new gable roof will be added with usable attic space, and a small overhang over the front door will provide protection from the elements when entering the home. (See our construction costs below.)
