So you moved into your home a couple of years ago and now it’s time to make a decision: you can add on or you can move. But maybe you don’t want to go anywhere. Excellent schools and friends keep you joyfully tied to your current neighborhood. Then the option is to add on, and Ritz Design Build can help you with your large home addition.

The better you know your home, the better the addition

You’re in a better position to add onto your home after you’ve lived there a few years. You now know where the sun shines in the morning and which corner of the house is cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter. Ritz Design Build will work with you to incorporate this knowledge into a beautiful plan to enhance your existing home while adding more space.

Building for the future

If you’re going to stay in a home for a long time, it’s fine to reflect your personal style. But if there’s a chance you’re going to sell in a few years, then you might want keep things a little simpler. You don’t want to impose your personal tastes on any potential buyer. For example, rather than bright Mexican tiles in the kitchen that you love, you might consider simple white cabinets and a granite countertop — you can always add colorful Mexican pottery for that dash of south-of-the-border color.

How to get the most bang for your dollar

Ritz Design Build will work with you to get the most home for your design dollar. With a total home renovation, there is a strong desire to redo everything. But after we sit down and talk with you, we can help you prioritize your spending. For example, if you love entertaining and have a crew of more than 20-plus people over for every football game, you will want to invest your budget in the kitchen and entertaining areas. Or if you dream of a private sanctuary, we can build you a luxurious master bedroom suite with walk-in closets, lounge area and a spa-bathtub.

Know what your home will look like before you build

Ritz Design Build will talk to you and find out what you want in your large home renovation. With almost 50 years in the Design Build business, we know what works and what doesn’t. We’ll bring our expertise and marry that with your needs and wants to create a home design that gives you the most for your money. Designs are rendered in full-color 3D so you’ll get a clear idea of what the addition will look like. It’s the next best thing to walking through the completed build. But the wonderful thing is you can give feedback before construction, and we can alter the design to reflect the home you see in your dreams.
