Whether it's a small bump-out addition with a remodel, or a full-blown addition project, house additions are investments for homeowners.

If you do not plan on moving anytime soon, you have more incentive to make it yours. The value you receive from a home improvement project can be enjoyed for many years to come.

However, if you sell your house in the future, you need to think about the resale value.

Make sure the add-on is cost-effective. If the value of your home increases with a tasteful addition, investing in your home could have a high return on investment.
