Signs That You Need Extra Space at Home


If your current home no longer meets your needs, it may be time to consider a home addition. Many homeowners face space limitations or lifestyle changes that make their existing layout feel cramped or outdated. Rather than moving, a well-planned addition can give you the room and functionality you need while increasing your home's value.

Common signs you might need an addition include:

  • You're constantly short on space -- Bedrooms, closets, or storage areas feel overcrowded.
  • Your family is growing -- New children, aging parents, or returning adult children require more living space.
  • You work from home -- You need a dedicated office or quiet workspace separate from your main living areas.
  • Entertaining feels tight -- Your kitchen, dining, or living room doesn't comfortably accommodate guests.
  • You love your home but hate the layout -- The design no longer fits your lifestyle, and small renovations aren't enough.

If any of these issues sound familiar, a custom home addition could be the ideal solution. Balbes Custom Building can help you explore options that enhance your space without sacrificing the home and neighborhood you love.

Benefits of a Home Addition


Adding to a home offers many benefits, including increased living space and improved functionality without the hassle of moving. By customizing the design to suit your needs, you can create a space that aligns perfectly with your lifestyle and preferences, whether adding a bedroom, expanding the kitchen, or creating a home office.

While building an addition costs money initially, room additions to your existing home are financially a good idea. A well-executed addition can boost your property's value and generate rental income if you incorporate separate living quarters. Therefore, you'll be able to get a return on your investment, whether by adding a second story to raise the property value or renting out a new extra bedroom on your property.

Beyond financial advantages, a home addition allows for personalization and accommodates changing family dynamics. Even a minor bump-out addition can give you the space to welcome a new child into your home. A new home addition is a valuable investment in your property's future.

What Our Amazing Clients Have To Say
Kelly Bender's Rating
We have had the pleasure of working with Jon on several large home projects. We added three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage and a Rec room with one job and a new kitchen with a huge basement under our home with another job. Jon is responsive to customer concerns and manages his staff and trades excellently. We have appreciated the tremendous personal attention Jon has provided for our jobs. Kelly Bender
Kelly Majauskas's Rating
We’re so glad we chose Balbes Custom Building for our home addition and remodel! Big construction projects can be stressful, but the Balbes team went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure everything was done as efficiently as possible. Everyone was so friendly, easy to work with, and skilled in their area of expertise. Highly recommend Jon and his team for your construction needs! Kelly Majauskas
Christopher Slon's Rating
We used Balbes Custom Building to update our master bedroom and bath. The workmanship and professionalism of Jon’s subcontractors were exemplary. Jon was very responsive to any concerns that came up and communicated the status of every step along the way to completion. We love our new master bedroom and bath! We will definitely use BCB again in our next project. Christopher Slon
Glenn Hummel's Rating
They live up to the "custom" in their name. On our project, we started with a well thought out renovation design. But as demolition completed and construction progressed we found certain areas and details where we wanted to revise or customize the plan. BCB was amenable to, and proved they were adept at handling, these custom changes that came up as the construction project progressed through various phases. They handled them fairly and executed them well. As a result our end product exceeded our expectations. They have a large stable of good teams in the various trades. The inevitable unforeseen problems were handled professionally. There have been a few minor warranty items that their team responded to and resolved quickly. We will continue to use them on future planned phases of this renovation. Glenn Hummel
Brandon Rudzewicz's Rating
I highly recommend working with Balbes Custom Builders. Jon was a top-notch communicator throughout the entire process. He was always available and returned calls promptly. We had a large renovation project which included demolishing the entire second story to optimize space, a full kitchen remodel and every part of the home was touched. He accommodated our desire to be hands-on making decisions while still keeping the project moving forward. He has a great staff and good relationships with trades which enabled us to stay on the timeline. He made our dream home a reality. Brandon Rudzewicz

Common New Home Additions to Existing Houses


Common new home additions include extra bedrooms, bathrooms, expanded kitchens, and living rooms with a lot of natural light. These additions cater to evolving family needs, providing more space for living and entertaining. The popularity of home office and study additions has risen in the United States, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, when many of the country's workforce switched to a remote or hybrid work environment.

Garage conversions into living spaces or accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are common, offering versatility and potential rental income. We specialize in larger projects such as a basement addition or second-story home addition. Both require the most work and the largest investment but have the biggest payoff in adding value and space to your property. Our home addition builders ensure that each project we tackle maximizes the value you get from your investment.

  • Bedroom Additions -- Create space for growing families or guests
  • Home Offices or Studios -- Designed for remote work or creative pursuits
  • Second-Story Additions -- Double your square footage without expanding your footprint
  • Kitchen Expansions -- Open up your floor plan for better flow and entertaining
  • Sunrooms & Four-Season Rooms -- Enjoy natural light year-round
  • In-Law Suites or Guest Quarters -- Provide privacy for extended family or visitors with a guest suite

Many of our clients come to us feeling like their home no longer fits their lifestyle, but they don't want to leave the community they love.

We also address common homeowner concerns, such as outdated layouts or a lack of storage. Our additions are not just about adding square footage but rather about making your home work better for you. We design each space to flow naturally with the rest of your home while enhancing its long-term value.

Home Additions FAQs

How much does a home addition cost in Michigan?

Costs for additions vary depending on the type, size, and complexity of the project. In general, homeowners in Southeast Michigan can expect to pay between $100 and $300 per square foot. At Balbes Custom Building, we provide detailed estimates based on your specific needs and budget.

Do I need permits for a home addition in West Bloomfield, MI?

Yes, you will need permits for any structural changes to your home. This includes additions that affect plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or the exterior structure. Our team handles the entire permitting process on your behalf, ensuring your addition is fully compliant with local building codes.

How long does it take to build a home addition?

The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of your project. A modest-sized room addition typically takes around 6 to 8 weeks to complete, whereas more extensive projects—such as full-scale expansions or adding a second story—may require several months, depending on complexity and scope. We provide a project schedule before construction begins and keep you informed throughout the process.

Can I add a basement to my house?

Our general contractors can add a basement to an existing house, although a finished basement is a major construction project that requires careful floor planning and expertise. Adding a basement involves excavating beneath the existing structure, reinforcing the foundation, and constructing new walls and floors.

The process can be complex and costly, involving structural modifications, waterproofing measures, and compliance with local building codes. However, adding a basement can significantly increase living space and property value, offering opportunities for additional bedrooms, recreational areas, storage, or utility rooms. While the total cost may seem high, the investment is much smarter than your average home renovation. Depending on the size, adding a basement is one of the best ways to increase your property's square feet and value significantly.

Can I live in my home during construction?

In many cases, yes. We take care to minimize disruptions and maintain a safe, clean worksite so you can continue living in your home. For major additions, we'll work with you to determine the best strategy to ensure comfort and safety during construction.

Will a home addition increase my property value?

Yes, a well-planned and professionally executed addition can significantly boost your home's value. By adding square footage, improving functionality, and updating design elements, your property becomes more attractive to future buyers while better serving your current needs.
