Great Room Turned Into Great Room/Bonus Room
 
In 2006 we took an open, high-ceiling great room and turned it into a great room below with a bonus room above by adding a floor in the middle. Our clients loved it so well that their friends and neighbors started having us do the same thing to their homes. Everywhere we do it the same reaction occurs and we now do several "second-floor" bonus room additons each year. 
 
These additions are a very inexpensive way to add huge value to your home because they add a large amount of square footage that is all within space that is already available within the structure of you home. It cuts down on heating/cooling costs as well as noise levels and costs about half of what it costs to add space onto your home that includes exterior walls and roof. These bonus room addtions are also very quick 15-20 days start to finish so you don't have to put up with months of construction before you get to use your new room. 
 
Below you'll see examples of before, during and after the quick process of transforming your home.  Each row of 3 pictures were taken from the same location before work began, during the process and then after the project was finished.
