Towson Home Additions

When you purchase a home, there is one thing that cannot be adjusted on paperwork, and that is the size. When you are house shopping, you would like to anticipate future needs and make your selection based upon the plans you have for your family. However, once you sign the paperwork for that three-bedroom, two-bath, you are locked into having that much room to work with. The only option for additional space is to sell that house and move into a larger one. Or is it?
 
In certain situations, you can make a couple of home remodeling additions and give yourself an extra room for entertaining, visiting family members, or even if you choose to grow your family. Arlo Contracting is the handyman to call when you need to discuss turning your patio or porch into a room all in itself. There may even be options to create an addition off the existing structure. Of course, there are restrictions, but that is what Arlo is there for; to help you through that decision process

Porch & Patio Enclosure Options

​By far, the easiest option is to take existing space and close it off to create a habitable living area. Unless you have a basement that can be finished to give your home more space, you would only have the front entrance and a rear entrance to your home. When either of these areas has a sitting area, you can hire our qualified handymen to construct a home addition to suit your needs.
 
General contractors, like Arlo Contracting, are professionals at using an existing home space with potential and creating a room that you will be proud to show off. From erecting walls, window and skylight installation, to floor laying, electrical outlet installation, and even putting in ceiling fans for circulation. The real decision you need to make is where you want it put in.
 
However, the setup of your home could very well make that decision for you.
 
Our handymen can help you by creating a:

Patio Enclosure

While many people would love to have an outdoor space to unwind at the end of the day, or to entertain guests, privacy can be a big deal, especially if the homes in your neighborhood are closer together. The ideal location for your situation may be a rear facing patio enclosure to complete your plans. A handyman can take the existing offshoot of your home and create an extra room or sitting area for you and your family. These can include traditional walls or a glass sunroom addition that gives you a clear outdoor experience while remaining indoors.

Three Seasons Patio Enclosures

​These types of sunroom additions are meant to be used during the warmer months, and generally not used once the temperature drops during the late fall and winter months. Many three season sunroom or decks have sliding doors or screens that open up to the environment and can include ceiling fans for circulation.
 
These can be ideal for those who have an existing outdoor activity area like a pool, garden, or play area. It provides a place to cool down, dry off, or to clean up before entering the home itself.

Enclosed Porch

If the front of your home has enough space, you may prefer to have this new feature front and center; seen as soon as your guests arrive. The benefits of an enclosed porch are far reaching. From a place to dry off from the rain before entering the home to a sitting area during the hot days of summer. An Arlo handyman can assist you with your home remodeling addition.

​And speaking of seasons:

Four Seasons Patio Enclosures

Now home additions contractors can also create a patio sunroom that is temperature controlled. This will enable homeowners the luxury of using their new addition year-round, rain or shine, sleet or snow. The trick is in the glass that is used. It is designed to keep the room warm in cooler temps and cooler during warmer days. And with the professional installation from Arlo Contraction, it is built to last.

Spare Room or Office Space

​Still others may be looking for additional space for a seasonal visiting family member or a new home office. At Arlo Contracting we can finish off a patio or porch, much like we can finish off your basement; sealed walls with drywall, trim and molding, and well insulated. A handyman can also install light fixtures complete with light switches, GFCI electrical outlets, and ceiling fans, making the addition just as comfortable as the rooms within your existing home.
