Bigger Is Always Better: Expand Your Home With Glickman
There comes a point in almost every homeowner’s life when your beloved home just isn’t keeping up with you anymore. Maybe your family is growing, your lifestyle is evolving, or you simply want more room to spread out and enjoy. Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: expanding your home is about more than adding square footage, it’s about designing a space that truly supports the way you live.
At Glickman, we’ve helped countless families reimagine what “home” can be, and the results are always transformative. Let’s explore the many ways you can expand and why these additions aren’t just practical, but downright life-changing.
Bump-Out Additions: Big Changes Without Moving Walls
Imagine lingering a little longer around the kitchen island without feeling cramped, or finally having room for that cozy breakfast nook with sunlight pouring in. Bump-outs are small expansions to an existing room that pack a surprising punch. They can make your kitchen more functional, enlarge a primary bedroom with a sitting area, or create just enough space in a family room for everyone to gather comfortably. Sometimes, it’s the little extra space that makes the biggest difference in daily life.
Second-Story Additions: A Whole New World Upstairs
If you adore your neighborhood but have outgrown your home, going up instead of out is the ultimate solution. A second-story addition can double your living space without eating into your yard. Think expansive new bedrooms for the kids, a luxurious owner’s suite with a spa-like bath, or even a family game room that becomes the heart of the home. These additions open up new possibilities for your family
Sunrooms: Everyday Luxury, Year-Round
A sunroom isn’t just an addition. It’s a whole experience. It’s sipping coffee in the morning surrounded by natural light, or curling up with a book as the rain taps gently against the windows. It’s the space that becomes everyone’s favorite, whether for entertaining or finding a quiet retreat. And with the right design, sunrooms can be used year-round, bringing the outdoors in without sacrificing comfort.
We highly recommend adding a sunroom to your home if you are looking to add that cozy extra light or even desire a new way to enjoy the outdoors without having to step out the door.
Outdoor Expansions: Living Beyond Your Walls
Home expansions aren’t confined to the indoors. Covered porches, multi-level decks, screened patios, and outdoor kitchens transform your backyard into an extension of your home.
Picture evenings under the stars with friends, or family dinners on a porch that feels like an extra living room. These spaces add personality and charm to your home while providing more room to create memories.
Garage Additions: More Than Cars and Storage
A garage addition can be surprisingly versatile. Of course, it keeps vehicles protected and adds much-needed storage, but why stop there? Many homeowners create loft spaces for a home gym, workshop, or studio. Some even design stylish in-law suites or guest apartments above the garage, offering privacy and comfort for extended family or visitors. With the right design, your garage can do so much more than you expect.
Conversions: Unlocking Hidden Potential
While additions bring exciting new square footage, sometimes the biggest opportunities already exist within your walls. An unused attic can be transformed into a cozy office or playroom. A dark basement can transform into a vibrant home theater or bar. Conversions are a smart way to maximize what you already have, while complementing new expansions beautifully.
