Expand Your Space, Expand Your Value

March 14th, 2025

Are you thinking about adding more space to your home? A well-planned addition does more than enhance your living experience — it boosts your property’s value. Home additions are one of the most strategic ways to invest in your future, providing immediate functionality and long-term financial benefits.

At Munz Construction, we specialize in smart home additions that combine style, function, and return on investment. The right addition can increase your home’s resale value and improve your comfort.

Here are some of the top additions that pay off:

1. In-Law Suites

In-law suites are a versatile and highly sought-after home addition. They provide a private living space for aging parents, extended family members, or long-term guests. Adding an in-law suite enhances your home’s functionality and market appeal with the growing trend of multi-generational living. Homes with in-law suites often stand out to buyers, as they offer flexibility for family needs or even potential rental income — a feature that can significantly boost your property’s appraised value.

2. Home Offices

As remote work becomes a permanent fixture in many industries, home offices have transitioned from a luxury to a necessity. A dedicated workspace increases home value by catering to modern buyers seeking functional and professional environments. Thoughtfully designed home offices with built-in storage, natural lighting, and soundproofing create a productive atmosphere while adding a strong selling point to your property. Homes with dedicated office space often command higher offers, as buyers prioritize move-in-ready work areas.

3. Expand Primary Suites

An expanded primary suite adds comfort and elegance to your home. Buyers are increasingly drawn to homes with spacious primary bedrooms, walk-in closets, and luxurious bathrooms. These upgrades transform your primary suite into a personal retreat, boosting your home’s overall appeal. Enhanced primary suites elevate your daily lifestyle and add a premium feel to your home, often resulting in a higher listing price when it’s time to sell.

4. Finished Basements

A finished basement unlocks the full potential of your home’s lower level. Whether converted into a family room, home gym, entertainment area, or guest suite, a finished basement adds valuable square footage without altering your home’s footprint. This cost-effective addition provides flexible space that adapts to your lifestyle while increasing your home’s appraised value. Real estate data shows that finished basements can yield a strong return on investment by offering additional living space that appeals to a wide range of buyers.

5. Sunrooms

Sunrooms seamlessly blend indoor comfort with outdoor beauty. These bright, airy spaces extend your living area and provide a peaceful retreat flooded with natural light. Sunrooms are beautiful for buyers who appreciate a connection to nature while enjoying the comforts of home. Beyond adding charm and functionality, sunrooms increase your home’s usable square footage — a key factor in boosting property value. They create an inviting space that enhances curb appeal and resale potential.

Munz Construction has done a number of large projects for us at our home over the past 18 yrs. They have always done a great job. Their workers are good and very courteous. We have always felt very comfortable with them in our house, especially Phil and Jason. Steve and Pete are easy to work with and are responsive to questions/issues. Bryan is very helpful when you need to make selections for your projects. The company stands behind their work and provides quality in a timely fashion, which can't be said for a lot of other companies these days. We would definitely recommend them!

Munz Construction did an amazing job with our basement remodel. The entire team was so pleasant to work with. Everyone that has come to our home since the remodel has been thoroughly impressed with the design. It really was a great experience to work with everyone at Munz. I’d like to also add that my husband tends to be an “overspender” and I am the complete opposite... so from the very start of our project , the design team made sure we were both comfortable with all of our selections. They always showed numerous options and price points for different things. So in the end, my husband and I were both so happy with everything. Thanks Munz, we’ll definitely use you again.

I did a major renovation of a 40 year old house. While touching virtually every room, the most significant changes included creating a new custom kitchen by combining the existing kitchen with a small dining room, creating a new master bedroom and converting a small bedroom into a large new master bathroom. I had contacted several well known home renovation companies who either did not seem to be interested in the large project or did not seem to offer the “full service” and support I needed. Steve and Bryan spent all the time I needed to make me comfortable making all the design decisions – not an easy task since I am design challenged! Any issues that came up, as would be expected in a project this size, were addressed. In addition, everyone made living in the house during construction as comfortable as possible. I would also like to say that the attention to detail and the finishing work done by their people was remarkable. The final results are fantastic! Needless to say I would use them again for any project and would highly recommend Munz Construction.

Chris and his crew were amazing! They added an addition that "touched" every room in the house. His workers were kind, courteous, and respectful AND they got the job done in a timely manner with WONDERFUL results. We love our new addition. We have the BEST house on the block!!!!

We were gutting and remodeling an old house that needed major work but that we didn’t want to tear down. Given the time and cost involved, we were very deliberate with our choice of contractor. We are very glad we chose Munz Construction as dealing with all of their employees was a pleasure from Day One (and the project took about a year so we had lots of contact). They always suggested ways to cut costs, had good suggestions to modify the blueprints to our advantage and never pushed unnecessary ideas. The design team was especially helpful as their three-dimensional computer models really gave us good insight into the final product and allowed us to make pre-construction tweaks of which we otherwise would not have thought. Munz was also very good about fixing things without complaint. As we approach one year in our new house, we are very happy and also receive lots of compliments on the design and preservation of the house.

We are very pleased with Munz Construction. We had the front of our house framed for new windows, new siding, stucco removal, new gutters, lighting etc. They helped with design ideas upfront and the house looks amazing. Erich and his team were very pleasant, professional and detail oriented. We would definitely use them again for any additional work in the future.

Everyone at Munz that we had the pleasure of working with were wonderful. From the beginning of our project, until the end everyone worked so hard. We had a new room, bathroom, and a beautiful porch put on our house. We are extremely happy. I would highly recommend this company.

Had great experience with Pete, our site manager, as well as Jason (construction), Jack (electrician ), Dave (painter), and all of the other subcontractors. Very clean, professional, pleasant. I found the initial process of general design less than ideal. Having little experience with this process, I didn't feel as informed as I could have been. I expected there may be options in layout and design, but that was not the case. In fact, the original design presented to us didn't really show a layout at all, merely a word document of what would be done. I was slightly taken aback when, e.g., there was no option for any kind of linen storage in the bathroom as the design completely removed a large closet that we had in order to make room for a stall shower. It was assumed we would want a whirlpool tub, and we weren't really asked about that option. These kinds of things made me a little uncomfortable with going forward. To us, it was a very expensive job, and yet I felt like it was not considered an important one when we sat with the designer. We felt much more comfortable when Pete met with us to go over the job expectations. There were very few glitches along the way, and Pete handled each of these very professionally. The work as completed is very good, and we are very happy with the end result.
