Is your Pittsburgh split-level home cramping your style?
Split-level homes were introduced in the 1950s and 1960s but gained immense popularity in the 1970s. At the time, they were a cost-effective solution that suited small suburban plots of land. However, just as the harvest gold refrigerators and vinyl kitchen floors of the 1970s are no longer in fashion, split-level homes don’t always work well in our modern times.
If you own a split-level home, an addition is a great option to add more space and create a layout that is more suitable for today’s modern lifestyle. Here are some of the challenges of split-level homes:
- Too many stairs!
- Outdated style
- Exterior steps
- Lower resale value
- Lack of natural light
Bring your split-level home into the 21st century with a modern home addition
Because split-level homes have staggered levels, they can be especially difficult to add to or renovate. For example, if you plan to build another level, it may entail changing the entire roof alignment. If you’re building up, you’ll need to add windows, so it looks like an organic part of your home. An experienced, knowledgeable contractor (like Action Builders!) understands the challenges of split-level home additions and renovations, resulting in a more modern, functional home!
Here are some split-level home addition and renovation ideas:
- Add a master suite
- Build a sunroom
- Extend your garage
- Design a modern front portico for an updated style and renewed curb appeal
- Add an upstairs dormer
- Replace small windows
- Install more windows
- Add skylights
- Remove non-weight-bearing walls to create an open floor plan
- Renovate the basement
