What is a Home Addition?
Home additions are a great way to add livable square footage to your home, typically adding an extension to your existing home structure. Many people expand into the patio, the garage, above the garage, or to the sides if the land permits.
Is a Room Addition Right for You?
Maybe you were an empty-nester but your twenty-something moved back and to their dismay you appropriated their area long ago. Maybe it’s time your parents move in with you so you can keep a closer eye on them while they still retain their freedom. Or maybe you have tons of relatives visiting you all the time. Then it may be time to add-on to your home. In this case you may also consider adding a completely separate guest home if your land permits.

Home Addition Factors To Consider For North Dallas Homes
Factors to Take Into Consideration:
Many factors need to be taken into consideration when deciding if adding a room to your home is the right move. You have to look at your land size, look at any land restrictions your property and zoning may have, and consider the cost and whether it is worth the investment.
With a Room Addition comes the expansion of electricity, air conditioning, heating, plumbing, security etc. Along with city permits (if required) and drawings the costs involved begin to increase.
But if you already have your dream home and you need to add more space because you’re feeling tight or ready for a larger bedroom, then it would be worth the investment.
Depending on how old your home is, adding a new room may cause you to have to remodel additional areas. You want the new addition to blend seamlessly with the existing home on the exterior and the interior, so sometimes it’s a little more difficult with older homes because the contrast between the new and the old is more noticeable. So be sure to consider if the materials still exist that would allow for a smooth transition if you’re not looking to do a full remodel.

Come visit our showroom in Frisco, Texas, and meet the team! In the meantime, here are some of the most common concerns and questions we get asked when it comes to remodeling in North Texas, a specialty at MTR Contractors.
-
How Do I Start My Claim?Call your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage! Our 24/7 Emergency response line: 972-432-7011 can be used for storm damage mitigation, just be sure to tell your insurance company when filing your claim, you already have a water damage mitigation team on the way. The insurance company will start your claim and send an adjuster. As soon as you receive that adjustment, we can get to work!
-
What Are Common Insurance Restoration Project Mistakes Homeowners Make?Besides not hiring a reliable, established insurance restoration contractor like MTR, homeowners make the mistake of abiding by their adjustment. The adjustment is a tool to negotiate with the insurance company for more work on your home, not a tool to find the lowest bid on your work. A true professional disaster restoration contractor understands how to handle a claim, and maximize it to your benefit, rather than making the common mistake of hiring the cheapest labor available.
-
How Does The Money Side of The Insurance Restoration Process Work? Who Pays who?Often, homeowners are under the impression that the insurance companies have their home's best interests at heart. This is not the case. In fact, when disaster strikes and insurance restoration claims are made, it's their job to minimize their exposure. Often omitting aspects of the scope-of-work, and areas that should be covered in the process. As insurance restoration specialists, we do all the work to ensure your supplements get approved, and your home is restored in accordance to proper building codes, and not just the insurance companies standard recommendations. You pay your deductible, then the insurance company often requires you to produce bids from 3 contractors. You are in your legal right, to choose whoever you'd like, not the cheapest. When you choose MTR, we maximize your allowable, and demand the insurance approves everything they missed. They often cut the checks directly to homeowners, or their preferred contractor if approved.
-
What is a Water Damage Restoration Contractor?Water damage restoration involves rescuing your home and belongings after water intrusion. This process includes removing water, drying, cleaning, and making necessary repairs. MTR Contractors offers complete services to tackle the underlying issue, prevent mold, and return your home to its original condition. Take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade your finishes! We work with the insurance to get your approvals for you.

How Long Does The Remediation Process Take?With MTR Contractors, your job starts as soon as all the materials needed to finish your restoration are in our hands.

Roofing jobs can be done as fast as 1-2 days, and complete remodeling and restoration projects take anywhere between that and 8 weeks, depending on damages.
