Additions

More Space, More Value, More Possibilities.

Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, so why not make it work for you? Whether you need more living space for a growing family, want a dedicated home office, or dream of a sun-soaked four-season room, a well-planned home addition can transform the way you live while significantly increasing your home’s value.

At The Busy Builders, we don’t just add square footage, we add function, comfort, and long-term financial benefits. A thoughtfully designed addition can boost your home’s resale value by 50% – 80% of what you invest, making it one of the smartest home improvement projects you can undertake.

And unlike moving, which comes with hefty real estate fees, moving costs, and the hassle of uprooting your life, an addition lets you stay in the neighborhood you love while making your home fit your needs.

How Much Does a Home Addition Cost?

When considering a home addition, budget is always a top concern. While the price depends on size, design, and finishes, here’s what you can generally expect:

Typical Home Addition Costs in Iowa:

Smaller Additions (sunrooms, bump-outs) → $200 – $300 per sq. ft.
Mid-Sized Additions (extra bedrooms, expanded kitchens) → $300 – $700 per sq. ft.
Larger or Luxury Additions (second stories, master suites) → $600 – $900+ per sq. ft.

How does this impact your home’s value?

According to real estate studies, a well-executed home addition can return 50% – 80% of its cost in increased property value. That means a $100,000 investment could boost your home’s resale price by $50,000-$80,000.

Even if you’re not planning to sell anytime soon, you’re building equity while enjoying a more functional and beautiful home.

At Busy Builders, we believe in transparent pricing, no hidden fees, no budget surprises. We’ll work with you to maximize your investment, ensuring your addition adds both practical living space and real financial value.
