Can someone give me a guideline for the cost of building an addition to an existing home? For example, adding square feet to a bedroom, adding a room and adding a golf cart garage. I realize there will be a range but a ball park with be a great help to me and my husband. Thanks a bunch!

I can't give you a ball park because our project is different but if you do decide to do this call Jim Arvanitis of Demetri Homes (352-427-2787). He just finished our addition and we couldn't be more pleased.

Could you give me an idea of square footage. Also are there any bathrooms or plumbing??

Two bedrooms each adding 4 feet addition by 13 1/2. Master bedroom addition 4 feet by 15. In all three bedrooms the closets would need to be enlarged and two of the bedrooms have tray ceilings that would need to be enlarged. Also a golf cart garage and the existing lanai is 8 1/2 x 18 and I want it enlarged to 18 x 25 under heat and air. Hope that gives you a general idea.

First of all I just want to say this is only a ball park idea to give you some idea of the cost associated with these modifications.
Based on square footage you would be somewhere between $60,000 and $70,000, this is depending on what options for finishes and upgrades you may choose. The first step you must take is contacting the ARC to find out if your modifications will be allowed due to setbacks. If you decide it's something you may want to do I would gladly do a true estimate to come up with an exact cost. Visit us at Villageshomepros.com |

What I don't understand Village Home Pros is usually the contractor can tell from the site plan if the home will allow any modifications. That being said why would I contact ARC when the contractor is supposed to be the liaison between the homeowner and ARC. I would think you would be aware of that.

We are very aware of that. That being said I was simply trying to help you. All additions must get ARC approval first and no I can not tell from your site plan if they will approve or deny. You asked for some advice and we were trying to accommodate, sorry if we somehow offended you!!

Well we do things differently at Villages Home Professionals. We always get ARC approval before spending sometimes a thousand dollars or more of the customers money on engineering.
Good luck on your home modifications, I'm sure it will be beautiful. |

Exactly, ColdNoMore, but not from a contractor. I wanted to find out if any other homeowners had work done and which contractor they would recommend and the cost. Village Home Pros is representing several contractors. I would take what they say with a grain of salt. I'm not saying they are good or bad but I haven't heard anyone on Talk of the Villages say they had work done by them.

As a suggestion for the future, it might have went better for you if you had stated from the beginning that you didn't want any expert/professional opinions. Good luck. |

You are exactly right!! I should have and didn't. Now I know why I stopped posting on this site. Thank you for making a situation very uncomfortable to say the very least. Have a great evening!!
