Two-Story Home Addition

15 Sep Two-Story Home Addition

Balducci Additions and Remodeling recently completed this two-story home addition in Mechanicsville, VA. The clients love to garden and dreamed of a space where they could enjoy their backyard throughout the year.

The project included a two-story home addition off of the back of the home. The addition added on just over 500 square feet of living space from the first and second floors.

Mini-Split System

Our company also installed two Carrier mini-split systems in the addition to provide extra comfort, one upstairs and one downstairs. Mini-split systems, sometimes referred to as split systems or split-ductless systems, are a great option for additions since they provide a cost-effective way to provide heating and cooling. The mini-split system comes with its own thermostat. Thus, you can save money by turning off the mini-split’s thermostat in the space if it isn’t occupied, while still keeping the AC on in the rest of the home.

A pair of French doors off of the kitchen leads to the first floor of the addition, which includes a bright sunroom. The sunroom features windows on the three main walls. We incorporated picture windows on the wall that faces the backyard to allow for a less obstructed view. The side walls house single hung windows, that can allow for fresh air to come in.

The second floor of the addition features a spare bedroom and walk-in closet.

Right off of the first floor sunroom we installed French doors that lead to a composite deck. The decking material is Trex Tropics composite decking in the color “Tiki-Torch.” The attached composite deck juts out 8 feet and provides the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee or simply a place to enjoy the views.
