Research shows that when it comes to big purchases, people research for hours online about cost, quality of the product, quality of the company's work, and more. A remodel or home addition is not only a very big purchase but a large investment in your home, your neighborhood, and for your family.
After researching reviews and the quality of work - the cost of a home addition can stop some people in their tracks if they come to find out it was more than they were expecting. At Tilghman Builders, we want to be transparent with you about the potential cost of your home addition. We understand that no two houses are ever the same, which results in no two additions ever being the same - but with this blog we can give you a better idea of what prices you can expect.

You may have enough bedrooms to fit the family, a decently-sized kitchen, and plenty of bathrooms to go around - yet when it comes to your living space there's barely any room.

So, what does it cost to do a living room addition in Bucks County or Montgomery County, PA? The cost really varies. For example, a small 10'x12' addition that expands a living room, could average $60,000.
