  space indoors, its easy to see why.

• Increase your outdoor space with a balcony
• As mentioned above, adding a balcony to your home
  is one of the easiest ways to increase your
  outdoor space, and with many people having been
  confined to their homes during the recent and
  ongoing pandemic, balconies were in high demand.
  Even a small balcony gives you the opportunity to
  grow some plants and step outside to take a
  breath of fresh air or admire the view.

• A balcony can add significant value to your home
• Provided you have your balcony professionally
  built and maintain it well, it can add a
  significant amount to your homes value, and can
  prove very attractive to buyers should you decide
  to sell it.
• Designing and building your balcony
• When thinking about adding a balcony to your
  home, youll need to take a variety of factors
  into consideration, such as size, style and
  whether you need to acquire a permit to have it
  constructed. Other key factors include

• Access
• Where will the balcony be accessed from within
  your home?
• Materials
• Should you have your balcony made from wood, wood
  composite, vinyl or cement? A discussion with
  your chosen construction contractor should help
  you decide.
• Balustrade
• What style should you choose for the balustrade
  semicircle, straight or angular?

5

• Do you require a permit to have a balcony
  constructed?
• The quickest and most reliable way to find the
  answer to this question is to consult with your
  chosen licensed contractor. With their up-to-date
  knowledge of all the latest rules and regulations
  regarding construction projects, they will be
  able to check with your local authority as to
  whether you must obtain approval and a proper
  permit to go ahead with the project. Hiring the
  services of a local contractor is best as they
  will have a much better understanding of the
  processes for construction projects in New York
  City than a contractor from out of city or state.

• How much will it cost to add a balcony to your
  home?
• This will depend on a number of factors, such as
  the size and height of the balcony, what
  materials it will be constructed from, the cost
  of labor, and finishes. Whatever you end up
  spending on your balcony though, it should give
  you a solid return on your investment, and your
  chosen contractor will talk you through your
  pricing options before any work commences.
• The importance of having your balcony
  professionally constructed
• DIY balconies may present a significant hazard,
  especially if theyre poorly designed and built,
  and instead of adding value to your home, could
  easily detract from it. Not only that, but you
  could get yourself in hot water with the local
  authorities if you dont gain the relevant
  permissions and permits.

• Hire a professional construction contractor with
  the appropriate experience and licenses to build
  your balcony, and you could give yourself extra
  outdoor space, increase your homes value and
  make it more attractive to prospective buyers.
