The term mudroom is used to describe a room in or adjacent to a house that is designed specifically for the removal of dirty or wet footwear and clothing. With the climate in Winnipeg getting more extreme with each passing year, local homeowners desire to build a mudroom addition. The benefits of a mudroom addition include the following:
- Occupant and guest convenience.
- Protects the home interior from dirt and moisture that not only ensures cleanliness, but mitigates the risk of damage and injury to occupants/guests (limiting potential for slip-and-falls, etc.).
- Enhanced organization of in-and-out clothing, accessories, and other items.
- Provides extra storage space for seasonal recreational gear and the like.
- May also include other installations, such as laundry appliances.
- Can be used to maintain litter boxes for household pets.
- Can increase market value of a home.
The benefits are numerous and there is certainly a return on investment. So which contractor should you choose to build a mudroom addition for your Winnipeg home? Vulcan Construction. Not only do we have extensive experience in building mudrooms in the area (view a recent project) there are other advantages to choosing Vulcan.
Why Choose Vulcan Construction When Seeking a Mudroom Addition Contractor in the Winnipeg area
I. Determining Optimal Placement of Entryway Mudroom Addition
If you know exactly where you want the mudroom to be installed, we can get started right away. However, you may not be sure about where you want it added. Generally, a mudroom should be placed at a key point of entry into a home, or prior to the main point of entry. Vulcan will assist in determining optimal placement, assessing where the least amount of work (and permits?) will be required to access plumbing and electrical as needed. Below are areas that you may be wondering about.
Add Mudroom to Front of House?
Logically, most homeowners want to add a mudroom to the front of the house as it is their primary point of entry. If there is space available (i.e. you have a long or wide entry hallway) Vulcan can make it work with existing space while protecting (and enhancing) the aesthetic and functional integrity of the entryway. If there is no interior square footage to tap into, but there is exterior space to work with, we will use our expertise in home additions to get the job done.
Adding a Mudroom in Garage?
Adding a mudroom to an existing garage makes great sense when household occupants arrive back at home at the end of the day via the garage. If this is your preferred route, find peace of mind that Vulcan Construction is Winnipeg’s leading garage renovation expert. As such, we will devise garage and mudroom addition plans to ensure optimal functionality, without getting in the way of parking, tool placement, storage, and other points-of-use in the space.
Front Porch Mudroom Addition?
Do you have a spacious front porch that you hope to leverage to add a mudroom? As Winnipeg’s preeminent deck and patio contractor we will come up with a strategy to add coverage for a mudroom that does not get in the way of enjoying the outdoor area of your home, and without harming curb appeal.
Other Exterior Mudroom Addition?
Our expertise in Winnipeg home additions and expansions makes us uniquely qualified to build a mudroom on any available plot of exterior square footage, be it at the front, side, or back of the house. If needed, we can design a wooden, stone, or concrete pathway and install an entirely new entryway to create a new point of entry, if that is something you find appealing. The possibilities are endless with Vulcan Construction!
