Room Addition Sub-Type Comparisons
Bedroom Addition vs Master Suite Addition
A standard bedroom addition is the lowest scope; a master suite (bedroom + bath + walk-in closet) roughly doubles the plumbing scope and total.
Second Story Addition vs Sunroom Addition
Second-story additions require foundation reinforcement and full re-roof; sunrooms (prefab or stick-built) skip much of the structural work.
