When planning an addition, there are many necessary items to consider, such as region, market demand, craftsmanship, style, and materials. The answers to these will determine the return on your investment. Some additions, like a second bathroom, will return most if not all of your investment. Other additions, like adding offices or additional suites, may or may not. The most important consideration is to plan your improvement to align with the other homes in your neighborhood. You can add a full marble bath with gold-plated fixtures in a tile bath neighborhood, but the likelihood of recouping your full investment is unlikely.
The whole point of many additions is to satisfy your need for comfort and beauty. If making your investment back when you sell is not a primary consideration, and you have the time and money to spend, do what satisfies you. There are building codes, but no specific rules for design. If that full marble bath makes you happy, go for it!
A house addition, unlike many remodeling projects, will probably require permits. The assistance of an architect or designer will help you avoid making costly, time-consuming mistakes. Their design skills and specialized training allow them to offer solutions as well as come up with interesting, unusual, and effective materials to save money and time. You will benefit when a pro takes your needs and tailors your new addition to meet your unique requirements.

Nicknamed the “Mountain State,” West Virginia is very hilly and rugged, with the highest mean altitude (1,500 ft/457 m) of any state E of the Mississippi. Nearly all of the state is on the Allegheny Plateau, with the jagged Virginia–West Virginia line roughly following the eastern escarpment of the plateau (known as the Allegheny Front). Extremely irregular in outline, West Virginia has two narrow projections—the Northern Panhandle, which cuts north between Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the Eastern Panhandle, which cuts east between Maryland (with the Potomac River forming the state line) and Virginia. In the Eastern Panhandle, a part of the Appalachian ridge and valley country, lie the state's lowest point (240 ft/73 m) near Harpers Ferry where the Shenandoah River joins the Potomac, as well as its highest point, Spruce Knob (4,860 ft/1,481 m).
