        "text": "Deciding between remodeling an existing room or building an addition depends on your current square footage and property limits. If you have unused bedrooms or an oversized floor plan, converting that space into a master suite preserves your lot and simplifies exterior work, though you sacrifice existing rooms. If your home already feels crowded, building a new ground addition provides extra square footage without losing common areas, provided your yard setbacks and lot coverage limits allow new exterior construction.",
