        "text": "Home additions, garage conversions, detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and covered outdoor living spaces are the primary options. Ground-floor room additions expand your main layout for larger bedrooms or family rooms without altering vehicle storage. Garage conversions offer an enclosed living space within an existing roofline, though you give up covered parking. Detached suites or ADUs provide self-contained privacy for aging relatives or guests, while patios and pergolas extend functional entertaining space outside. The right selection depends on available yard area, budget limits, and how your household intends to use the extra room.",
