        "text": "Borrowing interior space is generally faster and avoids exterior foundation work, but it reduces the footprint of adjacent living areas or closets. An exterior home addition preserves your existing interior rooms and allows for a customized layout, but it involves foundation pouring, exterior framing, and exterior wall modifications such as siding or stucco work. Homeowners must evaluate whether sacrificing storage space or an adjoining bedroom corner makes more sense than paying for structural exterior construction. The condition of your surrounding rooms and overall budget help decide the right trade-off.",
