New Split Entry Home Entryway Addition Bump-Out Remodel Before and After Progress Slideshow

In 2023, after almost ten years of living in my dreaded split-level entryway home, I finally made my dream come to fruition to make a USEABLE entry for my family. I added a 6'x11' bump-out to expand the size of the foyer area and make it functional. I was able to add custom storage, seating, and necessary SPACE for everyone to use. This video include before and after photos, as well as progress photos throughout the remodeling process. This was a great way to make my split entry house functional--and beautiful!

Incredible!! I have lived in split level homes my entire life, and can't believe this type of renovation isn't more common! Can you share the estimated costs (a breakdown for the excavation, etc. would be amazing) and the part of the country this is at? Any other suggestions or tips for people who want to copy your idea?

Hello! This is amazing looking to do something similar, can you please share round about on price completed as well as any pitfalls i should avoid!! Please and thank you!

Looks fantastic and really changes the functionality of the entry! Thanks for posting this for those of us who want to do something similar!

No problem! I had been through so many websites trying to find something similar, so I understand the frustration of finding something to emulate and show to a potential contractor. I designed it all myself and the contractor just went with the flow! :) A few months with it now and seriously--LIFECHANGING! No more tripping over kids on the stairs putting shoes on! LOL

This is so great! I am wanting to do something like this too. How long did it take? Were you able to live in the house during the renovation? Thanks!

I LOVE IT! ❤ We too have been living with ours for 10 years! Ours is identical except for we don’t need to excavate or add stairs because our entry is at ground level. We’re talking with a contractor now about bumping ours out. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the ballpark cost? Any do’s and dont’s would be greatly appreciated too! Thank you for sharing!

This is great! What would it cost approximately? I want to do this as well

Very nice project; congratulations. It’s very attractive. I know it cost a pretty sum and took months, no?
