Can You Add a Deck, Sunroom, or Garage to an RTM Home?
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a Ready-to-Move (RTM) home from Destiny Homes is the flexibility you have after your home is delivered. Because our homes are fully constructed on-site at our outdoor building lot, and not factory-assembled like a prefab or modular home, you’re working with a traditionally built home that just happens to be moved to your property. That means you can absolutely add a deck, sunroom, or garage to your RTM home, just as you would with any stick-built house.
Built Like a Site Home, Just Moved Once
Every Destiny Homes RTM is built to the same building codes and quality standards as a home constructed directly on your land. The only difference is that we build it in a controlled environment and deliver it in one piece to your prepared foundation. Because of that, your new home is structurally sound and ready for additions such as decks, full sunrooms, or even garages.
When to Add a Deck or Porch
You can choose to have your deck or porch built right after the home is set on your foundation, or plan it for a future project. Many homeowners prefer to have the framing and connection points prepared during the initial setup, making the addition easier and faster down the road.
Whether you’re picturing a small front landing, a wraparound veranda, or a spacious backyard deck for summer barbecues, these additions integrate seamlessly with your RTM home.
Considering a Sunroom Addition
A sunroom or three-season room can also be added after your home is delivered. Because Destiny Homes RTMs are constructed to standard residential specifications, your contractor can attach a sunroom using the same methods and materials used for any conventional home. This allows you to expand your living space while maintaining the same exterior finishes and energy efficiency.
Preparing for a Garage
One of the easiest ways to save money upfront on your new home build is to plan for a future garage. At Destiny Homes, we make that simple. If you’d like a garage, even if you’re not ready to build it right away, we’ll include the blueprints for both the garage and its foundation as part of your home’s design process. The best part? Your garage doesn’t have to be detached. By planning ahead, we ensure the garage will attach seamlessly to your home when you’re ready to build. We also help you save on finishing costs by only weatherproofing the side of your home that will eventually connect to the garage. It’s fully protected from the elements, but you won’t have to remove siding later, making your future build faster, cleaner, and more affordable.
Planning Ahead for a Smooth Build
If you know from the start that you’ll want a deck, porch, or sunroom, it’s a good idea to discuss it during your design stage. Our team can advise on window placements, door locations, and site setup to make sure your future addition fits naturally with your layout and doesn’t require rework later.
Endless Options for Your RTM Lifestyle
If you know you’ll eventually want a deck, porch, sunroom, or garage, it’s best to plan for it during the design stage. Our team can help with window placement, door locations, and site setup so your future addition fits seamlessly with your home. Once your RTM is settled on your property, you’ll have freedom to personalize your space. Whether you want a simple deck for morning coffee, a bright sunroom to enjoy year-round, or a garage to keep your car warm in the winter, Destiny Homes gives you the freedom to make it happen. Your home, your way.
