5 Signs It’s Time for a Bathroom Addition

If your morning routine feels more like a battle for the shower—or if guests constantly ask, “Is there another bathroom?”—you may be overdue for a bathroom addition. In Portland, where many older homes have just one full bath, adding another can dramatically improve comfort, convenience, and resale value.

1. Your Family Has Outgrown the Bathroom Schedule

Whether it’s kids getting ready for school or partners rushing to work, too few bathrooms can create daily stress. A bathroom addition—especially a half-bath or second full bath—can streamline routines and reduce wait time.

2. You Host Guests or Rent Out Space

If you regularly host visitors or rent out a basement or ADU, a shared bathroom can be awkward. Adding a dedicated guest or tenant bathroom improves privacy and makes your home more welcoming.

3. You’re Remodeling an Underused Space

Converting an attic, garage, or basement into living space? Don’t forget the bathroom. A thoughtfully designed bathroom addition completes the transformation and makes the space self-contained and practical.

4. Aging in Place or Multigenerational Living

As more Portland homeowners prepare for long-term living or care for aging family members, an accessible bathroom on the main floor becomes a must. It supports mobility and independence without costly home modifications later.

5. You Want to Boost Resale Value

Homes with too few bathrooms tend to sell for less—even in hot markets like Portland. Adding a bathroom can significantly increase your home’s value and appeal to a broader range of buyers.
