What to plan for in Millersville
Mixed housing ages
Older homes often need system updates during a remodel; newer ones are usually about upgrading finishes. Tell your contractor the year your home was built; it changes the estimate.
Well and septic on some lots
Some Millersville homes are on private well and septic. Additions that add bedrooms can require Health Department review of the septic system.
Additions on larger lots
Bigger lots make ground-level additions practical: a primary suite, a family room or an expanded kitchen. Setbacks and lot coverage still apply, so start with a site plan.
