It is important to understand that, depending on the time and the current trends and popular styles, different elevations will be more appealing to some people than others. At any given point it is true that some designs just look better than others. If you are planning of selling your house, it is a good idea to have elevations similar to other homes in the area and the particular styles that are most common and popular at the time. The reason for this is that it will appeal to a larger number of buyers and therefore have more potential buyers to begin with. If the elevation and design of your house is tailored to a specific style of type of person not necessarily the norm in your area, it may be more difficult to generate much interest in it.

It's a good idea to keep in mind that some designs look cheap or dated even though they may cost a great deal to construct. Dormers are very popular in some areas, but would be considered cliché and out of place in others. It is important to make sure that your home fits the style of other surrounding ones and that you don't add on unnecessary features that will cost you money and not necessarily bring back more value.

A good benchmark to judge the elevation you your house is " Do I like the way it looks?" and if not what would you change? You can also ask friends and neighbors the same question asking for their honest opinion so you can make the best decisions. The elevation of your home is important for many reasons and there are many different options to consider if you want to change it in any way. It is good to plan ahead and determine if any money spent on it will provide a sufficient return to justify the costs in time, effort and money. Do some research on the demographics in your area to make the best choices about the elevation of your house should you choose to make any changes. It could bring you a higher resale value or just a more enjoyable experience for yourself.
