Our Process

How We Build Your Second Story

A second story addition is a major project. Here's how we approach it to minimize disruption and deliver quality results.

1

Consultation & Assessment

We evaluate your existing structure, discuss your needs, and determine if a second story is feasible for your home.

2

Design & Engineering

Custom design that matches your home, plus structural engineering to ensure your foundation and walls can support the addition.

3

Permits & Approvals

We handle all permit applications, zoning requirements, and approval processes with local authorities.

4

Roof Removal & Framing

We remove the existing roof, reinforce the structure as needed, and frame the new second story.

5

Systems & Finishing

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC extensions, insulation, drywall, and all interior finishes.

6

Final Walkthrough

Complete inspection, punch list items, final approval, and handover of your new living space.

Important Considerations

Structural Requirements

Not all homes are candidates for a second story. Your foundation and existing structure must be able to support the additional weight. We assess this during our initial consultation.

Timeline & Living Arrangements

Second story additions typically take several months. You may need to make temporary living arrangements during roof removal and framing phases.

Zoning & HOA

Height restrictions, setback requirements, and HOA rules may affect your project. We research these before providing final plans.

Budget Planning

Second story additions are significant investments. We provide detailed estimates and can discuss financing options to make your project possible.
