"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"Would not use Contractors Plumbing again. While the work was fine, when I'm told there will be no charge because the piece they originally put in a brand new house less than 3 years ago was defective and he was taking it back to the shop, that is what I expect--no charge. I don't expect a bill just a few days later and the office response, it's out of warranty and up to the worker to relay the info. Absolutely no compassion or empathy by their office staff. Yes I am going to pay the bill, I pay my bills. I know I won't use them in the future as they are not trust worthy to back up what they say. I fully had expected to pay for the service because of course when you call them, the first thing after they look up your house is to say it's out of warranty. I would have been ok with that but not being lied."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Ankeny, IA

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
