You’ll get both in S&J. As a family owned and operated business located in Howard County, MD we have been helping homeowners in all of Howard County MD, parts of Carroll County, Baltimore County and Northern Anne Arundel County Maryland and surrounding areas with their home improvement needs for over 20 years.
"If you are in need of home renovations or home repairs, S&J Remodeling is an AWESOME company to call on. We are extremely satisfied with their work! Following a hot water heater blowout that resulted in six plus hours of continuously running water, and knee-high water damage in our basement, we were in need of major repairs; S&J Remodeling best fit our request for proposal requirements, of which included basement remodeling, kitchen repairs, and interior / exterior painting and patching. S&J Remodeling’s pricing was competitive, and winning consecutive “Angi Super Service” accolades for 15 years running was definitely a plus!!! Their customer service and genuine friendliness is praiseworthy, certainly a quality seldom found. Stacey and Jerry’s program coordination, task execution management, responsiveness, and professionalism were instrumental in ensuring effective communication with Oscar, the on-site supervisor and myself. Their efforts led to well-scheduled and well-done task execution, allowing my wife to fulfill her 9-5 job responsibilities, and my family to maintain a high-level of comfort throughout the renovation and repair process. I will definitely call upon S&J Remodeling for any future home renovation or repairs. I recommend that you do the same!"

Communication is key! We are very familiar with 203k and other construction loan programs as well as insurance claim projects.
"Precision Remodeling did a phenomenal job rebuilding my leaky basement shower stall the result of poor installation from another contractor this spring. Jamie reassured me that his company uses quality waterproofing materials (Wedi) and employs skilled tradesman. Kirk, the plumbing technician, discovered a secondary leak in the piping and was able to correct the issue before shower installation. Steve meticulously waterproofed and tiled the shower in an intricate herringbone pattern. Grout lines are to perfection and no leaks! Jamie kept me informed of every aspect of the project. All members of the team were prompt, courteous, and clean. Precision Remodeling has earned my trust as a top-rated company. I look forward to my next full bath remodel."

Second story addition building services FAQs
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.
