"The egg rock that my neighbor and I had installed in a water runoff area between his house and mine had failed and suffered damage every time we had a really heavy rain. Eric and his team put in a dry creek bed, which solved the problem. Having dealt with a number of landscape companies, I don't think I ever hired one more impressive than Nesbitt. Eric was cordial and professional,.. a pleasure to work with."

"We are thrilled with our new walk in shower and vanity. Eddie and Byron were exceptional craftsmen, honest & hard working & always kind and respectful. We recommend Limitless Renovations for high quality work. They maintained a clean workspace and were a welcome part of our days. They were all very professional with good attention to detail. They stayed in the budget. It cost a little more but was worth it. Christina, the saleslady, did not try to upsell us on anything. Carla and Kristy helped with many interactive texts and emails.

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Buford, GA

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.
