Starter Home Improvements LLC - based in Oxford, CT

"Starter was supposed to give my home a new driveway, siding, and a garage. I was told by the contractor that the job would take 2 months. This was in July 2020. Next week is Memorial Day 2021. Mark has left piles of nails in my yard 10 months after we went into contract, in addition to a garage that still has no doors, and a poor drywall job for my interior living room that has to be deconstructed and redone. An excavator was even left on my property for months. Half of my yard was left looking like blight due to all of the rocks that were never removed. Explanations became hackneyed excuses. I had enough and finally went to the police. As for the dilapidated condition of my home, another contractor will finish the poor job that was done. The contract itself was reviewed by an attorney & found to be fraudulent."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Derby, CT

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.
