flori view landscaping LLC Service. Lawn maintenance. garden design Grass mowing. Leaf cleaning Fertilizing. Mulching . shrb trim Flowers bed . planting plants. patios sidewalk and seeding .retaining walls Fixed decks . renew decks . fence service

"Flori-view landscaping & owner Marcos Garcia graded our 0.85 acre lot & installed a new post & wire fence. We are very happy with his & his crew members work. Marcos is very easy to work with. He puts the customer first & works hard every day to achieve what the customer wants. If something isn’t quite right, Marcos endeavors to make it so. He is reliable, conscientious & honest as well as a very hard worker. We had almost a hundred trees cut down prior to the grading & it was a challenge to deal with the massive amount of roots. Every day until the work was completed I’d see Marcos out there digging up & cutting away more roots. They cleared out 3 dumpsters worth of roots, pine straw & wood chips. We are planning on Marcos building our fire pit come January. So if a company that does what they tell you they will do, or shows up every day, is reasonably priced & run by a person of integrity is important to you, hire Marcos & his Flori-view Landscaping. I highly recommend them."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Durham, NC

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.
