"Ron took care of us so well. He installed a very expansive drainage system in our backyard since it was flooding consistently last August, and now almost a year later it still works perfectly. We have had awful rains this year, but no flooding at all. I highly recommend him!!!"

Independently owned and operated construction/ remodeling company, specializing in making your ideas a reality! We are willing and able to take on all projects big or small. Ready to start your project from the design phase and see it through all the way to the end, work together to make you happy!

"I recently hired KG Construction to remodel our shower, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. They were punctual, respectful of our space, and incredibly detail-oriented. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the tiles are perfectly aligned, the grout lines are clean and consistent, and the overall look completely transformed our bathroom. They also took the time to answer our questions, helped us choose the right materials, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find a contractor who combines skill, reliability, and great communication, but KG Construction truly delivered on all fronts. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality tile work, and I’ll definitely be calling them for future projects."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Gainesville, TX

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.
