"American Home Shield sent them, I had what turned out to be a difficult drain blockage near my washing machine. But, they came in, did not try to snake anything, just looked at the drain, and said they need to install a clear out inside the house for $950, not covered under my warranty, and then they can begin trying to clear the drain for$500, but I have old pipes and they may need to be replaced. I declined, called another plumber, who worked hard for a total of 4 hours over 2 days, but eventually found and cleared my blockage with different sized snakes for $600. Google Mr. Rooter for rip-off stories all over the country. They immediately want to tear up your pipes and find all kinds of new charges to add. I wasn’t gonna let myself get scammed."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Galveston, 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.
