Hello, my name is Al Birkenmeier, I am president of Birkenmeier and Sons, Inc.. So grateful for Angie's List and the Super Service Award 11 years in a row. I started my custom building and remodeling company in 1980 after 9 years in the commercial construction industry working with companies like McCarthy Bros., Hercules and Tarlton. I have pursued my love of providing the highest quality of construction while working hard at keeping my overhead down to keep it as affordable as possible. The proof is always in what my past has to offer so please don't hesitate to contact my past clients through a client reference list I would be happy to share with you as 99.9% are not Angie's List Members. Our quality of work and service is second to none so please let us offer you a no cost estimate and opinion for your next custom home or remodeling project. Thank you much, Al Birkenmeier
"Al is a true professional and we are so glad we chose Birkenmeier & Sons. First of all, Al brought his subcontractors with him to the initial meeting so he could provide an accurate proposal. Al also brought in a professional decorator to help design project and pick out fixtures and materials. Once we got started, they went to great lengths to put up plastic barriers and floor protection to protect the rest of the house from construction dust and debris. Demolition went quickly and the renovation process went smoothly. Al's carpenters and subs were all very professional and friendly. Al was on scene throughout the process to make sure job was done right. We are completely satisfied with the results, highly recommended!"

Second story addition building services FAQs
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.
