"Excellent, no problems. My car was new the first year I used the service and there has never been any damage during the transports. The men picking up and delivering the car have always been pleasant and cooperative. Both Ely and Guy at United Transport has been highly responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend this company."

"Worked with Luis Zelaya (member of team Parodi) as a buyer’s agent for the purchase of a new house. Luis was very responsive – quickly returned calls / texts and contacted listing agents so that appointments could be set up within the day. In addition, he provided listings of potential houses in the neighborhood and recent sales to help in determining a good purchase price. In addition to his professionalism, Luis took the time to understand the needs of my family including the needs of our children (Luis is both very personable and family oriented). I have worked with many real estate agents and the combination of Luis’s professionalism and personality / family orientation makes him one of the best. I have recommended Luis to others in my family to help in the purchase and sale of their houses."

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