"I accepted a bid and work was scheduled for end of June. At the quote Justin told me the job would likely be done early. I was called and the job was pushed back a week. Then that date came, and they tried to push me to July 24. A parent had surgery that day and I told them that didn’t work. So they moved it up to July 10. July 8 & 9th two people told me I was still on the books. Day of the foreman called me and canceled the job. They again tried to push me to July 24th. After a 3rd cancellation I asked for my down payment back. They told me it’s not their fault. That the foreman was in the hospital with cancer. Then why was I told the day before I was good to go? And why did the foreman personally call me to cancel if he was hospitalized? I was then told by 3 different people I would not be charged the 10% cancellation. When my refund check came, they withheld the money. I called about it and left voicemails. All were ignored. Finally got someone on the phone who said he would look into it and call me back. That’s hadn’t happened. This company is a bunch of liars and crooks."

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.
