"Artistic Kitchen Concepts is the perfect name for this company. Clearly Jeff Hughes is an ARTIST! While maintaining our original well-made cabinets, Jeff helped us select new cabinet doors and handles. In addition, he updated the inside of several cabinets with drawers and lazysusans to make our pans and dishes more easily accessible. The quality of the cabinets inside and out are absolutely outstanding! Our new look could not be more perfect and whole heartedly matched our expectations! We appreciated Jeff's knowledge, professionalism, and expertise as we worked through the various decisions."

Upon transitioning to a smaller owner operated business, we are pleased to see a high turnover rate due to continued support and customer referrals.

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Libertyville, IL

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.
