"Joe and his crew didn’t excellent job. I would definitely hire them again. They had a very good attention to detail, especially when it came to the orientation of the tiles and making sure that the tiles we chose we’re up-to-date and modern looking for the existing style of the kitchen.."

"These guys were amazing from start to finish. The communication from beginning to end was exceptional. Joe arrived on the date agreed and was very punctual, He first explained very clearly the process that he was using and how effective it would be in preventing water from entering my basement through this crack in the foundation. He then proceeded with his work and did so quickly and efficiently leaving no mess behind. I am thoroughly impressed with A-1 and wholeheartedly and highly recommend their high quality services. Plus, with their 10 year warranty, you can rest comfortably. Without doubt, these guys are A1."

"Last summer we hired another company to address a drainage and water pooling issue in our backyard. Once the work was finally done it was evident that the pooling and drainage issue was not resolved. In fact, it became worse. We reached out to Bocash Brothers after it became evident that we were going nowhere with the other company. Out of all the landscape companies we contacted to get quotes Bocash Brothers outshone the rest. We had so many no call no shows, but Bocash Brothers even went the extra step of calling to simply confirm our appointment. I met with Dillon and right off the bat it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. He was very professional, prompt, and educated me on my backyard needs and what my options were. Communication with Bocash Brothers was excellent throughout the process, any time I had a question or concern I had no problems reaching Dillon on the phone. They scheduled us soon after we signed the contract and completed the work in just ONE day. The whole crew was professional and friendly. I could immediately tell the difference in the work done between the original company versus Bocash Brothers. I highly recommend working with Bocash Brothers for any landscaping needs. It’s now been almost two months and our grass is growing in. Most importantly, NO POOLING ISSUES!"

"I emphatically urge you to avoid Richard Kumpel (RBK Enterprises). My partner and I hired Richard for a gut-reno of our home. We are currently in the process of taking Richard to court. He disappeared several months ago, with work still incomplete and with over $20,000 of our money, which we had pre-paid him for that work. We have also discovered that Richard violated code in several instances and we are in the process of filling a complaint with the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety against his contractor license."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Salem, MA

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.
