"We had our entire house remodeled by Dream Flooring. I met with nearly a dozen contractors and companies looking for the best fit for our needs and budget. Jose and Dream Flooring exceeded expectations and went above and beyond what any other company could offer, let alone within our budget. We had an extension added, vaulted our ceilings, bathroom remodel, kitchen reconfiguration and expansion, living room upgrade, entire siding and gutters redone. THEY DO IT ALL! We could not be happier with our house, which now feels like a home thanks to their team. Professionalism throughout the entire process. Highly recommend."

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.
