We are fast, reliable, creative, affordable with 20 years experience. We are veteran and family owned with the expectation of our customer satisfaction as a priority. We offer Veteran, Teacher, First Responder Discount

"I had a leak in my roof and it was assessed and repaired for $750 with a 3 year warranty. The roof assessment was wrong and the roof still leaked. They then offered to come back and fix the real problem associated with solar panel installation for $2,800- $3,000. They basically fixed a section of my roof that wasn't leaking, so I threw my money away. They claimed the $2800-$3800 included a discount based on my prior service but I've since had a cheaper quote. Honestly, I thought the warranty I paid for gave me peace of mind but technically their repair didn't fail. It was never the actual problem. Very disappointed with this company."

"Bradley Construction was a lifesaver! After a tree sideswiped our house, damaging the roof, gutters, and causing water to leak into a bedroom, we were overwhelmed.

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.
