"Frank is excellent. He’s managed the number of projects for me now. One project was a bunch of renovations on homes for an adult foster care business I run. That was about $100,000 in work so far. He also managed the renovation of two buildings for our Mosque. That has been about $600,000 in work so far. Frank is extremely positive and always has an upbeat attitude, willing to make it work.

"From start to finish everyone at MBS was polite, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. After initial contact a design and materials selection appointment was quickly made, and a timely installation date was scheduled. My job started on time, and an installer worked at my home 8 hours each day until my kitchen and bathroom renovations were completed. The installers were very respectful to my property. They well cleaned their work areas at the end of each day, and finished the kitchen and bathroom within the time frame that I was quoted.

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.
