"Great company! I am a contractor, and I have referred them for years, but I have never used them personally until now. The price was reasonable, the service was amazing and the cleanup was great. They were very thorough in their explanations of what they were doing and how they were doing it and what the warranties were. Great experience."

"Terrible. Do not trust this contractor. Substandard work throughout (collapsing bedroom ceiling after framing and drywall was applied to enlarge the bedroom), very poor quality painting, dangerous and shoddy electrical work in my attic, and the contractor failed to repair the damage his debris bin caused to my asphalt driveway. Absolutely terrible experience. Sadly, the VA Regional Office in Houston paid him in full and denied me the opportunity to contest his outright lies about the asphalt damage. I shudder to think what happens to my fellow disabled Veterans who lack the background I have in electrical work, painting, etc. when this contractor does VA funded remodeling in their homes. I’ve had to involve VA Headquarters in Washington DC on these issues. I am a longtime Veterans advocate.

"My mom and I purchased a home built in 1984 and it still had the original tiny kitchen. We were blessed to work with Smart Interiors and what a wonderful experience this turned out to be!! Ilse Scarborough over delivered on our beautiful new kitchen, we could not be more pleased. Ilse listened to everything we needed and came up with exceptional solutions, not only is this kitchen everything we dreamed of but we were told step by step throughout the whole process what to expect and what would be done next as well as keeping the time-line. All of this superior customer service coupled with amazing craftsmanship and managed to stay on budget. I 100% recommend Smart Interiors for your Kitchen/Bath remodels you will not be disappointed!

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Universal City, TX

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.
