"? HOMEOWNER BEWARE ? Avoid This Company I hired Gallo?s Kitchen & Bath Design (Pt. Pleasant), also operating as FixT Construction, LLC (Brick), to order new cabinet doors and drawer fronts, paint them a custom color, and build uppers to take the cabinets to the ceiling. The project was supposed to take one week.It has now been three months, and the job is still not finished. They sell you on their 20+ years experience but farm all the work out. Gallo does not have an in?house team. All work is subcontracted Anthony and Dan rarely show up and never lift a hand to fix any of the issues just blame the workers. The management & workmanship has been terrible. The cabinet doors were sent back three times.The first 2 times, they were rolled with paint rollers, finally sent 3rd time for spray finish but no lacquer. Doors had damage. Basic cabinetry knowledge lacking. garbage pull?out was sent back to us as a standard cabinet door with hinges same with spice rack. Work still not completed."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in York, PA

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.
