Elevator Service, Elevator Repair, Elevator Modernization

"Horrible company to deal with. They came out to help to bring the elevator to the first floor. It was stuck due to a power outage on the block. They came out at 3pm Thursday and overcharged us overtime and travel time. As you can see from their publish hours 3 pm is within their working hours. They didn't tell us the overtime rate nor tell us that we would be charged over time.The service took under 45 minutes. Smartrise billed us for two hours at 454.00 an hour, total 908.00. When I spoke to Art at the company trying to discuss the proper amount for this service, he used profanity and name calling. Art hung up on me rather than communicate."

"My experience with this family owned business was beyond amazing. The 22 years old carpet in my two story, furniture filled, house was in desperate need of replacement. I had put it off as long as I could. From the moment I walked into their showroom, Kim and her son Evan, assured me they were up to the task. Yes, I would need to do some pre-prep, move small items, including Televisions and other Electronics, empty the Hutch, Curio Cabinets, Credenza, Closets etc. but their installers would handle the heavy stuff. The professional, efficient, friendly installers arrived at 7:45 AM. They looked at the situation and announced that the scheduled two day job could be completed in one day! It was like Carpet Ninjas had arrived. The three man crew swooped in and moved all the furniture, removed the old carpet, installed 200 square yards of beautiful new carpet and moved the furniture back, all by 5:45. I am thrilled beyond words, with my new carpet. This was an awesome experience. You can trust this company to exceed your expectations."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in San Diego, CA

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.
