Benefits of Second Floor Additions
- Excludes cost of foundation, excavation, and related site work
- No disruption to the existing landscape, retain open yard area
- It can be easier to extend electrical, plumbing, and HVAC
- Good cost vs. value – Can be less expensive than other types of additions and renovations
- It is the best and possibly the only option for small lots where building restriction lines and setbacks prohibit expanding the footprint
How is a Second Floor Addition Installed?
There are several ways to add this second floor addition to your home. One way would be to tear off the roof, build the second level, and then a new roof. Another way is to remove the existing roof, save it, and install it back onto the home after the second floor addition has been built. Lastly, a second floor can be added to an existing garage or a flat roof porch, shrinking the needed size.
A second floor addition is not a simple project. It is important to find a contractor with experience in these remodels and obtain information on the process and cost. Most second floor additions require an engineer’s professional service to develop detailed plans because the original structure may not be able to bear the weight of an additional story.
Important Considerations When Building a Second Floor Addition
During the construction process, you must vacate your home. This is an invasive remodel that requires the removal of the roof, exposing the inside of your home. A contractor with experience in this type of renovation knows all about protecting your home during the process. Adding a second floor requires more demolition and re-working of the electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning systems. Also, the consideration of the placement of stairs to reach the new level is of the utmost importance since this will affect the living space on the first floor.
