Second-Story Additions done right
When your lot is tight or you want to keep the yard, building up is the answer. We add full second stories, dormers, and partial upper levels to ranches and capes across the region.
These are major projects, and we treat them that way — careful structural engineering, weather protection, and tight scheduling so your home is reopened to the sky for as little time as possible.

Frequently asked
Can my house support a second story?+
Most can with the right structural work. We assess the foundation and framing and engineer the upgrades needed before we build.
How long are we exposed to the weather?+
We plan the open-roof phase carefully and tarp nightly — the goal is to get you weather-tight as fast as possible.
Is this cheaper than moving?+
For many families, yes — and you keep the neighborhood, schools, and yard you already love.
