Second Story Additions
Is your family growing? Do you need more space but love your current home?
Adding a second level to your home is one of the most effective ways to increase square footage without sacrificing your yard. We specialize in vertical expansions for growing families in Ridgewood, Glen Rock, and Allendale who love their neighborhood but have outgrown their current floor plan. Our process is designed to handle the structural complexities of building upward while keeping your project on a clear, professional track.
Mandatory Pre-Construction
Adding a second story requires more than just new walls. It demands a deep look at your existing foundation and structural integrity. We made our Pre-Construction Process mandatory to address these technical needs before any work begins.
During this phase, we move from structural concepts to a Detailed Cost Analysis. We discuss permits and identify long lead time materials early. We also value engineer the project to ensure your new master suite or extra bedrooms fit your luxury aesthetic without unnecessary structural spending. Only after the plan is fully vetted and finishes are selected do we move to a fixed price construction contract.
Communication
Expansions aren’t just stressful on your budget. They cause stress and uncertainty for your whole family. To eliminate the stress as much as we can, we use specific tools to keep you connected to the job:
-
You get 24/7 digital access to your project through the CoConstruct app to see daily logs, schedules, and progress photos.
-
We guide you through the selection process to replace vague allowances with real, fixed pricing based on your specific material choices.
-
Our team manages the entire project with a focus on protecting your existing home and minimizing disruption to your daily life.
