First and foremost, there are building codes and covenants to consider that may restrict you from adding a second story addition. So make sure to visit your local building inspector and check your covenant documents first before embarking on a second story extension.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Second, there could be architectural limitations with your home that either prevent the possibility of building a second story addition, or make it extremely costly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For example, at a minimum expect that the ceiling joists in your home will need to be beefed up to support the increased load of another floor level. <\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1880301016\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1880301016&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=a05f6a3ae9430a3184ce63dd21f7cdad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=1880301016&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1880301016\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Secondly, even the existing walls of the home may need to be strengthened to support the extra load of the new floor level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Third, there is also the possibility that the foundation walls will need to be reinforced to support adding a second story addition onto your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">All of these items add tremendously to second story addition costs. But it many cases, not all are required to do to build a 2nd story addition. So make sure you have an architect or a structural engineer take a look at your home during the planning phases of the second story addition project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Third, family upheaval is another major factor to consider when deciding upon adding a second story addition onto your home. Due to the fact that the roof of the home has to be removed for adding a second floor onto it, there is no practical way the home can be occupied while the construction work is going on. Consequently, alternative temporary living space will be required during the second story addition construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Fourth, it is critical that the right home remodeling general contractor be hired. Great care and attention to detail are vitally important factors when constructing second storey additions. The removal of the home\u2019s roof and any other demolition necessary has to be done in such a way as not to damage the first level floor of the home. Moreover, preventative care is essential to protect the first floor from becoming weather damaged while adding a second story addition onto the home. Thus, it is important to hire a home remodeling contractor that has a proven track record of adding second story additions onto homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So to summarize, adding a second story addition onto your home is expensive and complicated, but in most cases, it is cheaper to do than selling your home and moving to a larger one. However, building a second story addition requires additional upfront homework, better planning, and more careful construction than the average bump-out home addition. As a result, it is incredibly important to hire the right home remodeling contractor who has a proven track record in building 2nd story additions. To conclude, if you love your home and want to stay in it, but have a growing family and a limited lot size, adding a second story onto your home is definitely a great way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>For more help on building a home addition<\/b><\/span>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s<b> <a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\">. <\/span><\/b>Our\u00a0<b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a> <\/b>provide you with the knowledge and information on how to plan a home building project, and what to look for when hiring contractors.
