Second Story Addition Contractors
in Kitchener-Waterloo
These days, we’re spending more time than ever at home. Many homeowners are finding their houses cramped and low on storage, and many see moving as their only option.
Moving is a pain and it’s expensive. You have to find a new place, pack up all your stuff, hire movers, and unpack everything again. Factor in having to meet new neighbours and possibly put the kids in a new school, and it’s a wonder that many homeowners feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Fortunately, there’s another way. You can continue living in your home and neighbourhood, by investing in creating the perfect place for your family. A second story addition is a perfect solution for your space needs. FERRUZZO can add an extra room or two to your home so you don’t have to go through all of the hassles of moving. We’ll take care of everything from designing the addition to completing the construction work so you can enjoy your new space in no time.
How To Add A Second Story To Increase Your Home’s Square Footage
Have Your Existing House Inspected By A Structural Engineer
Second story additions are complex projects that use the existing foundation of your home to add a full second story. If you’re considering a second story addition to your home, there are a few things you’ll need to take into account before moving forward. The first is whether or not your house can support the weight of a second story. This can be determined by having a structural engineer inspect your house and provide their expert advice. With any project that requires an engineer, we will provide and work with our own engineer.
Determine the living space you need
The second thing you need to take into account is how much additional living space you actually need. This will help you determine the size of the addition and how many rooms you’ll be able to add.
Get advice from a qualified architect or designer
Once you’ve determined that your house can support a second story and you know how much living space you need, you’ll need to get input from a qualified architect or designer. They will be able to help you with the design of the addition and make sure that it blends in well with the existing house. Looking for a qualified designer? We can provide you one that can work with our team.
Get construction quotes and choose a contractor
After the design is complete, you’ll need to get construction quotes from contractors. That’s where we come in. FERRUZZO is a full-service construction company that can handle all the aspects of your second story addition. We’ll work with you to get the permits, complete the construction, and even help with the interior finishing work.
