What to Expect in a Second Story Addition

As owners, we often find ourselves looking for ways to improve our living space, so that there is more room for doing things or maybe entertaining. We can often relocate by adding one or two new pieces, but depending on the size of your lot, this can be a challenge. However, there is an alternative - you can opt for an addition to the second floor.
When it comes to adding a floor to your home, there is an assortment of things to keep in mind. After all, not all houses lend themselves well to the addition of the second floor, and each new transformation is not easy. Therefore, there are several aspects to consider. These include:
· Make sure this is allowed. From the HOA to the rules and regulations of the city, there are often the parameters you must adhere to in building a second year addition. Things such as soil surface ratios, lot coverage and other items that need to be followed before being involved in planning and dreaming of a part of the construction.
· Talk to an architect to determine what your options are for the above addition. They can sketch the sketches that give you options to make the best use of the available space.
· Ask someone to review the foundation and structure. Sometimes, the basis of a home is designed to support only a specific amount of weight. As a result, adding a new story to the house would damage the stability of the structure. An inspector or engineer may inspect the area and inform you of the amount of additional weight that the structure can support.
· Consider having a place to stay during the building. Depending on the scope of the project, you will need to think about where you will live during the construction process.
· Make sure you work with a reputable contractor and then find out who is responsible for getting the building.
· Take time to clean the attic before starting work. Do not wait for the day to start to move things. Look at the moment before work as the perfect time to divide and conquer so that when the construction is complete you can effectively use space to its fullest potential.
Having a second story added to your home is a great way to facilitate the organization, to have more room to live or entertain and add value to your home. Talk now to a local builder.
