2nd Story Additions
When the lot is full and the family is not getting smaller, the only direction left is up. A second story adds real square footage and real value without giving up your yard, pool or setbacks.
What an addition project includes
- Feasibility review — what your existing foundation, walls and lot coverage will actually support.
- Design and engineering — architectural drawings and structural engineering coordinated for permit.
- Permitting and HOA approval — municipal permits plus the architectural review your community requires.
- Structural build — framing, stairs, roof tie-in, and reinforcing the structure below.
- Full finish-out — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring and trim.
Also worth considering
Not every expansion needs to go up. Ground-floor additions, garage conversions, in-law suites and enclosing an existing covered area are often faster and less expensive. Part of the free consultation is telling you which option gets you the space you want for the least disruption.
See it before you build it
An addition changes how your house looks from the street for the next thirty years. We produce a rendering so you can see the massing, the roofline and the elevation before anything is engineered.

Questions
What homeowners ask us
That is exactly what the feasibility review answers. Foundation, wall construction and lot coverage all matter. We would rather tell you no early than sell you a project that stalls at permit.
Design, engineering and permitting commonly take longer than the build. Plan on several months before a shovel moves, then a matter of months on site depending on size.
In most Boca Raton communities, yes — architectural review as well as the municipal permit. We prepare the package and manage both.

We’ll look at the property, talk through the options and put a real number on it. No obligation.
