What people ask before calling.
Something else on your mind? Ask on the phone. We'd rather answer it now than after you've signed.
Can my house support a second story?
Some can, some need reinforcement. We start with a structural look and bring in an engineer before you commit to design.
Over the garage is cheaper, right?
Often simpler, because there's no living space below to protect. We'll lay out both options.
What does it cost?
It depends on the size, the conditions on site, and the selections. We don't publish prices because a number without a site visit is a guess. The visit is free and the proposal is in writing.
