You’re not alone if your house feels smaller every year. Here’s how Texas homeowners know it’s time to build up.
Every bedroom is spoken for, the home office is a kitchen corner, and guests sleep on the couch. A second storey adds real rooms, not makeshift ones, without losing your backyard.
Many Texas lots, especially in Houston, Austin, and Dallas infill neighborhoods, don't have room for a ground-floor expansion. Building up sidesteps setback restrictions and lot coverage limits entirely.
Great school zone, short commute, established neighborhood — moving isn't worth it. A second storey lets you keep everything you love about where you live while fixing what doesn't work inside.
A home that feels tight today only feels tighter as families grow. The earlier you plan a second-storey addition, the more design flexibility and budget control you have. Reach out and we'll walk the property with you.
Every second-storey addition is different depending on your existing structure, foundation type, and goals, so our scope covers every stage and approach needed to build up safely and correctly.
Before any framing begins, our engineers evaluate your existing foundation and load-bearing walls to confirm they can support a new level, or determine what reinforcement is required first.
This is a complete new floor, including framing, roofing, windows, insulation, drywall, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins, fully tied into your home's existing systems and built to current Texas code.
Not ready to build over the entire footprint? We also design partial second-storey additions over garages or single wings of the home, a lower-cost way to add space strategically.
For homeowners who mainly need one large room, we build dedicated second-storey primary suites or bonus rooms, often the fastest and most budget-friendly way to add meaningful square footage.
Not sure which approach fits your home and budget? We assess the structure first and recommend only what your situation actually calls for no upsells.
We evaluate your foundation and framing in person or via (832) 413-0726 to confirm feasibility before anything else.
You get stamped structural drawings and one transparent, all-in price before signing anything.
We pull all required Texas permits and build your second storey with licensed crews and code-compliant methods.
Every addition passes final inspection and is backed by our structural workmanship warranty.
Building up is riskier than building out if it’s done wrong. Here’s why homeowners across the state choose us for it.
Every project starts with a licensed structural engineer evaluating your existing home, not a framer eyeballing it and hoping the foundation holds.
We build second-storey additions in cities and counties across Texas and know the permitting quirks of each jurisdiction we work in.
You get one upfront number covering engineering, permits, and construction, with no mid-project change-order surprises.
Every second-storey addition is backed by a written structural warranty, because work this permanent should be guaranteed.
Second-storey additions are a major structural project, and pricing depends heavily on your home’s current foundation and how much new square footage you’re adding.
Your final cost depends on foundation reinforcement needs, total square footage added, roofline complexity, and finish level. Across Texas, most second-storey additions run 150–300 per square foot, with full second-storey builds typically landing between 100,000–300,000+.
The only way to get a real number is a structural assessment. Call (832) 413-0726 and we’ll schedule an evaluation and give you an honest, itemized quote before any work begins.
Most projects run 150–300 per square foot depending on foundation needs, size, and finish level across the state.
A structural engineer evaluates your existing foundation and framing. We provide this assessment before any construction begins.
Most full second-storey projects take 4–7 months from permitting through final inspection, depending on scope and local permit timelines.
