Why Consider a 2nd Story Addition?

Adding a Master Suite: Design a luxurious, private retreat with a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and spa-like bathroom on its own floor.
-
Home Office or Flex Space: Gain quiet, dedicated areas for work, hobbies, or a personal gym.
-
Boosting Property Value: A well-executed second story addition significantly increases your home's square footage and can dramatically enhance its market appeal and resale value.
-
Improving Views and Natural Light: Elevating your living space can open up new vistas and allow more natural light to flood your home.
-
Staying in Your Dream Location: Instead of enduring the stress and expense of moving, expand your existing home to perfectly fit your evolving needs.
The Total Home Solution Difference: Our Design & Build Approach to 2nd Story Additions
Building a 2nd story addition is a complex project that requires meticulous planning, structural expertise, and seamless execution. Our design-build methodology at Total Home Solution ensures a streamlined, stress-free process from start to finish:
1. Initial Consultation & Structural Assessment
Our process begins with understanding your vision and assessing your existing home's structural integrity. This crucial step determines if your current foundation and framing can support the additional weight of a second floor, or if reinforcement is needed. This is where our expert craftsmanship and engineering knowledge come into play.
2. Custom Design & Planning
Our design team works collaboratively with you to create a personalized plan for your new upper level. This includes:
-
Floor Plans: Tailored layouts for new bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, or specialized rooms.
-
Exterior Integration: Ensuring the new second story seamlessly blends with your home's existing architectural style and aesthetic.
-
3D Renderings: Visualize your new space before construction begins, allowing for adjustments and perfection.
-
Permit Management: We handle all necessary permits and ensure compliance with local building codes and zoning regulations in Eagleville, PA, and surrounding municipalities within the Main Line PA.
3. Deconstruction & Structural Preparation
This phase involves carefully removing your existing roof and preparing the lower level for the new structure. This can include:
-
Temporary Weatherproofing: Protecting your home during the construction phase.
-
Framing: Building the robust framework for your new second story.
-
Foundation Reinforcement: If needed, strengthening the existing foundation to support the added load.
4. Construction & Finishes
With the structure in place, our skilled tradespeople complete the interior and exterior:
-
Roofing: Installing a new roof system that complements your home.
-
Siding & Windows: Exterior finishes and energy-efficient windows that match your home's aesthetic.
-
Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC: Integrating new utility systems for comfort and functionality on the new floor.
-
Interior Finishes: Drywall, insulation, flooring, painting, trim, and all the details that make your new space feel like home. Our commitment to superior quality shines through in every finish.
