Overview

2nd Story Additions for Edison Homes

Looking for 2nd story additions in Edison, NJ? All About Additions LLC plans and builds 2nd story additions for Edison homeowners — from the first site visit and written proposal through permits, construction, and final walkthrough.

All About Additions LLC is based in Edison, New Jersey, with offices at 1090 Amboy Ave, Suite 211. Edison's mix of mid-century capes, split-levels, and colonials means most homes here were built for smaller households than they hold today. Adding out or up is usually far more practical than moving, and we have spent years building additions that fit Edison lots, Edison setbacks, and Edison budgets.

For Edison projects, add a full second floor and gain bedrooms, baths, and living space without expanding your home's footprint.

A second-story addition is the strongest option for homeowners on a tight lot who need significantly more room. Instead of building out into the yard, we build up — adding bedrooms, full bathrooms, a primary suite, or a home office over the existing first floor. For many Edison-area properties this is the only way to add real square footage while keeping the driveway, patio, and yard intact.

Building a second story is serious structural work, and it is exactly the kind of project our experience is built for. We evaluate existing foundations and bearing walls, plan temporary weather protection, and sequence demolition, framing, and roofing so your home is closed in as quickly as possible. All About Additions LLC is licensed and insured, and President Rick Balas personally brings more than 40 years of construction knowledge to the structural planning of every second-floor project.

Because we are local, we know the Edison building department process and how to sequence permits and inspections so your project keeps moving. Whether you are in the Clara Barton, Menlo Park, North Edison, or Stelton areas, our crews are minutes away.

We also serve nearby communities including Scotch Plains, Bedminster, Bridgewater, and Warren, NJ, where larger lots and older housing stock make second-story additions and rear extensions especially popular.

Answers

2nd Story Additions in Edison: FAQs

How much do 2nd story additions cost in Edison, NJ?

Pricing for 2nd story additions in Edison depends on size, structure, and finish level. We provide a free on-site consultation and a detailed written proposal so you see the full scope and pricing before committing.

Do you handle permits for 2nd story additions in Edison?

Yes. As a licensed and insured general contractor, we coordinate permits and inspections with the Edison building department as part of every project.

Do I have to move out during a second story addition?

Many homeowners stay in the home for part of the project. We discuss the schedule and living conditions up front so you can plan around the framing and roofing phase.

Is a 2nd story addition cheaper than a ground-floor addition?

It varies. A second story avoids new foundation work but requires more structural reinforcement and roof work. Our free consultation compares both options for your property.

How long does it take to get an addition permit in Edison, NJ?

Permit review timelines vary with plan complexity and department workload — often a few weeks. We prepare complete submissions and follow up with the township to avoid unnecessary delays.
