Overview
2nd Story Additions for Rumson Homes
Looking for 2nd story additions in Rumson, NJ? All About Additions LLC plans and builds 2nd story additions for Rumson homeowners — from the first site visit and written proposal through permits, construction, and final walkthrough.
Rumson homes set a high bar. Between historic properties, waterfront lots, and substantial custom residences, additions here demand craftsmanship that matches what is already standing. All About Additions LLC brings decades of construction experience to Rumson additions, extensions, and second-story projects, with the finish quality these homes require.
For Rumson 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.
Coastal Monmouth County work carries its own considerations — elevation and flood requirements, exposure and material durability, and careful protection of mature landscaping during construction. We plan for all of it before mobilizing.
We also serve nearby Deal, NJ and the surrounding shore communities for homeowners who want the same standard of workmanship.

Answers
2nd Story Additions in Rumson: FAQs
How much do 2nd story additions cost in Rumson, NJ?
Pricing for 2nd story additions in Rumson 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 Rumson?
Yes. As a licensed and insured general contractor, we coordinate permits and inspections with the Rumson 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.
Do Rumson additions have historic or design review requirements?
Some properties do, depending on location and character. We confirm applicable borough requirements before design is finalized.
