Overview

2nd Story Additions Built for New Jersey Homes

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.

You get a clear plan before work starts: what will be removed, how the new floor ties into the existing structure, where the new stair will land, and how mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems will be extended upward. Our written proposals spell out scope and pricing so there are no gray areas once the project is underway.

From framing inspection through drywall, trim, and final finishes, we keep the site organized and keep you informed. The finished second story feels original to the house — matching rooflines, siding, and interior details — and delivers the space your family needs for the long term.

Answers

2nd Story Additions FAQs

Can you add a second story to any house?

Most homes can support a second-story addition, but it depends on the existing foundation and framing. We evaluate the structure first and tell you honestly what is feasible.

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.
