A second story addition is the most significant structural change you can make to a home — and one of the most rewarding. When the lot is fixed but the family keeps growing, going up is often the only sensible answer. We design and build second-story additions that match your existing architecture so seamlessly that it looks like the home was always meant to have a second floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can any home support a second story addition?
Most homes can support a second story with the right engineering. We assess the existing foundation, framing, and bearing walls before design begins — so you know what's possible before you commit.
How much does a second story addition cost in Fort Worth?
Most second story additions in Fort Worth run $150,000–$400,000. The range depends on square footage, structural complexity, and finish level. We give you a real number after walking your home.
Do I need to move out during construction?
It depends on the scope and your tolerance for disruption. We'll give you an honest assessment at the consultation — some clients stay, some rent temporarily. We work to minimize impact either way.
How do you match the exterior of the new second story?
We source matching brick, siding, and trim profiles. In historic districts, we work within preservation guidelines. The goal is for the addition to look like it was always part of the home.
Do you handle the permits for a second story addition?
Yes. We handle all permitting — city applications, structural plan reviews, inspections. Fort Worth's permit process for second-story work is complex and we know it well.
