Second Story Addition Costs |
The True Cost of a Second Story Addition |
Convert Your Existing Single Level Ranch Into A Spacious Colonial
Additional Square Footage To Be Added: 960 sq/ft
Add tons of space by adding a whole second floor to your existing home. This addition is based on a very common single floor ranch, but it can be easily adapted to any single level home, such as a cape. The new addition will allow you to utilize the space on the first floor for entertaining, cooking, and recreation. The new second floor will have plenty of space for three bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of closet space. This add-a-level design allows you to have a dramatic 2 story foyer with a staircase that overlooks it. You can finally have that grand entrance that you have been dreaming of.
Construction 24' x 40' 2nd Story Addition
The existing roof will be completely removed and a new second floor will be built over the existing house. Some existing walls on the first floor will be reconfigured to allow for a staircase to access the second floor. At the end of the hallway a balcony will allow you to look over into the foyer below. A new gable roof will be added with usable attic space. Optionally a small overhang can be built over the front door to provide protection from the elements when entering the home. See our total construction costs below.
