You may not realize it, but planning a second story addition is more complicated that it seems. This is not a project that can be done by yourself, so you’ll need to hire the right professional to get the job done. And, with a trusted renovation roofing contractor, you’ll be satisfied with the project’s completion! Of course, you’ll also need to ask your contractor certain questions as well as to yourself to ensure your project goes as smoothly as possible.

Questions to Ask Your Contractor

1. How Much Will It Cost?
   A full second story addition can cost around $150,000 to $200,000 on a 2,000 square foot home while a partial one in the 500 to 700 square foot range will only cost around $90,000 to $120,000. It only depends on how big your home is and how much you’re willing to spend.

2. How Long Will It Take?
   Keep in mind that each residential and commercial roofing project is different, and yours may take a while to complete. Whether it’s 200 or 1,200 square feet, it’s not easy estimating the exact completion date, but you can assume that it will take at least several months.

Questions to Ask Yourself

1. For What Will You Use It?
   How you answer this depends on what kind of space you’re looking to add. If you need more bedrooms, that’s the most common use for a second story. But if you’re planning to make more space for the kitchen, family room and general entertaining activities, then having them on the ground floor may be better.

2. Are You Considering Temporary Living Arrangements?
   This type of project will be a significant addition to your home, and it may take over the entire living space. Most homeowners would opt on finding a temporary living arrangement somewhere else, but it ultimately depends on the type of expansion you’re planning.
