For all of the land-locked homeowners who cannot expand outward due to property lines, choosing instead to build upward, let's "pop the top" on your home. When you need more square footage but don't want to sacrifice yard space, building upward is the ideal solution. Second-story addition framing—often called "popping the top"—involves carefully removing the existing roof, reinforcing the first-floor load-bearing walls and foundations, and framing an entirely new upper level. This high-skill service requires meticulous weather-proofing during the transition and precise structural engineering to safely transfer the new upper-level weight loads to the ground.

If you're a homeowner looking to expand your house outward by adding a new master suite, sunroom, or family room onto the side or back of their home, we can help. Adding a new room to your existing home requires a seamless structural marriage between the old skeleton and the new frame. House extension framing focuses on breaking into the existing exterior envelope, pouring matching foundation footings, and weaving new floor joists and wall studs directly into the original structure. Particular attention is paid to roofline tie-ins and structural header installations to prevent shifting, leaking, or settling where the two structures meet.
