Tailored Solutions for Freeland

A second story addition adds rooms above your current home, so the lower structure becomes part of the decision. The job may involve foundation assessment, load calculations, floor framing, wall framing, and roof removal.

Homeowners choose this path when the lot does not suit an outward extension or when the current layout no longer works. The key decision is whether the existing structure can support the planned upper floor and whether the new space fits your goals.

Our team connects design concepts with construction planning. We also manage materials, project coordination, permitting needs, and final interior work for a more organized remodeling experience.

  • Confirm which rooms the added floor must provide.
  • Review how the existing structure supports a new upper level.
  • Plan floor framing and wall framing before roof removal.
  • Choose finishes that fit the rest of the home.
  • Request a project assessment and written estimate.

Service Overview

Second story additions are home expansions that add living space above an existing floor.

  • Room additions extend outward, while this work uses the home's upper level and requires structural planning below.
  • Our team provides second story additions for homeowners in Freeland and nearby Eastside communities.

What an added upper floor changes

An upper floor creates living space without changing the home's ground-level footprint.

A planned layout can separate bedrooms, work space, or family areas more clearly.

Structural planning helps connect the new floor to the existing home.

Coordinated finishes help the addition feel like part of the house.

Full-service management gives you one team for design, construction, and finishing.

Process

How we build the added upper floor

1

Review the existing home

We examine the current layout and discuss the rooms, access, materials, and finish goals for the addition.

2

Plan the structural work

We develop the project scope around load calculations, floor framing, wall framing, and roof removal.

3

Shape the room layout

The design plan sets room uses, circulation, materials, and interior details for the new level.

4

Coordinate construction

We manage construction tasks, project communication, material choices, and local permitting needs.

5

Complete the interior

Final work includes interior upgrades, finish details, and a review of the completed spaces.

How we approach this structural work

Start with the support below

The lower structure must be reviewed before an upper floor is designed. This service is the wrong fit when you only need interior changes without added structural space.

Keep design tied to construction

Room layouts, floor framing, wall framing, and roof work affect one another. We connect those decisions so the plan stays practical.

Manage the full project

Our full-service project management covers design concepts, material choices, construction coordination, and final details.

Use local code knowledge

We're a licensed and insured general contractor with local permitting and code expertise for remodeling work.

Best remodel experience we have ever had. The oversight, careful workmanship and ownership of the project was above expectations. Our design team was amazing. We also had the same person do all the work start to finish and was a total Pro. Could not recommend enough and will be doing any and all projects through them. This place is a gem.

Linda and her team did an excellent job! We would highly recommend them. We hired her for a kitchen remodel and asked for a very tight timeline. She delivered and we absolutely love the result. She was very commutative and available to us. Thank you Design and Build NW!

Leaving a long overdue review. Linda helped us remodel our bathroom and kitchen last year. We also did some flooring improvements, and some electrical and plumbing work along the way. The pricing was very reasonable, and we appreciated that Linda was always conscious of our budget, when we made adjustments to our plan. The work was delivered very quickly on promised timelines. She had some really good suggestions around the choice of flooring, which we are thankful for (especially looking back after a year). Also appreciate her sense of style.. it helped us make the right choices for countertops, tiles and fixtures. It all looks great, our guests often comment on how beautiful our kitchen looks. Thank you!

Questions about adding a second story

How should I prepare before requesting an estimate for Second Story Additions?

Your room goals and current home information give us a useful starting point. Gather any existing plans, measurements, photos, and notes about the rooms you need.

  • List the intended rooms and uses
  • Note access concerns inside the home
  • Collect design ideas and finish preferences

We use that information to discuss the assessment, scope, materials, and estimate.

Which details can change the project price?

Existing structural conditions, planned room size, framing needs, roof work, materials, and interior finishes affect the estimate. The lower structure may need more planning when it wasn't designed for another level.

Our quote discussion covers the work included, selected materials, construction coordination, and finishing details. We explain the cost drivers before you decide on the project scope.

When should I choose an upper-floor addition?

An upper-floor addition fits when you need more living space but want to preserve the current ground-level footprint. The choice also depends on structural feasibility and the rooms you want to add.

This approach suits homeowners considering bedrooms, work areas, or family space above the current home. A room addition may fit better when outward expansion meets your goals and the existing structure cannot support another level.

Why does roof removal matter during this work?

Roof removal matters because the existing roof must be opened or removed where the new floor connects. That work affects the construction sequence and the protection of the home during the build.

We include roof work in the project plan with floor framing, wall framing, materials, and interior finishes. The exact scope follows the planned upper-floor layout and existing roof design.

What does a full-service remodeling contractor handle?

A full-service remodeling contractor can coordinate design, materials, construction, project management, and final finishing. Our team keeps those parts connected for second story additions.

We help shape the layout, select materials, manage construction, and complete interior upgrades. We also bring local permitting and code expertise to the planning discussion, so the project scope addresses more than the room layout alone.
