Second-Floor Additions in South Florida is a job with its own rules: heat, humidity, salt air and a Miami-Dade permit process that rewards doing it right the first time. This guide walks through what the work actually includes, what drives the price, and what to check before you sign with anyone.
If you are in need of extra space you might consider a second floor addition to your house. Often going up makes more sense than expanding out. A second floor addition built by Miami First Remodeling will provide more square footage; boosting your home’s livability and greatly increase its potential value.
Deciding whether to add to the back of your home or to add a second floor has a number of considerations:
- One advantage of going up is you eliminate the need to acquire more space; especially important if you’re happy with the current location of your house. A second floor addition will provide you with the additional square footage without sacrificing the current neighborhood amenities.
- An additional benefit is the chance to open up and enhance your home’s interior with a higher ceiling or more windows. A second floor addition also gives you the opportunity to dramatically alter the exterior appearance of your home.
- If you have a specific need for a particular space such as a home theater, an artist studio, or a nursery for a new baby you have complete freedom with the design of the interior spaces. As a bonus, you will have the opportunity to make alterations to the first floor such as the addition of a dramatic new staircase.
- If you have a small lot or other limitations such as local setback requirements you will be able to add much more space with a second floor addition.
