Throughout Bergen County, adding a second storyto an existing ranch or cape-cod style home has become one of the most popular types of additions clients request as they strive to accommodate their growing families. Architecturally, we are able to convert these homes from a 1 or 1 ½ story house into a full 2-story colonial. You essentially get a brand new house! It is a matter of selecting the style that you like most and determining what spaces and connections mean the most to you. This type of addition usually gets you the most for your money.
