Service Specific FAQs

How is a second storey extension constructed safely?

We install temporary weather protection sheets, reinforce ground floor studs, install structural floor joists, and raise the new framing walls before opening the lower ceiling.

Will the new section match the older portion of the home?

Yes. We source matching bricks, mortar pigments, timber siding profiles, and roofing tiles to ensure a cohesive look.
