What are the benefits of adding a second story to your home?

  • Boosts property value: A well-executed second story can significantly increase your home’s market value. More bedrooms, bathrooms, or even a home office can make your property more appealing to future buyers.
  • Zoning and setback flexibility: Many zoning laws are stricter about how much land you can build on horizontally. Adding a second story is often more compliant with zoning regulations, especially in areas with height allowances.
  • Better views and natural light: Going vertical can unlock better views and bring in more sunlight. A second story often gets more consistent natural light, which can improve mood and reduce energy costs.
  • Customization potential: You get to design the upper level exactly how you want it — bedrooms, a home gym, a second living room, or even a full primary suite retreat. It’s a chance to reimagine your space creatively.
  • Cost-effective compared to moving: Building up can be less expensive than selling your home and buying a bigger one (especially once you factor in moving costs, agent fees, and potential higher property taxes).
  • Increased living space without losing yard: Adding up instead of out lets you expand your square footage without sacrificing outdoor space. This is especially valuable in urban or suburban areas where lot sizes are limited.

What does the remodel process include?

At Foster Remodeling Solutions, our process is built on the principles of thorough planning and proper communication. We aren’t focused merely on cranking out the work. Instead, we’re focused on building relationships.

Before our designers get to work on the design, they’ll learn about you and your specific needs.

Once they know a little about your family, your goals for the project, and so forth, they will use this knowledge to prepare a creative solution that’s functional, comfortable, and pleasant for you to live in.

We focus on making sure your individual goals are met every step of the way.

Focused Design Keeps You Involved

At Foster Remodeling Solutions, we build relationships. We ask questions to learn about your family, hobbies, and interests and to lay the groundwork for our creative process. 

Our designers take that information and integrate your expectations into functional, original spaces you can love. Meeting your goals is our focus through each phase of your remodeling project.

Design-Build Means We Do It All

Our design-build services streamline your remodeling project, saving you time and money. Every phase of your project is in our hands, from the initial CAD drawings to the removal of your roof, creating a single point of accountability.

Our detailed eight-step process guides you from design through construction, building confidence and inspiring excitement. Our in-house showroom is the perfect place to explore the finishes that make each project unique, and our consultants are available to help you make sure they all work together.
