Second-Story Additions That Add Space & Value
Expand upward without sacrificing your yard — expert design-build second-story additions across Greater Columbus, OH.
What's Involved in a Second-Story Addition
A second-story addition is one of the most involved projects in residential construction. As a full-service design-build contractor, Rise Total Home Solutions manages every phase in-house — from initial architectural design through structural engineering, foundation evaluation, framing, roofing, and interior finish-out — so your project stays coordinated from start to finish.
Architectural Design & Structural Engineering
We begin with detailed architectural plans and a full structural engineering review to confirm your existing foundation and framing can support new weight loads before any work begins.
Foundation Evaluation & Framing
Our team evaluates your home's existing foundation and reinforces it as needed, then frames the new second level to match your home's structural requirements and local building codes.
Roofing & Interior Finish-Out
Once framing is complete, we handle roofing, exterior envelope work, and full interior finish-out — insulation, drywall, flooring, and trim — so the new level is move-in ready.

Why Build Up Instead of Out
Add Space Without Losing Your Yard
Building up preserves your existing lot footprint entirely — no sacrificing patios, gardens, or play space to gain the square footage your family needs.
Strong Return on Investment
A well-designed second story is one of the most effective ways to increase your home's market value, often outperforming comparable ground-floor additions.
A New Primary Suite or Bedrooms
Gain the private primary suite, additional bedrooms, or dedicated office your household has outgrown — without disrupting your main living level.
