Add space without sacrificing land

In Seattle, homeowners often struggle with limited home sizes and increasingly tight living spaces as their families grow, making it difficult to expand without creative building solutions. Expanding upward is a smarter and more practical choice than moving or building out, because it doesn’t demand expanding the adjacent territory. An upper-level construction enhances daily comfort, privacy and lifestyle flexibility.

Mbremodels can boast high expertise to handle all aspects of second-story additions, starting from step-by-step planning and design integration to permitting and construction. People in Seattle face a lot of restrictions, including zoning restrictions, small lot sizes, FAR limits and local building constraints. Our experienced team follows all the local requirements while ensuring a new level that looks and functions as a natural extension of the existing home.

Transform your home with second-story additions

A second-story addition is a home renovation that involves building an entirely new level on top of an existing single-story house. Mbremodels provides custom design solutions tailored to each client’s individual needs, lifestyle and home style. Our experienced team creates from scratch and implements functional and cozy upper-level construction projects, for instance, a primary suite with an ensuite bathroom, a kid`s bedroom wing, a home office with separation from living areas, second-floor laundry and vaulted ceilings.

This allows accommodating more family members comfortably and increasing home value by expanding a home vertically. Our company delivers top-grade results through expert planning, high-quality craftsmanship, attention to every detail and an individual approach to each customer.
