FAQ

How much does a second story addition cost in Des Moines?

The cost of a second story addition depends on its size and scope, as well as selections. Most additions that Zenith Design + Build undertake begin at around $70,000 - $75,000.

Why does a 2nd-floor addition cost more per square foot than the 1st floor?

A second-floor addition costs more because, typically, the existing roof has to be removed entirely and replaced. The first floor may also require the installation of additional structures to ensure the second-floor addition is securely supported and connected to the first floor.

How Long Does it Take to Build a Second Story Addition?

Building a second-floor addition takes a few months, depending on the size of the addition, design features, and how much of the first-floor walls need fortifying.
