Whether you grew up in your home and are not willing to give it up, or you have a vision and the means to make it a reality; adding an entire level onto your home is something that is possible, and typically feasible.
The cost of tearing the entire roof off of your home and adding a whole new floor is probably a better investment than picking up a larger home somewhere different. Here is a couple things we typically see as motivating factors.
We take a look at some of the things that compel these types of projects as well as a small comparison of qualifying concerns and requirements you should consider before embarking on such a project.
When you feel like you have come to a point where you are reasonably sure you might possibly meet these feasibility requirements, we are ready to help take it from there. Our experts will assess local ordnances and municipal code to determine if this project is legally possible. We will assess your property and provide you with a plan and outline of cost and delivery time frames.

Reasons You Might Want to Add a New Floor Level Addition On Your Home
Neighborhood:Philly is all about neighborhood culture. It’s a rare thing nationally, but here in Philly our neighborhoods are the culture we know. Staying where you are at on your cozy block can be done by creating a new floor on your home.
Family:You learned to ride a bike on the sidewalk here. Your first love lived down the street. Your aunt or grandma still live a block away and need a guardian. Your compassion and determination to stay creates a need to build this new addition for your growing family space needs.
While many competitors have been building new homes with larger budgets; T. Savage has been re-building, as in restoring, the virtually ancient row homes of Philadelphia. Our team has been work together long enough to know what we are getting into before we open up a wall, or tear off a floor. Some people might call us archeological carpenters.
