You may have arrived at this article looking for information on additions to Cape Cod styled houses not necessarily located in Cape Cod. One of the most common requests we get is for information relating to adding a full second story addition to a cape styled house or adding a second floor to a ranch style house. While these types of remodeling projects can be complicated, we make them a breeze and they are second nature to us. By the end of the first day of construction we would typically have your old roof system off of the house and into the dumpster. Then we move on to adding new floor joists between the existing ceiling joists (typical ceiling joists are not rated to carry the required load of a livable 2nd floor) and installing the 3/4″ plywood deck that comprise the floor system of your new second floor. Once these steps are complete it is pretty much business as usual with regards to the wall, ceiling and roof framing. We do all of this while leaving the original first floor as undisturbed as possible until the end when it comes time to tie the two floors together with a new staircase in the case of a ranch (most capes already have a stairway going up to the 2nd floor).

Here is a picture you can check out of a second floor addition being framed. Another image of a second story addition that is almost done being framed.
