Second Story Additions

Pop tops, or additional stories, are an excellent way to expand your home’s space. They involve adding an extra story to your single or double-story home, transforming it into a double or triple-story residence!

Our clients use this extra space often doubling the size of their home, for various purposes. Sometimes, it’s an in-law suite complete with a bathroom and kitchen, and other times, it’s a large hobby room or entertainment space. The possibilities are limitless, and our skilled remodelers can bring any vision to life!

Schroeder Design Build Reviews


What Our Customers Have To Say

“Extremely professional, great communication and follow up! Basically, a one-stop shop for everything from drawing up the plans, getting the necessary permits, construction, and interior design. Extremely professional and respectful, especially since we were living in the home during the four months of construction with kids and two dogs!”
-Nicole K.

“Working in the construction industry can be very difficult, especially during global supply chain issues as the world catches up from the devastating effects of COVID-19. Luckily, I began working with Mosaic Home Interiors and, through them, met some of the best designers I’ve worked with here at Schroeder Design Build.
Working with Nina and Jessica specifically has been absolutely fantastic, as they are both super responsive, organized, and efficient in juggling everything involved with the vast scope of their projects. Extending even further than their design team, their project managers, Ariel and Lola, have been nothing short of phenomenal.
Their communication and sign-offs have been crucial to ensuring their clients have the best lead times to align with start-to-finish dates on their projects. I look forward to continuing my fantastic professional relationship with them for years! Thank you, Schroeder Design Build!”
-Greg V.

“We used Schroeder Design Build for a whole home renovation and addition to our 60-year-old home. From our initial inquiry to a couple of follow-up items years after the project was complete, their responsiveness and attention to detail have continued to impress us. Their team communicated throughout the process; our project was completed on time and within budget. They truly listened to our family’s needs and wants, resulting in a home we now love to live in.”
-Lauren M.
