Second story additions are a great idea for those wishing to increase their home's square footage and locate bedrooms on one level. For this homeowner, Martin Brothers Contracting expanded a 1,700 sq. ft. ranch vertically to create an elegant 4,500 sq. ft. two story house including finished lower level. http://martinbrotherscontracting.blogspot.com/2014/04/second-story-addition.html

Sure, I realize that. I'm new here. I am in Florida but was just doing some general research. I was trying to get an idea of the financial size of the project. Obviously depends on a lot of factors but wanted to find our if $150k to $200k is enough of a budget to try to do a second story addition on a house I just bought. We are not looking to add anything extravagant, just a "bonus room" with perhaps a 1/2 bathroom and a 20x24 room. Thank for answering anyway.

The price of a project in Indiana will be vastly different than a project in Florida. We would suggest that you contact a builder/remodeler closer to your home in Florida for pricing. You can find a builder under the Find a Pro section. Thank you.
