Montclair Second Level Addition

This second-level addition in Montclair, NJ expanded a growing family's home without sacrificing the architectural integrity of the original structure. WA Construct managed every phase of the project as a true design-build firm — from structural engineering and permitting through final finishes — ensuring a seamless connection between the existing first floor and the new upper level. The addition features open-concept living areas, energy-efficient framing assemblies, and exterior detailing matched precisely to the home's original façade. The result is a second story that looks and feels as though it was always part of the house, delivering the square footage the family needed while enhancing curb appeal from every angle.

Full front elevation of a completed second level addition featuring matched cedar impressions siding, a symmetrical gable roofline, columned front porch, and black-framed windows that blend the new upper level seamlessly with the original structure — second story addition in Montclair, NJ by WA...
