"Everything went great! They came and cleaned out the flowerbed, put a stone border around it and my tree, Dug up all weeds, put down weed barrier and planted two new rose bushes and 4 other plants. It looked great! I texted about a month after they finished and asked where they had gotten the plants because some weren’t looking too hot (they have since revived) and asked about the weed barrier because I have weeds growing up around the edges and in a few other places. I was told that they would come out that Saturday. I waited all day and no one. I got busy and a couple weeks went by. I texted again with a picture of the weeds. I was told they would come this past Monday. Still waiting. I really want to give them 5 stars because the initial work was done while I was in the hospital so everything g was done via text. I just can’t because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for them to come clean it up and make sure there is weed barrier all over."

"DO NOT HIRE. Beware if the Owner. Contractors did a fantastic job. Wanted 8ft and 8ft to eventually build a top floor. They gave me 9ft to roof and another 7ft for 2nd floor. I asked for another 1ft and to bill me materials of needed via email at 7pm. The next day my father who speaks very limited spanish asked the contractors to raise it up another 1ft. And got an ok from them. We left the issue at that. That evening I come home from work and its only 16ft, not 17. I call Rene the owner and he says he has not checked his email. (It's now been 24 hours since I sent it to him) he also tells me that he does not check his emails at night and cannot change the specs now as the frame is already there. DO NOT HIRE. If the owner is to lazy to check his emails he does not deserve to be on Angie's list. Btw, I am not blaming the contractors as they chkd with owner but received no new instructions since owner never chkd his email. We now have to add additional cost to dig ground"

"In August 2022, after hearing about DFW Improved on a home improvement radio show, we entered into two contracts with them for a roof replacement and interior water damage repair. These contracts were based on insurance-approved scopes following the 2021 ice storm. DFW Improved began the roof replacement project first. Following the replacement, the roof continued to leak due to their failure to replace the flashings. Despite corresponding work items in the insurance scope (confirmed later by the insurance adjuster's email), the DFW Improved salesperson insisted that flashing was not part of the roof. He threatened legal action if further payment was not made. Prior to this, they presented two identical model shingles as choices, which their own roof subcontractor on-site disclosed. Upon our inquiry via email, instead of addressing the issue, the salesperson accused us of defaming their company. Furthermore, they quoted $900 for a non-existent siding hole and estimated $25,000 for a bookcase, which their own designer valued at $6,000 to $7,000. While the roof leaking issue was still unresolved, DFW Improved began interior work. Instead of submitting the agreed supplement request as agreed, they skipped necessary steps to cut water-damaged drywall. To prevent wasted effort, we instructed workers to stop. The salesperson responded, stating that workers would not proceed with any work not approved by insurance. However, he emailed the insurance company claiming that the work had already been completed, causing significant confusion for us. During the halt period, we sent out numerous issues such as broken air pipes, cracked roof rafters, missing insulation, roof holes, missing felt paper, and a leaking roof. However, we received no response other than prevaricate explanations and demanding for money. We escalated to the DFW Improved upper manager who responded that they are their best team members and disregarded our request for an alternative project team. DFW Improved abandoned the projects and warranties, and initiated separation in December 2022. Both parties engaged in negotiations over separation costs. During this process, DFW Improved unexpectedly sent four individuals to our house, claiming to inspect texture work and demanding payment. Subsequently, DFW Improved placed a lien on our house, and their lawyer sent a demanding letter stating they would auction our house and (quote)“sue Vigorously” if payment was not made, despite the mediation/arbitration clause clearly outlined in the contracts. Under this pressure, we filed a claim in Tarrant County Small Claims Court, where the lien was placed. Later, their lawyer filed a motion to transfer the case to Collin County, where DFW Improved is based. We refused to comply with a demand for $5,000 and the confidentiality requirement during mediation. DFW Improved filed a new case simultaneously in the higher Tarrant County District Court, demanding a new amount of $59,845 and seeking to enforce the lien, providing no explanation for this amount. According to their co-owner's email, their accounting book calculated that we owed them a total of $1,260 (detailed below). During pre-mediation discussions, their lawyer attempted to justify their request for $8k, citing that a significant portion was allocated to attorneys' fees. We did not engage their lawyer to send us a threatening letter containing false statements about suing us without mediation. Their lawyer also declined $65 public mediator service provided by the Tarrant Small Claims Court. Additionally, they unilaterally escalated the dispute to a higher court. We have never been late with their payments. In fact, DFW Improved made a math error by crediting the blind work twice. When we brought this to their attention, DFW Improved spent extra time correcting the invoice, and their salesperson initiated an internal investigation. Any delay was certainly not caused by us. DFW Improved filed a lien attempting to collect the costs again, despite already receiving payment. See the invoice they submitted, which completely overlooks the $35,895.76 payment we made (supported by our bank transactions). —-------------The payment schedule on the contract has major math errors—--------- Payments for the work are due as follows: Contract Total $ 194,972.33 $ 19,497.23 deposit is due at initial design meeting.(10% of the Contract Total) 20% of the Contract Total is due at the preconstruction meeting. 30% of the Contract Total is due at start of drywall repair. ←– we requested halt at this phase and according to texas property code Sec. 28.003. EXCEPTION FOR GOOD FAITH DISPUTE; we can WITHHOLDING up to 110% of the difference between the amount the obligee claims is due and the amount the obligor claims is due. 30% of the Contract Total is due at start of countertop/trim installation. ←–we don’t even have any work for countertop 17% of the Contract Total is due at walkthrough. Remaining contract total is due at completion. 10%+20+30%+30%+17% + Remaining is more than 107%!

Their lien is invalid, and their claim is baseless according to the evidence in their own submitted invoice. We are uncertain about the extent and duration of the legal battle DFW Improved and their lawyer will continue to pursue. It has been nearly two years. Instead of assisting us with the aftermath of a natural disaster, DFW Improved attempted to extort money from us and our insurance provider. This has resulted in substantial legal fees, emotional stress, and significant delays in repairing our house, necessitating prolonged rental expenses. Despite our efforts to settle amicably, they persist in prolonging and escalating the dispute. This inci"

The salesperson responded, stating that workers would not proceed with any work not approved by insurance. However, he emailed the insurance company claiming that the work had already been completed, causing significant confusion for us. During the halt period, we sent out numerous issues such as broken air pipes, cracked roof rafters, missing insulation, roof holes, missing felt paper, and a leaking roof. However, we received no response other than prevaricate explanations and demanding for money. We escalated to the DFW Improved upper manager who responded that they are their best team members and disregarded our request for an alternative project team. DFW Improved abandoned the projects and warranties, and initiated separation in December 2022. Both parties engaged in negotiations over separation costs. During this process, DFW Improved unexpectedly sent four individuals to our house, claiming to inspect texture work and demanding payment. Subsequently, DFW Improved placed a lien on our house, and their lawyer sent a demanding letter stating they would auction our house and (quote)“sue Vigorously” if payment was not made, despite the mediation/arbitration clause clearly outlined in the contracts. Under this pressure, we filed a claim in Tarrant County Small Claims Court, where the lien was placed. Later, their lawyer filed a motion to transfer the case to Collin County, where DFW Improved is based. We refused to comply with a demand for $5,000 and the confidentiality requirement during mediation. DFW Improved filed a new case simultaneously in the higher Tarrant County District Court, demanding a new amount of $59,845 and seeking to enforce the lien, providing no explanation for this amount. According to their co-owner's email, their accounting book calculated that we owed them a total of $1,260 (detailed below). During pre-mediation discussions, their lawyer attempted to justify their request for $8k, citing that a significant portion was allocated to attorneys' fees. We did not engage their lawyer to send us a threatening letter containing false statements about suing us without mediation. Their lawyer also declined $65 public mediator service provided by the Tarrant Small Claims Court. Additionally, they unilaterally escalated the dispute to a higher court. We have never been late with their payments. In fact, DFW Improved made a math error by crediting the blind work twice. When we brought this to their attention, DFW Improved spent extra time correcting the invoice, and their salesperson initiated an internal investigation. Any delay was certainly not caused by us. DFW Improved filed a lien attempting to collect the costs again, despite already receiving payment. See the invoice they submitted, which completely overlooks the $35,895.76 payment we made (supported by our bank transactions). —-------------The payment schedule on the contract has major math errors—--------- Payments for the work are due as follows: Contract Total $ 194,972.33 $ 19,497.23 deposit is due at initial design meeting.(10% of the Contract Total) 20% of the Contract Total is due at the preconstruction meeting. 30% of the Contract Total is due at start of drywall repair. ←– we requested halt at this phase and according to texas property code Sec. 28.003. EXCEPTION FOR GOOD FAITH DISPUTE; we can WITHHOLDING up to 110% of the difference between the amount the obligee claims is due and the amount the obligor claims is due. 30% of the Contract Total is due at start of countertop/trim installation. ←–we don’t even have any work for countertop 17% of the Contract Total is due at walkthrough. Remaining contract total is due at completion. 10%+20+30%+30%+17% + Remaining is more than 107%! DFW Improved needs to refund the incorrectly collected funds. -------DFW Improved co-owner's calculation based on their accounting book--------- ROOFING PROJECT Contracted amount: $52,364.74 Approved Credits Total ($3128.51) Xactimate difference ($1499.88) Line #18 R&R Chimney Flashing ($438.29) Line #25 Digital satellite ($49.24) Line #27 R&R Window Screen ($649.38) Line #53 Window Bid ($491.72) Payments to date: ($36,655.32) Roofing Project Balance due to DFW Improved $12,580.91 Line #20 Step Flashing Line #21 Flashing - L Flashing Additional credit discussed above of $1,478.63 brings this amount to $11,102.28 <--- DFW Improved never passed the city inspection and provide completion list and promised warranty INTERIOR PROJECT Current payments ($35,895.76) Current Costs to Date $28,432.84 Demo crew $550 Demo crew $150 Plumbing crew $690 Drywall crew $19,200 Insulation company $3000 Home Depot - misc. materials $104.03 Total for labor and material $23,694.03 <---this amount is already paid 20% per insurance standards for Profit and Overhead $4,738.81 Interior Project Credit for exhaust fan duct ($150) Interior Project Balance due to homeowner ($7,612.92) Total amount due(combine both contracts) $1,260 —----interior invoice from DFW Improved(removed detail name of subcontractors)---------- 11/12/2022 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Remodeling $ 150.00 11/17/2022 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest demo $ 550.00 11/17/2022 6013751 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Home Depot $ 23.27 11/17/2022 6013734 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Home Depot $ 23.02 11/25/2022 816725 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Drywall $ 19,200.00 11/21/2022 2014093 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Home Depot $ 115.46 11/22/2022 1200043 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Home Depot $ (57.72) 11/29/2022 34736796-$690 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Plumbing $ 690.00 11/30/2022 10-85062 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Insulation $ 900.00 11/30/2022 10-85061 homeowner:2022-August-Interior Insurance Rest Insulation $ 2,100.00 $ 23,694.03 They attempted to inflate the amount to $22,835.94 by falsely claiming work on the wall texture extended from the actual 10% (bottom 1 foot of each wall) to 100%. Their lien is invalid, and their claim is baseless according to the evidence in their own submitted invoice. We are uncertain about the extent and duration of the legal battle DFW Improved and their lawyer will continue to pursue. It has been nearly two years. Instead of assisting us with the aftermath of a natural disaster, DFW Improved attempted to extort money from us and our insurance provider. This has resulted in substantial legal fees, emotional stress, and significant delays in repairing our house, necessitating prolonged rental expenses. Despite our efforts to settle amicably, they persist in prolonging and escalating the dispute. This inci"

Second story addition building services FAQs

Many homeowners find adding a second story a worthwhile investment. It significantly increases their home's value and provides more living space to enjoy. It’s especially beneficial for homeowners with a limited lot size who want to add square footage without building out. 

The time required to build a second story depends on the size and complexity of the project. While most additions are completed within two to six months, some larger or more intricate designs may take up to a year. The permitting process, weather conditions, and material availability also affect the timeline.

Your budget, location, and lot size will determine if it’s best to build up or out. If you live on a lot with limited space, building up allows you to add square footage without taking up additional ground space. Building out is often best if you live in an area with zoning restrictions or want to live in your home while it’s under construction.
