Second-Story Additions in Nashville
When your lot is full, you build up. A second-story addition adds bedrooms, baths and living space without taking away your yard.

Second-Story Additions, Done Right
Building up is a major project, and it starts with structure: can the existing walls and foundation carry the load, and what reinforcement is needed? We evaluate before we design.
We plan the stair location, the new floor plan, the roof and the exterior look so the finished home feels cohesive rather than stacked.
Music City Remodels brings second-story additions to homes in Nashville and across 21 Middle Tennessee cities.
