Expert Second Story Additions in Metro Phoenix & Maricopa County

A second story addition gives Chandler homeowners a way to double their living space while keeping their yard intact. R&M Remodeling handles the full scope of work, from structural assessment and framing to roofing, electrical, plumbing, and interior finish. Many Chandler homes sit on single-story footprints in established neighborhoods where lot space is limited. Building up is often the most practical way to add bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office. Chandler's soil conditions vary by area, and southern parts of the city can include expansive clay that affects foundation and footing requirements. A proper structural evaluation at the start of your project accounts for those conditions. HOA approval is also a common step for Chandler homeowners before city review begins. R&M Remodeling coordinates the process from plan to final inspection. If you are ready to add space to your Chandler home, contact us to schedule a walkthrough.

Second Story Additions FAQ

Common questions about second story additions in Metro Phoenix & Maricopa County.

Yes, a structural evaluation is required before any second story addition in Chandler. The existing walls, foundation, and framing must be assessed to confirm they can carry the added load.

Yes, HOA approval is a required step for most Chandler homeowners before the city review process begins. The city does not enforce HOA rules, so that approval must be secured separately.

Yes, a second story addition can include one or more full bathrooms. Plumbing is routed during the framing stage as part of the overall build.

Yes, the exterior will change, and the new level is designed to match or complement your existing roofline and facade. Chandler homeowners often use this as an opportunity to refresh the overall look of the home.

We start with a walkthrough of your Chandler home to assess the existing structure and discuss your space goals. From there, we coordinate design, structural review, and city documentation before any work begins.

R&M Construction and Development did an excellent job painting the exterior of my home. From the beginning, they were transparent about the work that needed to be completed to ensure the best possible results. They were also very accommodating with last-minute changes and provided helpful recommendations throughout the decision-making process. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and I was able to see noticeable progress every day. Overall, I highly recommend R&M Construction and Development for any home improvement project.

Had the best experience with R&M Construction and Development. We redid all of the flooring, full interior paint and remodeled 2 bathrooms with them. The work they did came out amazing. They were very professional. We were not living at the home when the work was done but we went frequently to check on it and every time we went the home was always cleaned up by the time they left. Their team whole very helpful. They helped us with painting samples and explained the different paints. I'm in love with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend them.

R&M Construction and Development did an outstanding job building my spec home in Tonopah, Arizona. From start to finish, their team was professional, organized, and easy to work with. Communication was clear throughout the entire process, and they kept everything moving on schedule while maintaining high-quality workmanship. Their attention to detail really stood out from the finishes to the overall build quality, everything was done right the first time. They were transparent with costs, handled challenges quickly, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a reliable builder who takes pride in their work and delivers exactly what they promise, I highly recommend Ramiro. I’m excited to keep working with him on the second spec later this year. Jose Romero

I am very happy with the final result of my bathroom remodel by R&M Construction & Development. They have a great team! They communicated with me consistently through out the whole project, answered every question or concern I had immediately (day or night), explained everything in great detail, and reassured me regularly. I trust them completely and will use them when I have another project. I highly recommend them to friends & family,

Janet Johnson Google review · June 2026

I remodeled my whole home with R&M and his team. From floors, paint, kitchen, bathrooms, underground plumbing, patio and a few other projects and I cant say enough about them. The team is very competent! They communicate with you throughout the whole project and the quality is top notch. If you’re looking for quality and a great experience overall, this is your contractor.
