POP TOP ADDITIONS

Paradigm Homes is the Pop Top leader in the building industry. We have established a revolutionary program and process, which yields creative home solutions. Sometimes, the best way to add space to your home is with a straightforward addition that extends your home’s footprint and lets you build “outward” on your lot. In many cases, however, it’s necessary to build upward, which makes our Pop Top additions ideal.

The Pop Top addition is a kind of remodeling project that adds new floors or levels (and their associated square footage) to an existing house. These additions can enhance outdated properties by adding open floor plans, master suites, new bedrooms and bathrooms, home offices, entertainment spaces, and anything else today’s modern family desires to improve their lifestyle.

Because of rising property values, Pop Top projects are extremely attractive. For families who don’t want to expand their footprint on their lot, a Pop Top can transform their home into something that can accommodate their evolving needs without having to change their address.

Pop Top additions also present more possibilities for those looking to buy a home. They make it possible to reinvent older homes that might have the perfect location but lack the space to accommodate the buyer. With Pop Top additions, both current owners and new buyers can add space to properties in desirable neighborhoods without taking up more of their lot.

The “Pop Top” is our term for a second-story home addition. Adding a second story to your one-level home is a great way to increase your overall square footage. You can enhance your lifestyle by adding a master suite, more bedrooms and bathrooms, and a second floor laundry. You also have the opportunity to improve your first level by upgrading your kitchen, opening up the floor plan, and creating a home more equipped for entertaining.

This all depends on the client’s choice and if they would like to remodel other areas of the current structure. We can certainly update additional areas like outdated kitchens and unfinished basements in addition to adding the Pop Top.

The Pop Top process is broken down into two phases: Pre-Construction and Construction. The Pre-Construction phase includes the design, finish selections, final pricing, and permit submissions. The Construction Phase is when the fun begins. During it, we begin the actual work on your Pop Top. The Pre-Construction stage takes about 3 to 5 months, depending on your local county jurisdictions and their permitting time and requirements. The Construction process for a Pop Top then takes about 6 months.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to live in your home during a Pop Top remodel. Your utilities will be shut off for certain periods of time during construction, limiting your ability to function normally. The home will also be open to external elements at times, and the dust and excess debris typically found on a working construction site will accumulate. For the process, we recommend that you find somewhere to relocate for 6 months. We can help with a rental search, if needed, through one of our partner firms. We also require all of the items in the home to be removed and stored to prevent any damage during the construction process.

The cost of a Pop Top depends on the overall scope of work, including the level of finishes you choose, the configuration of the design, and the amount of existing interior or exterior space that will be remodeled. There are several ways clients have paid for Pop Tops, but the easiest and most convenient way is with a construction loan or home equity loan. We can help guide you through the most cost-effective design and financing solutions.
