Why Second Story Additions, Specifically?
Joshua started Precision Homecrafters with a simple observation: the best Birmingham neighborhoods — Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia — don't have room for additions that sprawl outward. A family in Mountain Brook isn't going to tear down their landscaping for a new wing. They're going to build up.
Second story work is technically demanding. You have to preserve the existing structure while building above it, manage weatherproofing throughout, and make sure the addition blends with the original architecture. That's harder than new construction — but it's also what Joshua finds most satisfying.
"A good second story addition should be invisible from the street," he says. "It should look like the house was always built that way." That's the standard he holds every project to.
