Second story addition
Second story addition
I would like to add a second story addition to my 1982 modular ranch home which is on pilings. Is it possible? Ths view of the Bay would be unobstructed from the second story, if it could be done.
Re: Second story addition
Usually, at least in a site built home, the first story has to have a thicker foundation and a certain 2x thickness of exterior walls that would hold the load of the second story.
My guess is that's it's highly unlikely, but your best bet would be to contact your modular home dealer.

Kevin,
your best bet would be to hire a registered engineer and have then look at it,and they can draw up the blueprints (if possible) because you will need these anyway if it can be done
