Need Second Story Addition in Citrus?
Second Story Addition in Citrus, CA
A second story addition is the biggest structure change most homes in Citrus ever see. Ridgeline Western Construction begins by checking what your house can truly support, not just what the drawings show. Owner Steven Moreno is on hand to make sure foundation upgrades, added beams, and connections are included upfront, not as an afterthought. Through each phase—engineering, permitting, framing, subs, and inspections—you get one contract and a permit record that closes, not a patchwork of unfinished work.
Why Choose Ridgeline Western Construction for Second Story Addition in Citrus
Adding a second story to your Citrus house means everything above the old ceiling must be engineered to handle new weight and code requirements. The work starts with a close-up, framing-level assessment: is the foundation wide and deep enough, are the existing walls braced and anchored, and what needs reinforcing? Ridgeline Western Construction takes findings from this assessment to your engineer and city plan check from the start—so all necessary upgrades like engineered lumber, steel hardware, or anchor bolts get priced and permitted in your original estimate.
The construction calendar shifts once demolition begins. For a few weeks, the interior may be open to weather and noise as the crew removes the old roof and sets a new floor system for the upper level. We self-perform framing, then schedule plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins with our licensed subcontractors before the project is sealed back up and finished out. If you can relocate temporarily, some phases run quicker and with less interruption to daily life, but living onsite is still possible with advance planning.
Every required inspection in Citrus is tracked and documented: foundation upgrades, wall framing, new floor structure, trades, and final sign-off. Ridgeline Western Construction keeps your Citrus permit record updated throughout, so when the work wraps, you have a second story addition that’s fully code-compliant, permitted, and ready for any future need in Los Angeles, California.
Single Contract, Owner Scheduling
Ridgeline Western Construction self-performs all framing and carpentry, while orchestrating the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical trades through our own schedule. One point of contact manages demolition, build-out, sub-trade sequences, and inspection appointments—no hand-offs, no finger-pointing. Your Citrus second story is a whole-project delivery, not piecemeal.
Inspection Sign-Off and Permit Closeout
From foundation reinforcement to the very last trim-out, every milestone in your Citrus second story build triggers a city inspection and record update. Ridgeline Western Construction manages each approval, keeps paperwork current, and documents every phase so your final permit record is airtight. That means full code compliance for resale, insurance, or appraisal in California.
Upfront Structure Evaluation, Not Guesswork
Owner Steven Moreno walks every Citrus site before plans are finalized, checking whether your house’s foundation and framing are ready for another story. Any gap—undersized footings, missing hardware, insufficient shear—gets flagged so your engineering and permit submittal are complete from the start. This sharpens the cost and timeline, and avoids the surprises that cause stop orders mid-build.

What Our Clients Say about us..
"I connected with Steven Moreno at Ridgeline Western Construction about a year ago when I was scoping out a project. Steven’s knowledge blew me away from framing, additions, new construction, materials, etc. He broke everything down like it was nothing & in a way that I actually could understand. The company is based out of Fontana and covers a huge range from San Bernardino and Riverside all the way through Los Angeles and Orange County. So if you’re in that area and need a general contractor that you can rely on then I would highly recommend Ridgeline Western Construction to get the job done right."
