MAV Design & Build builds second-story additions throughout Sugar Land TX and Fort Bend County, transforming single-story homes into spacious two-story residences. A second-story addition is the most efficient way to double your living space without reducing your yard footprint — ideal for Fort Bend County’s premium neighborhoods where lot coverage restrictions limit horizontal expansion. We handle structural engineering, HOA approvals, permitting, and construction under a single fixed-price contract.
Full vs. Partial Second-Story Additions in Sugar Land TX
MAV builds both full second-story additions that cover the entire footprint of the existing home and partial additions that expand over a wing or section. A full second story adds master suites, bedrooms, bathrooms, and a loft or bonus room above the main living area. A partial addition is often used to add a master suite over the garage or a bedroom wing over an existing family room.

All second-story additions in Sugar Land TX require Fort Bend County permits including full structural engineering drawings by a licensed Texas PE assessing the existing foundation’s capacity to support the additional load.

Living in the Home During Construction
Many Sugar Land homeowners remain in their homes during second-story construction.
