        "text": "Adding a second story typically involves a multi-phase process. Initially, a structural assessment confirms your existing foundation can support the additional weight. Then, architectural plans are drawn, followed by securing necessary permits. Construction includes framing the new floor, installing plumbing and electrical, adding roofing, and finishing the interior and exterior to match your home.
