Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Benefits of Adding a Second Story vs. Moving

Deciding whether to add on to your existing home or move to a new one is a significant choice.  There are a few major benefits to adding on an addition vs. making a move - especially during a volatile housing market.

✅ Stay in Your Preferred Location
If you love your local schools, have short commutes, or have built strong community ties, adding a second story addition to your home allows you to enjoy more space without uprooting your life.

✅ Customize and Personalize

Home additions allow you to tailor your space to meet your exact needs. An addition provides the flexibility to design a space that works for your lifestyle. Finding a new home with what you want is always a gamble.

✅ Avoid Moving Costs and Market Uncertainty

Moving involves significant expenses. Additionally, navigating the real estate market can be challenging, particularly
with the high housing prices and fluctuating mortgage rates.

Before

This family loved their home, but not the space it provided. As a single story 4bed/2bath rambler, it worked for now – but with two growing toddlers and another baby on the way, they were thinking of the future.

After

All said and done, the completed house stands at 6 bed, 4 bath. Plenty of room (no pun intended) to grow as life changes. As a part of the process, we also updated a few features on the main floor.

Before

With a growing family, this Minnesota family needed more space in their home. When you love your home and your location, why not build up?

After

We helped transform this home with a spacious second story addition and a new 4-season porch. There's now plenty of room to grow for this expanding family!

Meet the Titus Team

The business world can feel pretty rough-and-tumble at times. The overblown egos, the broken promises, the inflated prices—it can all be so frustrating. Business transactions too often feel like ordeals to be survived. But they really should be mutually beneficial exchanges that help both sides in equal measure.

When we launched Titus Contracting, we wanted to be a different type of business. We decided to test the old adage that says nice guys (and gals) finish last. We were convinced we could build a successful business on a foundation of human decency. If we were wrong, we’d just do something else to make a living.

What Minnesota Homeowners are Saying

Titus remodeled our entire house and made it our home! During the 10-month project, all staff and crew members were onsite when promised and the project was completed on budget. Our project included a lot of work from all the trades, and they were on time, respectful, and always left a clean jobsite.

I was fortunate enough to hire Titus to remodel 150-year-old carriage house I bought by the Cathedral in St. Paul. They literally couldn't have been more amazing (on every level) and I couldn't be more satisfied with the work as well as the experience.

Titus Construction did two projects for us, a new addition family room and a Porch, which we LOVE very much. I like that they were very Professional, Respectful to us and our property/Home and as promised they finished on time.

We have had Titus do three major re-modelings to our townhome in Edina, beginning with the whole main floor when we bought the unit, then the lower level, and finally the master bath. We continued to use them because of the incredible quality of their work, the professional managing of the details, and the talent and integrity of all of their employees.

We just wrapped up our remodeling project that touched over half of our home, and are extremely happy. We reached out to Titus after almost signing a contract with another company that had a lower price tag, but provided no plans or design, and knew would be a much larger cost than the contracted quote amount. We are very happy with the decision, and are looking forward to completing our lower level with Titus.

The crew at Titus was fantastic to work with! From the planning process through all phases of construction it was very clear that communication and high-quality work are top priorities. The Scott’s, Tracey, and the other workers throughout the project were all very professional, polite, and took the time to not only get the job done, but get it all done the right way and on time! We are very pleased with the outcome of our project and would definitely recommend Titus to others!
