Second Story Additions — North Seattle, Washington
Pacific Pro Group was founded on a simple premise: North Seattle homeowners who want to expand their living space deserve a contractor who handles the entire process — not one who farms out the permits, the design review, and the engineering to third parties, then tries to coordinate it all.
We built our practice around in-house permit services. When SDCI has a question about your application, it's our team on the phone — not an expediter who handles 40 projects simultaneously. When Seattle's energy code requires a specific insulation approach, we know it because we've done it before, not because we're reading the code for the first time.
North Seattle has some of the most constrained housing supply in the country. Green Lake, Wedgwood, Phinney Ridge, and Ballard are established neighborhoods with good schools, walkable streets, and strong community — homeowners who want more space often can't find it without moving. That's where a second story addition makes sense.
Seattle's permit environment is complex. SDCI (Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections) runs one of the most rigorous residential review processes in the country. Energy code requirements are the strictest of any US city. Design review applies to many residential zones above certain thresholds. And neighborhoods like Green Lake and Phinney Ridge sit adjacent to Landmark structures — which adds another review layer. Pacific Pro Group has navigated all of it.
Our ~2 years in business and 3 completed second story additions give us enough experience to know what we're doing — but we're still small enough that every project gets real attention from Alex and the team. When you call, you talk to us. Not a project manager who inherited your file.
Most contractors sub out permit work. We don't. Our team handles SDCI applications, design review coordination, and energy code compliance internally. That means faster timelines, fewer dropped threads, and someone who actually knows your project when an inspector shows up.
Builder ID 112422 gives you real-time visibility into your project schedule, budget, daily logs, and documents. No chasing your PM for status updates — you can check Buildertrend yourself at any time. We've worked with it from day one.
We weatherproof your new second floor before removing the old roof. Your first floor stays dry and habitable throughout construction — even through a Seattle winter (October–March). Seattle's rainy season requires careful sequencing; we plan around it.
North Seattle construction costs are real. Our estimates are based on actual project costs in your specific neighborhood. You'll see the line items: permits, structural engineering, design review, framing, weatherproofing, finishes. No surprises at the end.
Pacific Pro Group works across North Seattle and surrounding communities. Every project includes a zoning, permit, and HOA review of the specific address and neighborhood before you commit.
