Pop Tops & Additions for Historic Homes in Denver
Home additions, particularly pop tops, are one of the best ways to maximize your home’s footprint. Pop tops are more and more popular when remodeling homes in Denver’s older neighborhoods as they allow you to build up where other additions aren’t possible. If you’re living in an older single-family home in Denver, a pop top can give you the space you’re looking for.
We’ll help you determine if your home meets the structural requirements necessary for second-story addition. Our team is experienced with Denver’s zoning restrictions, building codes, permitting systems, and much more. Send us a message below, give us a few details on what you’re looking for, and we’ll help you with the best course of action to get you the space you need.
What’s Involved in a Second-Story Addition (Pop Top)?
Adding a second story to your home in Denver requires a thorough understanding and familiarity with the local building codes—something that we pride ourselves on at PR Builders. Some of the ins and outs we consider as pop top contractors are:
- Zoning & Building Requirements: Does the second story comply with local zoning ordinances and building codes?
- Structural Integrity: Can your home support the additional weight of a second story?
- Energy Efficiency: Does the new construction follow the international energy conservation code as adopted by the city of Denver?
- Existing Utilities: Are the current electrical, HVAC, and other systems adequate for the increased space?
- Proper Egress: Do the additional rooms have proper windows in place in case of emergencies?
Our thorough, professional pre-construction process is designed to set the groundwork for a pain-free home addition process: meeting local requirements and exceeding your expectations. We team up with incredible architects, engineers, and designers to assemble the perfect team for your project.

How Much Does it Cost to Pop the Top on a House in Denver?
Getting a “pop top” or second-story addition on your home is a more affordable option comparable to the cost of moving or building a new home, especially in the Denver area. A pop top is a great way to add both space and value while staying in a neighborhood you love and a home that you own. Some factors that will influence the cost of your Denver pop top is the square footage you want to add, the structural integrity of your current home, the selections and finishes you choose, and permits required.

When considering your options, the difference lies here: a remodel can free up your space, but home additions are the only way to add square footage. Only you can decide which of the two will serve your goals, and we’ll help you come to the decision of which is feasible. When you discuss it with us, we’ll consider your budget, your space requirements, zoning and regulations, your long-term goals, and your desired project timeline among other things to give clarity to your decision.
The main difference is the size and scale. A home addition is the construction of a completely new section onto your home (either to the ground level or adding a level) to add significant square footage, usually in the form of full rooms. A bump-out is a smaller addition that extends from a single existing room to expand floor area but is not a completely new room or wing. Unlike additions that can be multi-level, bump-outs are typically done room by room on the ground level only.
Deciding between a pop-top (second-story addition) or a ground-level addition will depend primarily on structural feasibility. We can determine if your house’s foundation and structure can support an additional story as part of our pre-construction process. Building regulations and local zoning laws may also play a role in determining the feasibility of adding a level vs. adding to the ground level. This decision will also depend on your budget, as adding a story generally involves more extensive construction than adding to the ground level.
