Total Home Transformation With Upper Level Addition in McLean
The addition of an entirely new second floor gives this family the space they need to function while updating the exterior to reflect their taste.
Customer Focus
Our MOSS customers came to us knowing they wanted to stay in their home in their McLean community, with friendly neighbors and good schools for their children. The problem? Their home, a standard split foyer, didn’t suit their needs as their children grew older. Knowing that yard space comes at a premium in Northern Virginia, they instead chose to add on an entire second floor above the home’s main structure, which would include a new master suite with ensuite bathroom, two bedrooms for their children with a connecting “jack and jill” bathroom, a new laundry room for the main level, and a stunning staircase to connect the top two levels. MOSS also transformed an old bedroom into a new home gym and updated the basement with built-ins and a fireplace to mimic the new built-ins and fireplace on the main level, plus added on a front porch with beautiful stonework. By focusing on our customers’ needs, the end result is beautiful and functional. To boot? The entire exterior was updated with new siding and a subdued blue color scheme – a dramatic difference from the original brick exterior.
Safety
Adding on so much space above where the family resided had to be done carefully and with planning. The family did move out of the home during a majority of the work, as it was not safe for them to be on-site during the framing of the new structure.

Performance
For an addition of this size, one might presume that it could take up to a year of work. In fact, start to finish the remodel process (actual construction, not design) took five months. With thoughtful project management of both MOSS team members and sub-contractors, the herculean effort was brought to fruition seamlessly.
Fairness
MOSS was transparent with our customers that delays occurred on certain selections they had chosen, as the supply chains were affected during the global pandemic.

Quality
High quality is a guiding principle of MOSS. We work extremely hard to deliver the best workmanship and materials at all times. This McLean addition reflects that, from the added front porch with stonework that is the perfect spot to relax with neighbors out front, to the details on the built-ins in the living room and basement, to the hand tiled showers in the bathrooms and much more. No detail was finalized without much thoughtful consideration.
