        "text": "When choosing a contractor for a second-story addition, look for extensive experience with similar projects, valid licenses, comprehensive insurance, and strong local references. A practical tradeoff to consider is balancing cost with the contractor's reputation and quality of work; the lowest bid isn't always the best value for such a significant structural project. Ensure they provide clear communication and detailed contracts.",
