"Our family home has always been clean and functional but after thirty years it had become more a picture postcard from the 1980’s than the warm inviting image we had in our mind. It was obviously time to update. Unfortunately, after talking with numerous contractors, it seemed we would have to reduce our expectations or spend more than we had budgeted to afford remodeling our “dining room, living room, kitchen” (and eventually bathrooms too!) project. While pondering our next move a family friend told us they recently had Rohan remodel their kitchen/living space and it looked great and was, they thought, affordable. After seeing for ourselves the quality of workmanship, the improvements to ‘flow and functionality’ and the overall aesthetic appeal, we decided to give Rohan a call. Boy are we glad we did! Upon meeting Rohan for the first time we were shown the same optimism, knowledge through experience, flexibility of thought and dedication to quality that would continue straight through to the end of our multi-week project. His proposal/estimate covered all our wants and needs while fitting within our budget. The job was a total re-do and from floors to walls to counters to cabinets to plumbing to electrics and all were handled by Rohan and his team with time honed skill. The work was done in a timely fashion without ever leaving us wondering where people were or what they were going to be doing each step of the way. Every eventual ‘architectural surprise’ was met with candor, budgeted creativity and a hearty “no problem!” In the end our home was transformed ergonomically, aesthetically and affordably into a beautiful space where family and friends gather in happiness and in harmony with their surroundings. If you are considering remodeling your home we urge you to give Rohan a call. Boy will you be glad you did! "

They moved the hallway, opened the living area, and added a custom touch in almost every room. They rebuilt the inside from the studs and used solid-core doors and clean finishes. We went with soft white walls, bronze handles, and natural maple cabinets. Now, it all feels open and calm. Every room has a purpose."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in District Heights, MD
Converting a vaulted ceiling into a second floor requires three to six months from planning to completion. The process begins with several weeks of design and engineering, followed by permit applications, which vary in processing time by location.
Construction itself spans several months, including framing, systems installation, and finishing work. Weather conditions, contractor availability, and inspection schedules can all influence your project timeline.
Several factors could make your conversion challenging or impossible. Inadequate roof support structures, insufficient foundation capacity, or problematic truss configurations might require prohibitively expensive modifications.
Some homes lack the minimum ceiling height (12 feet at the lowest point) needed for functional second-floor spaces. Building code restrictions in your area might also limit conversion possibilities, particularly in historic districts or homes with specific architectural designations.
Begin with professional assessments from both an architect and a structural engineer who will evaluate your home's specific characteristics. They'll examine existing framing, measure available headroom, assess load-bearing capacity, and identify potential obstacles like HVAC ducts or plumbing vents.
These experts will also review local building codes to determine feasibility. Their preliminary analysis provides crucial information about structural requirements and potential limitations before you commit to the project.
Whether you'll need temporary housing depends on several factors, including the project's scope and your tolerance for construction disruption. Major structural work creates significant noise, dust, and potential utility interruptions that many families find challenging to live with. Safety concerns may also arise during certain construction phases.
Some homeowners successfully remain by isolating the construction zone and establishing clear work schedules. Discuss living arrangements with your contractor early in the planning process to make informed decisions.
