At Radical Renovations, we bring 21 years of experience to every project , and the highest standards of quality and commitment. Each step of your project will be closely evaluated to determine functionality, aesthetics, and value, as we examine every option available to best allocate your budget. We carefully select quality products, and use proper installation procedures to ensure timeless results. Specializing in kitchen and bathroom remodeling, our company also offers a wide range of interior and exterior improvements: drywall, painting, replacement windows, doors, carpentry, flooring, and more.

"We have a smaller upstairs bathroom that had not been touched since 1975. The shower had been unusable for over a decade due to leakage. The space had to be completely gutted down to the studs and completely redone. The contractor we had used several times over the years retired, so we needed someone new who we could trust. Radical Renovations (Angelo) was recommended to us by N & S Supply in Kingston and I'm SO happy we hired him! He's professional, responsive, patient and finds solutions to all issues that invariably come up when you're dealing with old homes. Plus, the crew who he brought in to work with him was also pleasant and professional. I would absolutely hire Angelo again...in fact I already am!"

"John J. Sala Construction Corp. was hired to reconstruct and upgrade the home of a 90 year old widow. This project touched major parts of the house, including all interior walls, hardwood floor, siding, deck and roof. Every single part of this project was left incomplete or damaged when John and his son Jay abandoned the project in April 2019. We had several contracts with them, for example for a new air conditioning system, replacing the basement floor, etc. When the work was nearing completion, John came and demanded more money, and we set up a payment schedule for the remainder of our contract and paid him for some additional work, removing the hot water heating system covers in all the rooms, so they could be replaced. Following a partial payment for this action, the company damaged the heating system and abandoned the project. John J. Sala Construction Corp. did not maintain the correct permits. He did not obtain or use any architectural documents, even though he reassured us he was going do do both. The siding was put on incorrectly, at the wrong angle and without room for expansion so that when summer came, it all warped off the house. All the windows were replaced. Several windows were installed without screens. one window frame was damaged during the installation process and all windows were not installed correctly in relation to the siding. The decks on the house were installed against code, including incorrectly attached guard rails, incorrect stairs, and not attached to the house using the correct anchors. Speaking of code, the AC, and electric work they were responsible for were never permitted and a stop work order was issued. John J. Sala Construction Corp. talked us into installing an inferior laminate floor throughout the basement instead of patching the existing, higher quality floor. his floor was installed up to, but not under appliances, and in one room was installed so poorly that it cracked the marble transition to an existing bathroom and left no expansion space, so the floor warped. John Sala was supposed to replace, repair and paint all the walls of the upstairs. This was not done. The walls were patched and painted poorly, and when this was pointed out, he demanded more money to paint them to actually fully cover the wall, instead of actually replacing the wall board as specified. The upstairs hardwood floors were to be replaced, sanded and finished. this was not done. As a part of the heat radiator covers, John J. Sala Construction Corp. went through each room and severely damaged the walls, the heating elements, and the heating system itself, forcing us to turn off the water to the house and heating system, to the point where the heating system water was pouring out through the wall and out of the house. John and Jay assessed the situation and refused to repair this damage. A member of the construction crew broke into the house through the locked garage, destroying the garage door automatic opener and bending the garage door hinges. This appears to have happened repeatedly, even though John J. Sala Construction Corp. had a valid key to the back door of the house until the locks were rekeyed in January 2020. This company is unreliable in actions, stated activity, and ability to complete work in a professional manner. My family does not recommend."

"Dave Nessel and his stellar company, Unique Construction NY Inc. are the BEST. Allow me tell you why- On May 15th 2022 at 5:45 p.m., my house was hit by, what electrical engineers later estimated, was at least 80,000 volts of lightning. That huge, direct surge of energy destroyed all the systems and contents that made my house more than four walls and a roof. In addition to the bolt of lightning destroying all the systems in the house, it caused a violent, destructive fire. Thankfully I was home at the time of the incident, or the house would have quickly burned down all the way down and my pets would have suffered a terrible fate. Still, after all was said and done what had been my home for seventeen years was reduced to nothing more than an outer shell. I was immediately forced into the position to find, hire, and organize tradesmen from all specialties, negotiate the endless complexities of homeowners insurance, all while trying to find a place to live and continuing my self-employed full-time work schedule. It quickly became clear I needed the services of a general contractor. I interviewed a couple, but as soon as I met Dave I knew he was the man for the job. Dave was always on time or early. He went through the house with a fine tooth comb for hours, noticing things and problems from the destruction I hadn't noticed. His expertise of every level of construction and understanding of all aspects of housing systems (electrical, plumbing, etc) was unmatched by anyone else I had interviewed. Additionally he had an understanding of the homeowner insurance protocols and was able to interject as a supporting role (only when needed, Dave never undermined me -I'm a single female homeowner-) with professional, easy to read, paperwork, accurately demonstrating all costs. I'm confident his detailed documentation made the long slog of negotiations with my insurance representatives a little easier. Under his expert guidance, his company gutted and rebuilt my old house to beautifully modern standards while maintaining its historical charm. The rebuild came in precisely on budget and two weeks early. Dave's company Unique Construction handled my complex situation with upstanding processional skill, old fashioned kindness, and outstanding forthrightness. Dave and his crew treated me with respect, rebuilt my home, and provided a little hand holding & TLC when it seemed I needed it and I'm eternally grateful. Anyone reading this should hire Unique Construction!"

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Kingston, NY

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.
