"Brian met with us, took copious notes on what we were looking to do, and then provided a detailed proposal. His was not the lowest priced bid, but on 2 separate occasions I had questions that I emailed him, and he responded within 12 hours each time. (I can't say the same about the sales guy from a different company I had bid on our project, who never emailed back or called unless I tried to contact him twice.) Brian was beyond diligent, and sincerely cared that we would be happy with our end result. He did a computer-diagrammed plan of our front planting beds that we were refreshing, including removal of several cubic yards of rock and moving it to some areas in our side and backyard that needed it and disposing the rest, as well as removal of old poly and stale and dying plants. He and his crew were careful not to damage our lawn with their heavy equipment. They used plywood laid down on the grass so no ruts would go into our yard from the Bobcat. All told 3 separate front planting beds were refreshed. in one of the beds, a few of the new plants, still in their pots, were ones my wife didn't end up liking aesthetically, and Brian made suggestions on alternatives and with absolutely no qualms he replaced the original choices with the new ones, no questions asked. They planted all new shrubs and plants and laid down new mulch. In our backyard there were 3 old overgrown and dead junipers that they removed and regraded a small sloped bed and planted some more appropriate evergreens and groundcover plants. More mulch went down there as well. In both the front and backyards, a couple of drain tiles were placed to aid in diverting sump pump water away from the house in the back, and improve drainage from a previously installed drain tile in the back corner of our backyard. Everything went on schedule and Brian's crew was diligent and pleasant to work with. Brian made sure to supervise everything each day. He rounded it all out with an excellent review of the care of the new plants, complete with a folder with lots of written instructions that are easy to follow. Brian and his company were a pleasure to work with, and frankly the gold standard in customer service for any contractor, landscaping or otherwise."

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.
