Kitchen and Bath Works Inc has been owner operated and successfully in business since 1994. Offering a consultative approach and delivering on quality, custom work, our business has been overwhelmingly driven by word of mouth referrals. From start to finish, we stand by our work and our owner is committed to being present on all jobs.
"Lou renovated my kitchen last year and I was completely satisfied. I called him back this summer to gut and remodel my bathroom. He was extremely considerate, and he treated my house as if it were his own. My house is small, and I only have one bathroom. The project took nine days. I was anticipating that there would be a big mess and a huge inconvenience. But even the demo was done very neatly and efficiently. Lou even took the time to re-connect the toilet each night so that I wouldn't be left without. Lou did an amazing job, and it was a pleasure working with him. Once again, I am pleased to recommend Lou for your kitchen or bath project."

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.
