"Description of Work: Bathroom Flooring and Fireplace Remodeling Beware of this company. I strongly advise caution before hiring them, as they have demonstrated a lack of integrity and ethical behavior in completing the job properly. Pros: The only positive aspect of this experience was the subcontracted crew who did the actual work. They were excellent, skilled, and professional. The issues cannot be blamed on them, as they simply followed the instructions provided by Mike, the company representative. Cons: After the crew finished their portion of the work, Mike B. was supposed to return on a Saturday to inspect and finalize the job. I set aside the day, but that morning, he texted me to say he was going to a Sabres game instead. He later called to say he would come on Sunday, but I told him Sunday is a rest and church day for us and he raised his voice, insisting he needed to come early Sunday so he could attend another sporting event later as I was still talking he hung up on me. This unprofessional behavior showed that sports were more important to him than completing the job properly. When I spoke to James, the owner, he promised to make things right. However, when the team returned, they installed the bathroom vanity and finished some trimming on the fireplace—but not without additional costs. I had to pay out of pocket for caulking, paint, and the materials needed to connect the vanity to the plumbing system, all of which were supposed to be included in the contract. Final Outcome: I paid $11,200 for the company to subcontract the job to an excellent crew, but the company itself failed to deliver on their promises and how the job was to be done. I ended up finishing some of the caulking, fireplace boarding, and trimming myself. Despite the company’s breach of contract and mishandling, they offered no meaningful discount or compensation for these mishaps. Recommendation: • Do not hire this company. They prioritize personal interests over professionalism and fail to meet contractual obligations. • If you happen to come across the subcontracted crew they used, I recommend hiring them directly. They were courteous, skilled, and efficient. • Be prepared to buy your own materials, as this company did not include them, adding unexpected costs to the project. In summary, while I’m happy with the crew’s work, the overall experience with this company was disappointing. I would not recommend them to anyone."

Second story addition building services FAQs
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.
