We are a full-service home remodeling company. While we specialize in kitchens and bathrooms, and finished basements; we literally handle all remodeling projects from exterior to interior. We believe in controlling inventory which helps us keep our costs down and pass the savings onto our customers. We are a local, owner operated company that believes in treating your home remodeling project like it's our own.

""I almost decided against writing this review, but ultimately felt it was important to share my experience so that my friends would not encounter the same issues." From the start, their time management was poor. I never pressured them for speed, yet they seemed to rush without attention to detail. My towel rack now hangs off the wall because they irresponsibly removed the heavy-duty anchors during demolition, despite knowing all fixtures were to be reinstalled. The tile work is disappointing, with uneven spacing and gaps. When I pointed this out, they tried an ineffective fix that only caused more problems. Their excuse was my walls, which is puzzling since they stripped the shower down entirely to the studs and replaced the drywall themselves; defying logical explanation. There were also numerous grout issues, with inconsistent lines, missing grout, and patches on the tiles. They have yet to fix the chipped tile they caused, offering only a partial credit for a tile that was supposedly out of stock. I had the opportunity to have these issues addressed, but my bathroom has already been out of service for more than three weeks. With a family of six, I required it to be operational immediately. In short, my experience has been marred by poor communication, lack of accountability, and severe time management issues. I cannot recommend AES Property Consultants. Choose a more reliable contractor who values their clients and their work. I deeply regret choosing them for my project."My Review of AES Property Consultants""

Been in the Insurance Restoration Business since 1992. Number of employees 15 to 25.

"The quality of work was great. All of the workers were exactly what you would hope for. We had work on an exterior wall, interior wall, sliding patio door replaced, new vinyl flooring by two doors, lots of wallpapering, and carpet replaced, requiring different workmen on different days, stretching the completion time over a few months."

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.
