"Malcolm and his crew were professional and did a great job. He actually came back to finish a small portion of the job (I have learned most don't, sadly). He is honest, helpful and diligent.

"My second floor was sinking toward the middle of the house. Charlie determined what needed to be done and had his men start the process of jacking up the second floor and installing the support needed since when originally built, the load bearing walls did not have the support needed. Despite being very busy, Charlie squeezed my job in and his guys showed up on time every day till the job was done. They were respectful, never slacked off, but worked constantly and cleaned up after themselves every day before they left. They did a great job! This was a very unique and difficult problem to resolve but Charlie and his crew did it and did it well and at a very reasonable cost. I am so happy with the job they did and will definitely hire them again."

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.
