Fallbrook, CA
San Diego County
High Ceiling Conversion

We are excited to share some big news with the Fallbrook community! TruPlans and CALOFT are bringing our specialized high ceiling conversion services to local homeowners looking to unlock the hidden potential within their homes.

Have you ever looked up at the unused space above your living room and thought, "Could this become an actual room?" In many cases, the answer is absolutely yes!

Many two-story homes have valuable square footage sitting unused above their main living areas. Rather than letting that space go to waste, homeowners can often transform it into a beautiful new area designed around their family's needs. Whether it's an open loft, a home office, an additional bedroom, a media room, or a play space, high ceiling conversions provide an efficient way to expand your home without the cost and disruption of building outward.

This is exactly where TruPlans and CALOFT excel. With more than two decades of experience specializing in these unique renovations, we've helped homeowners convert empty vertical space into functional additions that feel like they were always part of the original home.

From the initial design concepts to the final stages of construction, our teams work together to create a seamless remodeling experience. Through detailed architectural planning and realistic 3D renderings, homeowners can visualize their future space before construction begins, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully planned.
​
We are excited to begin working with homeowners throughout Fallbrook and look forward to showcasing the incredible transformations ahead. If you've been wondering what your unused high ceiling could become, now is the perfect time to explore the possibilities. The extra room your family needs may already be waiting above you!

San Diego, CA
San Diego County
High Ceiling Conversion

This home's soaring ceiling is about to become one of its greatest assets. Rather than leaving all of that overhead space unused, these homeowners are converting it into a generous open loft that will add valuable living space without altering the home's footprint.

Few room additions offer the versatility of an open loft. It can function as a home office, entertainment area, study space, reading corner, gaming lounge, or simply a comfortable place for the family to spend time together. As your family's needs evolve, the space can easily evolve with them.

One feature homeowners especially appreciate is that an open loft doesn't sacrifice the home's spacious feel. Instead, it expands the home's usable square footage while preserving the open sightlines and abundant natural light that make the upper level feel bright and inviting. The result is a living space that feels both larger and more practical.

For many families, it's the ideal balance. They gain meaningful everyday living space while retaining the open character that attracted them to the home in the first place. It's a smart renovation that delivers the benefits of both worlds.

Our architectural designers are now putting the finishing touches on a collection of lifelike 3D visualizations, allowing the homeowners to experience the proposed transformation before construction begins. Once the plans receive final approval, the CALOFT construction team will bring every detail to life with the quality craftsmanship they're known for.

Riverside, CA Remodel
Riverside County
High Ceiling Conversion

Check out this very handy breakdown of our high ceiling conversion process! Our goal with producing this package is to provide clarity for the start-to-finish journey of these unique types of remodels. 

The most important step is the very first - the home has to qualify. A one story home, for example, would not qualify. This doesn't mean we wouldn't be interested in your home project, but a whole second story addition entails quite a bit more on the design, planning, and construction side. The budget would be quite a bit higher too. The main advantage of a high ceiling conversion is the amount of potential space to be gained relative to the amount of money spent. 

The planning and permitting can be quite a headache. Fortunately for the homeowners, we handle ALL of that. Because we have 20+ years of experience in this field, we navigate the often confusing web of this process with lightning-fast efficiency and precision! 

And that leads us to the construction process. A standard high ceiling conversion takes 2-3 weeks - much, MUCH faster than non-specialists can muster. The best part? We perform this expert-level renovation while you are still in your home AND ensuring that both the project area and the rest of the home stay clean. Many people and pets are sensitive to dust particles, so we take extra care in these situations. 

What does all of this mean in the end? You get an entirely new room built into your empty high ceiling space - all without having to deal with the fuss!

Dublin, CA Remodeler
Alameda County
High Ceiling Conversion

Most of our clients reach out to us with the need for a new bedroom. Some people, however, seek out a high ceiling conversion for a slightly different purpose. 

For this Dublin household, what this family really wants is a dedicated media room - sofa, projector and all. 

In collaboration with our architectural design team and our video marketing team, we have created both long-form and short-form videos showcasing this home's dramatic remodeling future. Watch as that empty space slowly transforms into new functional space! More square footage and functionality in your existing home is a big win!

These videos really help our clients. Being able to visualize these renovations is crucial, ensuring they are truly getting what they want before construction begins. This also helps potential 'window shoppers' who happen upon our videos and live in a similar home.

Rancho Cordova, CA Remodeler
Sacramento County
High Ceiling Conversion

With this much empty space overhead, the question goes from, "can we fit a room up there?", to "how many rooms can we fit up there?". 

It's a good situation to be in, as it affords many different possibilities for room configurations. These homeowners decided they would like not one, but TWO OPEN LOFTS!

Adding two open lofts to a home provides a huge square footage boost for the property. This extra space is not just an illusion - it is reality. These open loft areas can serve many different functions for these homeowners. For example, the larger loft can exist as a comfy media room, while the smaller loft can serve as a cozy reading environment.  With this much real estate being added to the home, it affords many different possibilities for this family. 

Thanks to our expert architectural design team, we can see these dramatic renovations to this home long before construction begins. This helps the homeowners get a clear picture of what their home's glo-up will look like, as well as entice people that are considering doing the same to their home.

Oceanside, CA Remodeler

High Ceiling Conversion

Have a high ceiling? Finding your current media room getting crowded on the weekends? Then you definitely want to check out what we are doing to this home!

By simply looking up in this home's dining area, you can see a vast emptiness looming above. This high ceiling isn't really serving much purpose for this family, so why not convert that into functional living space? So that is exactly what is happening here: we're transforming that vacant lot into a NEW OPEN LOFT!

This new addition adds so much value to this home, both monetary and functionally. It provides another gathering point for the family to spend time together with, AND adds square footage to the home. More square footage means more value to the home should this family decide to sell at a later time.

Rancho Peñasquitos, CA
San Diego County
High Ceiling Conversion

A sloped, vaulted ceiling can prove to be tricky when considering a room addition up there. If we were to keep the ceiling as-is, the most sensible approach would be to add a loft space. This new loft could function as a play room, storage, etc. Going this route would mean that headroom would be a constant concern. 

What this growing family really needed was a new bedroom, but not being able to stand in half the new bedroom just did not sound very appealing. That's when the solution became obvious - build outwards via DORMER ADDITION!

Our expert architectural design team used 3D imagery to showcase what this new room addition would look like, and our client was very pleased. They knew what they were getting with their home renovation long before construction ever started!

TruPlans and the CALOFT team are really happy with the way this remodel turned out, and we're sure the homeowners are too! If you would like to follow this home's high ceiling conversion journey - or any other projects within the Rancho Penasquitos community - then click the button below!

Danville, CA Remodeler
Contra Costa County
High Ceiling Conversion

​Maximizing your square footage - that is the goal with a high ceiling conversion! 

This growing family needed a dedicated play area for the kids, and that is when their attention turned to that high ceiling space hovering above the living room. With a flat, non-vaulted ceiling and plenty of space, that emptiness was the perfect candidate for an open loft addition!

They knew exactly what they were going to get before construction even started. Thanks to our expert architectural design team, they were able to visualize this dramatic remodel through our 3D renders!

This open loft addition is a massive improvement to the family's lives. They get plenty of new space for the kids to play in, while keeping the rest of the home neat and tidy.

These shorts offer a brief glimpse into each of our projects' home remodeling journey. This wonderful Oceanside, CA property is going to be gaining the following: 

✅ Bedroom
✅ Closet
✅ Bathroom

All thanks to their enormous open-to-below space hovering above their living room. With this much high ceiling space, it opens up a lot of possibilities for different rooms and room configurations. Being that this family is growing and needs more space for the kids, the bedroom is the smartest choice!

The CALOFT team is hard-at-work giving this home the glo-up it deserves. If you want to follow this home improvement journey - as well as check out our other projects in the Oceanside community - then click the button below!

This kind of high ceiling conversion can be a bit tricky to envision. Thankfully, we have our master design team to produce the 3D models showcasing the proposed designs, as well as our awesome video production team to package it all together nicely! 

That empty space above the living room is about to be converted into more livable square footage in the form of a bedroom! That skylight is going to be retained, which will allow for plentiful amounts of natural light to warm the new space. While closets are a standard inclusion with bedroom additions, we're going the extra mile by providing an additional storage closet unit! 

But how about access to the new bedroom? That's where the new hallway comes in. Functionally, it serves as a connection point. However, there's also enough space to set up a small office there as well. Talk about efficiency! 

At first glance, these proposed changes don't look very feasible in this kind of high ceiling space. This is one of the many reasons we go through the effort of producing 3D visuals and wrap them up in a stylish video. These videos serve as evidence that this kind of addition is not only possible, but desirable!

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA Remodeler

High Ceiling Conversion

These kinds of vaulted ceilings cause people to immediately discount the possibility of a high ceiling conversion. It's a shame really, because with some out-of-the-box thinking, it's not only possible but desirable! 

So with that cleared up, what kind of remodeling transformation is in-store for this home? We're going to be putting a new dormer bedroom in their high ceiling! A dormer addition will allow for this new bedroom to truly feel like one - whether it's the included closet or the amount of vertical and horizontal space in this new room. 

As is, this is the most space this bedroom can realistically have. The presence of the fireplace and chimney prohibits this room from expanding out further towards the living room. Removing the fireplace and chimney will allow for even more functional square footage to be gained. Whether the homeowners decide to keep or remove the fireplace, there is still valuable space to be gained here.  

Thanks to our expert design team, we can see these dramatic remodeling transformations unfold with stunning photorealism! This project is in the final design stages, and is about to jump to the next phase. The TRUADDITIONS team cannot wait to begin realizing these home renovation ideas.

Rancho Cordova, CA Remodeler

High Ceiling Conversion

Removing room echo, improving lighting, AND getting more livable space - that is the power of the high ceiling conversion! 

This home had an open-to-below space above the living room and entry, and the family was wanting additional space. The answer is pretty simple - convert that vertical emptiness into a new room! So we did just that, placing a media room in that previous negative space.

San Marcos, CA Remodeler
San Diego County
High Ceiling Conversion

This project is definitely not a 'traditional' high ceiling conversion. We typically set our sights on spacious open-to-below areas to build new rooms into. These kinds of projects yield great price to additional square footage returns! 

However, this home has a different story. There isn't a massive open-to-below to speak of. In fact, there's only a small opening above the front entryway. Many people wouldn't even consider this space to be worth converting, but they are typically looking for your average bedroom addition. 

What these homeowners needed is an office space - nothing large, but a dedicated area for work, specifically to conduct Zoom meetings. With that in mind, converting that emptiness above the entryway becomes a lot more enticing. 

These kinds of conversions are really where our design videos provide the most benefit. It can be quite tricky to envision this new space without some kind of visual aid. The first thought would be, "will I even be able to fit into this new office?". 

Thanks to this design video, you can see that there's just enough room for a person to comfortably fit in there, and that is all they need!

San Clemente, CA Remodeler
Orange County
High Ceiling Conversion

​Giant, non-vaulted ceiling spaces provide so many possibilities regarding room additions and configurations. This home is spacious, but the family is ever-growing. What better way to address this issue than a room addition? 

This home will be receiving two new rooms with this remodel - an open loft hallway and a new bedroom with a closet! The amount of functional space gained here is absolutely invaluable to these homeowners. The new hallway will serve as a humble study or work environment, as well as an access point for the new bedroom. The new bedroom addresses the primary pain point of these homeowners - lack of livable, private space. 

In collaboration with our architectural design team and our video marketing team, we have produced a video that showcases these home renovation transformations in immaculate photorealism. These images really help sell the experience of what it is like to stand in these new spaces.

Oceanside, CA Remodeler
San Diego County
High Ceiling Conversion

Exciting changes are in this Oceanside home's future! 

That wasted space above the dining room is going to be repurposed into a cozy new open loft! While this family already has a media room downstairs, it has become fairly cramped and busy over time. This new loft space will serve as a second media room. With the existing windows in the high ceiling retained, it will give this new loft a nice overview of their surrounding neighborhood. 

This is invaluable for the homeowners. This added square footage provides this family with two gathering points, which results in both spaces being less crowded. While they do not intend to flip their home, the added space provides extra monetary value should they decide to sell later down the line! 

The downstairs dining room receives positive collateral from this high ceiling conversion as well! The new ceiling below acts as both a sound dampener and a reflective surface. This means that the dining room will have less echo AND be much easier to illuminate. These are key details that can easily fall to the wayside, but are nonetheless important. The functional and monetary gains of both the upstairs and downstairs areas cannot be overstated! 

This project is in the final design stages, with construction beginning soon! The CALOFT team cannot wait to begin bringing these home improvement ideas to life! Click the button below to stay tuned on this home's journey!

Carlsbad, CA Remodeler
San Diego County
High Ceiling Conversion

This project is definitely not a 'traditional' high ceiling conversion. While our first instinct would be to convert the entirety of their vaulted open-to-below space into new rooms, our client had other plans. 

They need more room, but they want to retain their high ceiling. The idea is to expand their existing bedroom - the one closest to the entrance - further out over the entryway below. 

This is definitely a tricky solution, but our expert design team proved it not only possible but preferrable. The existing bedroom is fairly small, so being able to push the wall back further and be able to fit the bed in the nook makes an enormous difference. 

You don't have to take my word for it - just watch the video, where you can watch their existing bedroom nearly double in size, all while in motion! 

We can't wait to begin bringing these brilliant designs to life, and neither can CALOFT.  To follow this home's dramatic remodeling journey, click the button below!

Carlsbad CA Remodeler
San Diego County
High Ceiling Conversion

This home right here is a classic candidate for a high ceiling conversion, which is a special type of remodel that involves filling in a high ceiling with new rooms. 

In this case, this Carlsbad home will be receiving two rooms! The first will be a new open loft over the living room area, replacing the entire open-to-below space with something much more functional and valuable for the family! 

The other new addition is a bedroom, which is replacing the existing exercise room. While this portion isn't exactly a high ceiling conversion, it is still space that is repurposed to better fit the family's needs. Besides, the new open loft provides an excellent entry point for this new bedroom! 

Reading all of this is great, but how about you check out the video instead? You get to see these awe-inspiring changes occur in motion, morphing from the existing home to the proposed changes while moving through the space!

The TRUADDITIONS team is proud to present you their latest completed work in the Rancho Cordova area! This home just got a major upgrade in the form of an OPEN LOFT!

The 360° viewer above documents the entire journey from start to finish:

✅ Before
✅ 3D Design 
✅ After

You don't just get to see the dramatic change - you get to experience it, too! Some people's primary concern is the amount of space gained being minimal with a high ceiling conversion. This is especially true if their high ceiling isn't huge and mansion-like. That being said, this home's open-to-below was more than adequate. It's a straight-forward, non-vaulted ceiling, and access to the new loft space was very simple to figure out. 

The results speak for themselves! This family gained a whole new open loft media room! 

San Jose, CA Remodeling

High Ceiling Conversion

By taking advantage of these 360° images, you can really feel the amount of space that is to be gained in this high ceiling conversion. What is that new floor space going to be used for, you ask? This San Jose, CA home is going to be receiving the following:

✅ Open Loft
✅ Bathroom
✅ Bedroom w/ closet (two design options)

The 3D Design panoramics, in particular, are extremely helpful. Our 360° viewer allows you to explore the new floor space - which isn't even built yet - and see what it is like to stand in there. You get to see how much vertical and horizontal space your new remodel will provide.

In this home's case, there are two design options for their new bedroom - one with a notched wall, and one with the wall pushed back, extending over the stairway. These images will allow you to experience the difference in space gained between the two versions.

We're excited to present you the latest installment of TRULOFT Conversions! 

This Rancho Cordova home turned out absolutely stunning. It's a great example of what we do - convert empty high ceiling space into new rooms. There was no trickery here, and was about as straight-forward as it gets! This is good news for both us and the homeowners, as this means the budget and time to complete this project isn't very high. The result speaks for itself! 

These homeowners were presented with two options for their high ceiling conversion - an open loft or an enclosed bonus room. Our client opted for the former, and we feel this was the wiser choice. Keeping this new space open allows it to truly breathe and feel spacious. 

The experts at TRUADDITIONS really knocked it out of the park with this one. They've once again displayed why they are the retrofitting masters - the new room and floor space matches the existing environment flawlessly. If you didn't know any better, you would think this home already had an open loft built into it.
