NEW FOR 2026-2027 IN CARLSBAD CA REMODELING
High ceiling conversion remodel in Carlsbad CA - North San Diego County
Nothing creates more valuable square footage through new living space in your Carlsbad CA home than a high ceiling remodel. Certainly, there enough space in this high-volume ceiling space to make several rooms such as a bedroom and a bathroom and even an additional family gather space on the second floor. In neighboring Oceanside CA we are adding a new second floor laundry room overhead. So you can let your imagination flow and dream of the type of new room you would like our expert general contractor to build for you. Our average construction time is 3 weeks, but this one is a little larger and has fire sprinklers so we're going to estimate the final construction will be four weeks instead.

High Ceiling Conversions
The majority of our high ceiling conversions entail building a room addition over their open-to-below space. This, however, is going to be a little bit different. Some homeowners don't necessarily need a whole new room, but would rather expand an existing bedroom, which is the scope of this remodel.
The bedroom closest to the front entrance of the home is the lucky contestant today - we will be expanding it over the high ceiling space above the entryway. While this can be quite a tricky renovation, our expert designer managed to pull it off. The result - pushing the existing wall in the bedroom further out, creating much more breathing room!
This project is in the final design stages. Check out the video below to see this major home improvement in motion! Stay tuned, as the CALOFT team will begin constructing this dream home very shortly!

As previously mentioned, this remodel is quite tricky. It doesn't appear obvious at first that this kind of expansion is possible, or even desirable. This is a big reason we invest so much time into our videos. As we move you through this space, it should become immediately obvious that this kind of renovation is absolutely desirable! The bedroom is really cramped, and being able to push the wall out further really allows the whole space to breathe.
This kind of expansion serves as an excellent compromise. This family gets to keep their high ceiling above the living room, while still gaining more livable space - not to mention this option being much more budget friendly!

CARLSBAD CA BEFORE & AFTER SHOTS
Remodeler Carlsbad CA
This high ceiling conversion will be over the entire living room and dining room areas. The new upper room is being designed to be an enclosed art studio for the homeowner.
North San Diego County has an experienced contractor that builds room additions in a fraction of the time quoted by others. How is this possible and is it true? Promises, promises right? Getting a quote for three to four weeks of construction time is not a normal time frame for a room addition, unless you talk to Truplans Inc and their CALOFT construction partners for Carlsbad CA remodeling. It is true that even this efficient type of room conversion should take less time than a tradition room addition. The how can it be built so quickly? The answer is because unlike general contractors that routinely take every different type of job under the sun from sun rooms, decks, room additions, kitchen remodels, garage conversions and more, CALOFT stays on focus turning high ceilings into new rooms. When you do something hundreds and hundreds of times each decade you get really good at it.
CALOFT is a full service builder, but they have a discipline like no other. While some remodeling contractors Carlsbad CA have done a few loft additions here and there, CALOFT has been building this unique niche for longer that the planning company (Truplans Inc) has been around. We met in 2004 and they've been focused on this unique remodel even before we knew them. That's how you develop your skills and systems to outpace everyone else.

Carlsbad Remodeling Video
BEFORE & AFTER ROOM REMODELING TRANSITIONS
Not only did we remodel the vacant space overhead into a new room addition, but we took the opportunity to remodel the room below by designing an exceptional raised coffer (reverse tray) ceiling. This helps keep the ceiling higher than normal while adding a new enclosed bonus room above. This home could have been converted to any type of room desired, but this homeowner desired a home art studio. Take a look at the normalized ceiling heights on the first floor as well as the special architectural tray ceiling design over the living room and dining room spaces. Engineered as two different floor systems this results in a beautiful ceiling design while maintaining structural strength and floor system integrity.

The CALOFT Partnership
a TRULOFT partnership corporation One of the most sought after general contractors in Carlsbad CA is the high ceiling conversion experts Aaron Hernandez and Luis Salcido of CALOFT loft additions. Truplans Inc has been working in the same office with this duo for over 22 years since 2004. They are known for their humble professionalism and cleanliness in the front end of the project and their perfection and amazing results in the final product. They go above and beyond in their structural floor system craftmanship which is covered by an unprecedented written warranty matched by no one else in our industry. Some may try to mimic or plagiarize their promise, but don't have the real workforce to deliver the same results at their level of expertise. While others send employees to do the loft crafting skill set TRUPLANS sends the owners of the custom building company, CALOFT. We're not too upset that others try to copy them, after all plagiarism is the best form of compliment. They are, by far, the best Carlsbad general contracting remodeler we know period and second place is not even in our universe.
