Attic Remodeling CT Lic # HIC 624030
Attics are special. Most of us who grew up in houses with attics tend to retain a fondness for the space. That fondness can take on new dimensions when a family starts having serious growing pains.
Attic conversion is an appealing fantasy. The roof and basic framework for a new room are already in place, so it should be less costly and easier to finish an attic than to add a wing to the house. Yet these advantages can prove to be restrictions unless the original builder planned for later conversion of the attic.
Just to name a few obvious concerns, the attic's floor may not be structurally up to its new job, there may not be enough headroom, and there's probably no electrical service. In most cases, you can overcome these and other deficiencies. The question you need to answer is whether it might be easier (and less expensive) to add to the ground floor instead.
To make that decision, we will have to do a fairly detailed attic survey and carefully analyze the problems we may encounter.
