Attic Design & Renovation
Renovating your attic can be a superb way to increase your living space. Let GoodFellas Construction create a bonus space that suits your style, your budget and your needs.
Some possibilities include:
• a spacious loft space for entertaining, gaming and other activities
• an additional bedroom (or even two)
• a state-of-the-art home office
The possibilities are virtually endless when you’re thinking about converting an underutilized space such as an attic, which usually provides a good deal of square footage to work with.
Some people think of an attic, they think dark and dingy. Let us change that perception once and for all. We can convert your attic into an open-air space complete with vaulted ceilings and even windows, if you choose.
Experience Matters
Keep in mind that there are parameters exclusive to attics to which contractors and designers should adhere. For instance, the general rule is that the usable space in the attic begins where all of the walls reach five feet in height: that’s something to think about as you’re planning out your renovated space. That doesn’t mean, however, that we can’t raise the roof—literally. We are very capable of converting your existing roof to a new style.
We will also work with you to determine whether you should consider building a staircase or a ladder to access the attic space. There are specific dimensions that are necessary on the main floor to run a straight set of stairs up to the attic, and there are restrictions on when a ladder may substitute for stairs. We will work with you to find a configuration—be it straight or turning, like a spiral staircase—that is ideal for your needs and your style. Additionally, we will address whether the roof joists above the attic may need to be upgraded to support the weight of additional insulation.
It is issues like these that you need to think about when you’re considering renovations to an attic. GoodFellas Construction is here to answer your questions and address your concerns.
We are a certified remodeler through the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, and we offer a three-year guarantee on all of our work.
Together, let’s design and build a beautiful and functional space that you are proud to integrate into the main living space of your home.
Both sue and I really appreciate the extra effort you folks have done to make sure we are happy.
