Considerations When Remodeling Your Attic

Attic remodeling might help you make the most of this space, especially if you plan thoroughly and select materials wisely. If you’re contemplating what you can do with this space, here are interior remodeling tips and ideas to help you discover the potential of an attic conversion.

Attic Considerations

Age – The age of your home generally determines your options for attic conversion as well as the issues your contractor might discover upon inspection. Older homes are more likely to have problems like structural damage, pest infestation and water-related issues. If your contractor does find issues with your attic or other parts of your home, they would have to be addressed before remodeling your attic.

Lighting – Ensure your attic will be properly illuminated, especially if you’re going to use it as your home office, gym or library. Some attics have small windows, while others have none at all. If this is the situation in your attic, you should consider expanding an existing window or installing new windows or skylights. You may also prefer more artificial lights in the space.

Plumbing – Some homes have a vent stack for plumbing that runs through the attic. Others have plumbing close to the attic floor. People don’t usually repair plumbing unless necessary, so your home’s plumbing could be as old as your home.

Attic Remodeling Ideas

Gym – For many home remodel customers, converting the attic space into a gym is a great idea. However, it will require you to upgrade your HVAC system so that the space won’t heat up too quickly, especially in the summer.

Home office – If you’re working from home, having a separate room where you can focus on your work is ideal. With a home office, you won’t get distracted by household noise while working or in a meeting.

Loft – A loft offers a wide range of options, depending on the shape and size of the attic. You can create a stairway leading up to the room if you have the space.
