Project Summary
Our client wanted to remodel their existing space to create a useable office area.
The pain points:
- Outdated paneling darkened the room and the space felt confined
- The staircase overhead was tight and difficult to maneuver for adults
- Needed to increase space for office use
The solution:
- Removal of the paneling, Adding new insulation, drywall, and flooring with a light shade of paint brightened up and modernized the space
- Raised the ceiling above the staircase and created a balcony wall to allow ease of use, increase air flow and create a more open concept

Attic Conversion: Average Timeline & Cost
For a similar size project, the average timeline generally ranges from 4 - 8 weeks,
and the average investment $15-25k.
Thinking about converting your attic into more living space?
Converting a room means bringing everything up to same building code requirements as the rest of your home. Some attics simply aren't tall or wide enough to accomplish this, ensuring an average adult can walk around the room comfortably and uninhibited.
For consideration, if your existing floor is a few plywood sheets laid over 2x6s, it'll need to be retrofitted in order to soundly support a proper load. Height clearance is also important - exposed rafters mean insulation and additional layers e.g. drywall, will need to be installed.
Both of these will decrease your overall space. It's best to ensure you have at least 100 square feet of space to work with, and at least 7.5 feet of vertical clearance for the majority of the room.
