Create New Attic Living Space When you need to add more living space but don’t want to commit to building an addition, sometimes an attic can be the perfect candidate for a transition.

The task is best left to a professional, especially if it requires the installation of new electricity or water pipes.

Get your plan together before contacting a service to determine how you want to reinvigorate the space. Many people prefer to use the attic as an additional EHGURRP DQ RŹFH RU HYHQ D hangout spot. It’s important to FKHFN ZLWK \RXU ORFDO RŹFLDOV about building permits as their unique regulations may require licensing.

Once you get the legalities out of the way, use these tips for a smooth renovation.

BUILDING A SUBFLOOR Your home’s attic was likely built to add storage for items like boxes, suitcases or trunks.

However, to create a safe area, an expert can cut boards of the same length and nail them to the existing joints to create a durable structure.

HEATING AND AIR When planning an attic renovation, it’s important to include plans on heating and cooling the new room. If you want it to be included in your

current system’s ductwork, hiring a professional HVAC technician is the best way to ensure it is UHURXWHG SURSHUO\ DQG HŹFLHQWO\ If you want to forgo the expense of redirecting air into your attic, you can get by with the assistance of a window unit in the summer and by using space heaters during cooler temperatures. Make sure to keep nearby items away from the additional heating tool as the The National Fire Protection Association blamed them for RI DOO KRPH ÀUHV EHWZHHQ 2012 and 2016.

FINISHING THE ATTIC In addition to covering your QHZO\ EXLOW à RRU \RX¡OO KDYH WR decide a wall cover too.
