Remodel Your Attic into a Livable Space | Levco Builders

New Found Space

Attic remodeling also called second story development is a wonderful thing to consider. Adding more usable space at a fraction of the cost is like winning the lottery.

We get it, and have done this for others who will sing our praises. One of our signature moves it to do the majority of our work without tromping through your home.

Attic remodeling is a great cost effective way to create extra space as you often dont have the expense of a roof, exterior walls, or foundation that would be incurred with a traditional addition of a second story.

It is not uncommon to create a master suite, home office, or media room in your new found space.

At the beginning stages of your attic remodeling, you can do a few easy inspections to determine if your attic is suitable for a successful remodel. Dont worry we are not expecting you to solve them all, we just like to be on the same sheet of music when we arrive for a look see. First imagine a great comfortable space, often with a view.

A large open stairway is a wonderful thought but is often a difficult thing to fit in. Solving this problem is often challenging but likely solvable.

No one wants to be crouched down or hitting their head in a converted attic. We have several ways to make the best use of space. Dormers are one way, replacing roof framing with trusses or SIP panels is another.

We look at what existing conditions are and evaluate several options. Many of our projects do not affect roofing, as we can harmonize with what you already have if necessary. As far as roof type, the taller the roof the more likely a space can be added within it. (sort of goes without saying)

Fortunately, the roof is close to the natural sunlight. Skylights and solar tubes work well for adding natural lighting. We also find that adding gable windows or eyebrow windows have provided exactly what our clients had in mind.
