To be considered livable space, an attic can add value only if it meets height requirements. Building regulations require:

  • A ceiling height that must be at least 7 feet for 50% of the room.

A dormer attic expands extra space and natural light, but it can impact the cost significantly. Adding a dormer typically costs $10,000 – $30,000, depending on:

  • Structural modifications – Requires a structural engineer to ensure support.
  • Roof changes – Adjusting the attic ceiling for more headroom.
  • Finishes and insulation – Increases conversion cost.


  • Basic attic remodels: 4-6 weeks.
  • Attic bedroom with a bathroom: 6-10 weeks.

Your attic joists must be strong enough to turn your attic into a livable space. A structural engineer can determine if reinforcement is needed before starting renovations.


  • Dormer windows – Adds height and natural light.
  • Skylights – Great for a larger attic space.
  • Glass-paneled doors – Helps light travel through the new space.

  • Built-in storage space – Custom shelves and cabinets.
  • Under-eave storage – Uses sloped walls efficiently.
  • Multi-functional furniture – Doubles as storage and seating.

  • If it’s time to sell, an attic remodel can add value to your home before listing. Otherwise, if you need extra space for family, work, or guests, an attic remodel can improve comfort and functionality.


Absolutely! Before finishing an attic, speak to your contractor to:

  • Review costs involved in your remodeling project.
  • Ensure your attic meets local building codes.
  • Discuss design options for a comfortable living space.
