Q&A | Home Builders : Cost estimate of attic conversion

Title of Question: Cost estimate of attic conversion
 


Name:Mike  City: Charlotte, NC
Question: We have searched the net and can't seem to find a range of what this might cost per square foot. We realize the cost will vary, but there has to be a range out there. We will need stairs to be built going up, it will be 36 x 16 or so, 1 big room plus a full bath. High pitch roof - 14' in the middle. 2-4 skylights are planned, but could be 2 dormers. An additional HVAC unit and electric ciruit will be needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer: Here is a link to a survey by Remodeling magazine. It focuses on the cost versus resale value of home improvement projects, but it should give you an idea. The area is smaller than you are considering, but it includes a bathroom, dormer and four windows. I hope this helps. Obviously, another thought is to start interviewing contractors and getting some numbers from your area, whether you plan to hire out or not. http://www.realtor.org/rmomag.NSF/p-ages/feature1dec05_attic?OpenDocument-

Answer: I suggest going to your most trusted contractor and asking him to come over to your house and give it a look. Your more likely to get a good (that is, close-to-accurate) estimate this way. <a href=http://www.roseremodeling.com> Home Addition Plans </a> <a href=http://www.roseremode-ling.com/services.html>- Interior Painting </a>
