Deciding on an attic renovation is a big decision. As you mull over a quote and weigh your options, it’s natural to have doubts.
We get it and we’re here to tackle the common reservations shared by homeowners who love the idea of an attic conversion but haven’t quite made the jump yet.
Will an attic renovation be disruptive?
Naturally, yes, an attic conversion will involve some level of disruption, but we strive to keep it at a minimum. Since we mostly work within the roof cavity, much of our work is out of your daily living space. However, access to this area is necessary, so there will be workers moving through part of your home to transport materials. Plus, we will be using power tools up there so there will be some noise to endure.
Timewise, we’ll likely be out of your hair quicker than you think! For our basic storage solutions, we’re typically in and out in a single day. Clean storage attics may require a few days, while deluxe attic rooms could take 4-6 weeks, depending on the complexity and scale of the project.
Is an attic renovation a good investment?
It can be! It depends on what you’re trying to achieve and if your existing roof cavity can be renovated.
Most homes can use their roof cavity for basic storage. This is often a smart choice because storage sheds don’t offer the same convenience as attic storage plus they have ongoing costs. If we look at building an extension, you’re sacrificing your precious yard space; paying to build a new structure, and setting yourself up for the headaches involved when chasing council approval.
To get the most value out of a deluxe attic conversion, you need a decent roof cavity. If the starting space is too small, we’d have to lift the roof to get the head height, and that’s where things can get expensive. However, if you have the space, the world’s your oyster – you can create offices, bedrooms, games rooms, living spaces, and more without consuming extra space or spending as much as with an extension. The best way to know if an attic conversion is right for you is to reach out and chat with us.
Both storage and an attic room are strong selling points and major bonuses for prospective buyers too. So, if you’re planning to sell your home, extra storage can increase the salability and an extra room increases the value.
