Creative Attic Renovation adds Value to a Home

Attic renovations are some of the most unique and creative remodeling projects we work with.  Often an attic will need more than just a cosmetic lift.  Because many homes in Madison are older, the attic can also require structural improvements.

This is a great vantage point to understand what goes into an attic remodel. This old house needed a lot of structural repairs and strengthening. We analyze every home to uncover issues that need to be addressed in a renovation.  We don't want to just make the home look good, we want everything to be sound from top to bottom.

After re-framing the floor completely, the walls and ceiling were vented and then sealed in foam insulation. Once the foam was done the rafters were filled with a cellulose insulation which made the new attic warm in the winters and cool in the summer. In addition the old 5 story chimney was removed to create a chase for new heat and AC to run to the attic.

The space is now a comfortable and functional space acting as a guest suite, office and play room. Every home has huge potential for improvements and opportunities to enhance your lifestyle.  We love uncovering these opportunities and bringing them to life.

What's in the Attic?

Many homes here in the Madison area have an upstairs "storage area". It really doesn't take much to transform that space into a cozy, usable living space. Here is a great example of how a space can change and still maintain the hidden storage ares as well. Recessing the furniture is a great way to maintain floor space while keeping the functionality of a favorite piece of furniture. An entertainment center is a popular option as well. Don't forget to measure twice before framing! After the demolition phase, adding electrical improvements and new insulation really add to the function and feel of the new space. You will be amazed at what can be added to your home by remodeling a space like this. Thanks for checking in! Mike
