Understanding the Attic Renovation Process

Assessment and Design Consultation

  • Lighting: Recessed fixtures, pendant lights, or track lighting
  • Storage solutions: Built-in cabinets or custom shelving units

Types of Attic Renovations

Dormer Additions

Dormer additions are popular choices for expanding attic space. We create these structural extensions that project from the roof, adding headroom and floor space. Dormers come in various styles like gable, shed, and eyebrow.

Loft Conversions

Loft conversions transform attics into open, multifunctional spaces. We remove non-load-bearing walls to create an airy feel. Exposed beams and sloped ceilings add character to these renovations.

Built-In Storage Solutions

Built-in storage solutions make the most of attic space. We design custom shelving, cabinets, and drawers that fit perfectly under eaves and in odd corners. These maximize storage while maintaining a clean look.

Navigating Challenges in Attic Renovation

Attic spaces often have complex structural elements that need assessment. We evaluate load-bearing walls, roof trusses, and floor joists to ensure they can support the new living space. In older SF homes, we may need to reinforce existing structures or add support beams.

Structural Considerations

Proper insulation and ventilation are crucial for attic comfort and energy efficiency. We assess the existing insulation and often recommend upgrading to modern materials with higher R-values. This helps regulate temperature and reduce energy costs in SF's varied climate.
