Your Questions About Attic Finishing

How do I know if my attic can be finished?

We’ll assess your attic’s structure to determine if it’s suitable for finishing. Key factors include ceiling height, access, and the strength of the floor joists. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure your attic doesn’t have trusses.

Trusses are structural framing designed to carry the roof load, and modifying them requires engineering to maintain the roof’s structural integrity. During our consultation, we’ll walk you through the possibilities and help you understand what can be done with your unique space.

Can you finish all types of attics?

We can work with a variety of attic types, though some may require more preparation than others. Our team will evaluate your attic’s layout and offer recommendations for how to make the most of the space you have.

Is a finished attic considered a story?

In most cases, a finished attic isn’t counted as an additional story, but this can vary by local building codes. We’ll guide you through any relevant regulations to make sure your project is compliant.

What needs to be done to finish my attic?

Finishing an attic typically involves adding insulation, drywall, flooring, and electrical work. Before we start, you’ll also need a letter from an engineer stating that your attic can support a “live load” or be considered a habitable space.

We’ll also need to ensure there’s an egress or window for escape in case of emergency. We’ll handle all the necessary permits, structural checks, and every step to make sure your attic is safe, comfortable, and up to code.

Does a finished attic need to be vented?

Proper ventilation is crucial in a finished attic to prevent moisture buildup and maintain air quality. We can install vents or work with existing ventilation to ensure your attic remains comfortable and safe.

What is a ballpark pricing for attic finishing per square foot?

The average price for attic finishing is around $250 per square foot, and it depends on factors like access, structural modifications, and finishes. We’ll provide a detailed estimate tailored to your specific needs during our consultation.

★★★★★ 5/5

I highly recommend using Enhanced Renovations for your home remodeling projects. Richard, Colin and Paul are punctual, efficient, great communicators and real gentlemen. They are good to their word and if they say they will get it done they will get it done.

Last Spring I rang up Richard while 3 months pregnant and asked him to finish my attic, add a dormer and remodel our media room over the summer before the baby was born. A pretty tall ask on its own considering that summer is not the ideal time for an attic remodel. I then thew in adding an additional bathroom to the attic last minute making it an even taller ask but Richard agreed and accepted the challenge.

Colin did a fantastic job with scheduling and managing the various teams of sub-contactors. The sub-contactors themselves were all top quality, personable guys. It was a pretty tough build in terms of the timelines I put on the team plus various curveballs around HOA approvals and permits but they persevered and got it done in time for the baby’s arrival!

We are very impressed with the quality of the build, both rooms, the dormer and the bathroom are beautifully finished. They managed to design a really functional and attractive attic suite which was really impressive when considering how oddly shaped our attic was, with stairs and plumbing in non-optimal positions.

In summary, Enhanced Renovations took on a design and timeline challenge for us and got it done on time and delivered exceptional quality. Would 100% recommend!

★★★★★ 5/5

Enhanced Renovations have completed a couple of home improvement projects for us. One was a robust and architecturally pleasing enclosure around our extensive pool equipment pad.

The other was creating a finished room in our walk up attic. Both jobs exceeded our expectations. I can tell you of the many contractors we have hired over the last 10 years for various improvements and home needs, Richard and his crew(s) are by far the most professional and competent people in every trade needed for your job.

What you agree to is done to exacting standards. It’s refreshing just knowing you are in good hands with this company.

I will use Enhanced Renovations for any upcoming projects at our home.
