Ryan L. says, "I hired Renovate Max to renovate my Menlo Park home after they were recommended to me by a close friend. I interviewed several contractors and hired Ali because he was willing to commit to an aggressive schedule and completion date with competitive price, no small task given the work involved. I was, and still am, thrilled with the high quality of the work that was done. Ali and his wonderful crew even worked late on Christmas Eve & New Year to make sure that my new kitchen was ship-shape and ready for me to host Christmas dinner. I always recommend Ali Erfan to my clients because of the many positive experiences that I have had with him, both on my own home and those of others. His attention to detail, willingness to collaborate, excellent team and careful accounting practices make him a pleasure to work with. " Read more

Your attic remodel questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does it cost to finish or remodel an attic?

The cost to finish an attic is $50 to $150 per square foot on average, depending on the purpose of the finished space and the level of finishing or remodeling involved. Converting an attic to a habitable living space costs the most—anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on the size and scope of the remodel. Finishing an attic for better storage is the cheapest, starting at around $5,000, since the space is not subject to so many building code requirements.

Can you finish any type of attic?

No. You can finish some types of attics, but not all types. Some attics present major structural challenges, and some are simply not large enough to satisfy all the building code requirements to convert the attic to a living space.

  • An attic with roof truss framing does not usually have enough space or structural integrity to be finished unless you completely reframe the roof. This makes the project much more costly.
  • An attic with a pull-down hatch entrance cannot be converted to a code-compliant living space without installing permanent stairs connecting to the first floor. If you live in a very small home, a staircase may take up too much of a footprint on the first floor.
  • Some attics are too small to finish to code, regardless of the roof framing. Many attics have sloped ceilings, and building codes require at least 50% of a room with sloped ceilings to have 7-foot ceiling height.

Does finishing an attic increase home value and square footage?

Finishing an attic increases a home's value when converting the attic to a habitable living space that counts as additional square footage. Including a bathroom in the finished attic tends to have the highest return on investment. Basic finishing that simply improves the attic storage space will not increase resale value, but this extra feature may still add perceived value for potential buyers.

How long does it take to finish an attic?

Finishing an attic takes 4 to 8+ weeks, depending on the project scope. Converting the attic into a living space with a primary bedroom and bathroom will take much longer than a simple finishing job to create a playroom, office, bonus room, or improved storage space.

Do I need a permit to finish my attic?

You may need a permit to finish your attic, depending on what type of finished space you're creating. Projects that involve any changes to the home's structure, electrical wiring, plumbing, or ventilation require a permit. Contact your local permitting authorities to determine the requirements for your specific project.

How do I choose an attic remodeling company near me?

Follow these guidelines to help you choose an attic remodeling contractor near you:

  • Compare 3 to 5 attic finishing estimates with similar details.
  • Confirm the business is licensed, insured, and bonded.
  • Look for a firm or contractor specializing in attic finishing and remodeling.
  • Look for companies with positive reviews on HomeGuide and Google
  • Ask for references and a portfolio with pictures of similar projects.
  • Require a detailed contract and warranty in writing before the work begins.
  • Avoid large upfront payments, and only pay the final bill after the newly finished attic has passed all necessary inspections.

What questions should I ask when getting estimates for attic finishing?

Finishing your attic may involve major structural changes to your home. Consider asking these questions to help you select the best attic finishing contractor or firm near you:

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
  • How long have you been working in this area?
  • What experience do you have with attic finishing and remodeling?
  • Will my home need any structural work to be able to finish the attic?
  • What does your estimate include?
  • What additional costs might come up during the construction?
  • How long will it take to finish the attic?
  • Can I stay in the home during the project?
  • What permits do I need, and do you handle the permitting process?
  • Do you guarantee your work?

I hired LeCut Construction to remodel my mother's home since she has trouble communicating in English. I worked with Guy from the start to finish and was impressed with the level of communication from Guy as well as how they stuck to the timeline for the project. They make the process pretty easy by providing you with a design person to work with before the project begins to make sure everyone is on the same page about materials and design (if you don't already have one) and Guy was very flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process. The project turned out great and they made every effort to make sure we were satisfied with the outcome.

Build the Bay completed a bathroom remodel for me - I was really pleased with the outcome and the process. Communication: Eitan and his team were communicative and ready to answer any questions I had. They explained the schedule and process in the beginning and throughout the project they shared updates & explanations. I felt well supported throughout. Build Quality: The work Eitan and his team completed sas great. There’s an attention to detail and cleanliness in the finished product that is exactly what I was looking for. For example, walls in any house are not perfectly even and corners are not perfect 90 degrees - Eitan’s team recognized these issues in my bathroom and adjusted the work so that the end result looked perfect (even if the underlying walls weren’t). 
When it came to things like tile design, Eitan gave attention to every inch so that the overall look was even & sophisticated. Timeliness: Eitan was willing to work with the schedule we had - it was summer so we had some time away and some last minute changes, but he was super reasonable & flexible. It was one less thing to stress about, which I appreciated. AND the project finished on time. Overall: I would definitely use Build the Bay again! We’re looking to kick off some larger projects in the future and I’ll go directly to Eitan for that work.

Fern with Bella Homes did a phenomenal job of our attic remodeling project. It was a complex construction project that involved reinforcing the foundation, replacing stud walls with shear walls, building a staircase, and fully converting the attic to a habitable space with a bathroom and a patio. Fern’s communication was stellar and he kept us updated on the project status. He was on top of any issues that arose and addressed them timely. Fern is a perfectionist and supervised the project with a sharp eye for the details. His crew is very experienced and executes very well. Fern managed the city inspections in a professional manner and we passed all of them with no rework! With a project as involved as ours, Fern was quite flexible in accommodating our input. He offered great advice on interior decoration decisions ranging from picking interior/exterior color of the house to setting up the fireplace with a distressed mantlepiece. Fern ensured that the layout, flow, and appearance of the house were in harmony and ultimately delivered the project to our utmost satisfaction.
