If you’ve thought about increasing your living space at home, you’ve probably considered doing an addition or remodeling an existing part of the house. However, attic finishing is an efficient way to maximize space and offers many benefits that homeowners should take into account. Below, TLC Remodeling in Golden Valley, MN, shares a few reasons their clients decided to build up.

Why You Should Consider Attic Finishing

1. Budget-Friendly

Don’t let a smaller budget hold you back from making home improvements. Attic finishing requires little of the permitting and foundational work of additions and similar renovations. You’ll likely spend far less money on this type of space upgrade than if you were to add on an entirely new room on a different floor. After all, you’ll need fewer builders and less of their time, as the basis of this space is already in place. Contractors will adapt previously unfinished walls, install flooring and electrical outlets, and create windows before your new space will be ready to enjoy.

2. Low Impact

Many homeowners don’t have extra horizontal space to use for a home renovation. This shouldn’t be limiting, though, as you could improve your house at the top level. Attic finishing has a low impact, as it doesn’t require a new foundation or take up additional acreage on your land. 

3. Minimal Demolition

Some people avoid renovation and remodeling simply because they don’t want to deal with the mess. During attic finishing, however, there isn’t nearly as much chaos as with full-on additions or renovations. The infrastructure is already there. Your existing walls and roof will play key roles in making this space livable. While it might be necessary to knock out a wall or add a new one, you’ll still experience less of a mess than with most other renovations.
