Basement & Attic
Creating new living space within your home is a rewarding adventure. Whether you need more room to accommodate a growing family, to entertain, or to set up a home office, your attic or basement offers space. Putting vacant space to use requires decisions about function, style, materials, construction, and furnishings. Planning is a key element in the project.
A finished basement can be used for purposes that might not be practical for anywhere else in your home. A finished basement can become one of the main activity areas of the home. Depending on the available space the basement can be finished and used for a variety of purposes to best suit the homeowner's needs. You can use this extra space for a playroom for your children, a library, or a office. You can also add a full bathroom in the basement for guests. If you use it for a bar or wine cellar the basement can offer a cooler environment due to the temperature compared to the rest of the house.
One of the most overlooked areas of a home is the attic. Attics are full or architectural novelty. Vaulted ceilings and framing often create cozy, inviting spaces. The finished and remodeled attic can create more living space and open up spaces you already have. Besides creating more space indoors, opening up the attic to high ceilings will also make room for the addition of large windows, which will bring more natural light into your home. You can also use the attic as an extra bedroom if the ceiling wall is tall enough. Playrooms for children are a perfect fit for attic remodeling. Attic playrooms provide a nice safe place for children to get away and to do their own thing.
