First and foremost, if your attic is filled with roof trusses that impede on headroom, then finishing your attic is not possible, at least without not having to replace the roof. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If on the other hand there are only a few trusses used in a portion of the attic you can work around them in your finished attic design plans. Never cut a roof truss without first seeking the advice of a professional structural engineer. Cutting even a single member of a roof truss could severely weaken the integrity of the roof and could lead to an eventual roof collapse.<\/span><br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 468x60_below_Author_Name --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 468px; height: 60px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\" data-ad-slot=\"5936342260\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Second, examine the attic flooring, or ceiling joists from the lower level. Often the lower level ceiling joists are not adequate in size to support the weight and use of a finished living space. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Again, work with an architect or structural engineer to determine if your attic floor joists (lower level ceiling joists) are adequate for finishing an attic.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5235 \" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Attic_Conversion_1.jpg\" alt=\"How to finish an attic.\" width=\"255\" height=\"191\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Often the solution to undersized attic floor joists is to sister larger lumber to the existing joists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The third major concern when planning to finish an attic involves potentially moving heating and air conditioning equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Often HVAC equipment is located in the attic. In some cases it may not be easily moved. If you have HVAC equipment in your attic check with an HVAC contractor to see what your options are for relocating or replacing it.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Insulation is also another major concern when finishing an attic. Attics can be extremely hot during the summer months and just as cold during the winter ones. Consequently it is vital when finishing an attic to have plenty of insulation installed, and installed correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The next item on the \u201chow to finish an attic\u201d planning checklist is lighting. Make sure to include in your attic conversion budget funds for the installation of natural lighting, e.g. via skylights, the installation of windows on the gable ends of the attic space, or the inclusion of a dormer(s) with a window(s).<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"50%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/attic-conversion-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5090\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Attic-Conversion-Bid-Sheet-Cover-1-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"Attic Conversion Bid Sheet\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Attic-Conversion-Bid-Sheet-Cover-1-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Attic-Conversion-Bid-Sheet-Cover-1.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, make sure to include copious amounts of electrical lighting, particularly if natural lighting is not available in your attic conversion budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lastly, prior to the start of finishing your attic make sure to check with your local building inspector to fully understand all of the rules and building codes for finishing an attic, and to pull the appropriate permits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To obtain a building permit you\u2019ll need to show the building inspector a copy of your finished attic plans, along with projected materials and overall project costs. In particular, the building inspector will want to see framing and cross-sectional structural drawings of the attic to ensure your finished attic design plans are safe and to code.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b><span style=\"color: #008000;\">For help on Attic Conversion and Attic Renovation Projects<\/span><\/b>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/attic-conversion-bid-sheet\/\">Attic Conversion Bid Sheet<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.
