We are looking to build up our undeveloped attic space (approx. 800 sq ft). Currently it is only rafters with access through a hole in the ceiling. Attic height is approximately 7 ft at peak and we believe slope is 45 degrees.
House was built in 1920 and is currently 2 stories (basement and 1st floor). We would like to add up to 3 bedroom and up to 2 washrooms - depending on cost and what is possible. Roof shingles would need to be replaced in a few years but is currently in acceptable condition.
List of work to be done :
- plans/design for new layout
- permits for work to be complete (if required)
- stairs leading to developed space
- dormers, replace remaining roof shingles
- plumbing/electrical
- framing for new rooms/drywall
- quote for finishing washrooms, but may not be included in project (we are considering doing that ourselves)
An attic of a duplex in kits has old/insufficient insulation and some "exposed wires". Access to attic is by a hatch and fold-down steps. Also, the roof may be as old as 1907 and needs to be assessed (from inside).
I'm also curious about:
- better insulating the walls/etc of the townhouse
- developing the attic
Thanks for any indication, or offer of a visit/estimate that you can provide.
The attic is not used as living space, entry is directly above where an old stair case went into the basement, that opening is now closed and above is the entry to attic. we need a standard stair case installed into attic, flooring, drywall, small window or opening skylight'
This space will be used as a third bedroom so electical is needed and according to the last contractor all wiring is ready to go, however we would not know if this is indeed the case, also a sink and tolit could be incorporated dependant on cost, at least a pedastol sink would be great......
I am wanting to finish the stairwell going up to my attic as well as putting in the framework at the top of the stairs to build three walls around the top of the stairwell that enters the attic, enclosing the stairwell. The stairwell has been stripped of all plaster and lathing down to the studs. The framework to build the two walls on each side of the stairwell measure approx. 6' long and 4' tall but tapers down to 3' following the slant of the roof. The third wall would be at the back of the stairwell joining the two side walls measuring approx. 3' x 3'. There would also need to be a bit of framing at the top of the stairwell between the walls for a small ceiling. Once the framework has been built then I would like the stairwell as well as the walls gyproced with 1/2 inch gyproc. I am guessing it would take approx. 11 sheets of gyproc. Finally, the gyproc would need to be filled and sanded. I can do the painting. I am also the owner. So, need someone who can frame, gyproc and finish the gyproc to the painting stage.
older house (1960"s?) very large, corner lot, previous kitchen reno and addition on main floor. basement is more ground level than true basement but with low ceilings (6 and 1/2 ft?). currently basement is one bedroom suite and we would like to make it a three bedroom. kitchen on main was remodeled in late 80's and needs upgrade.
We are doing a small kitchen renovation, and are relocating our stove to the adjacent wall. This wall shown in the images requires a bulkhead similar to the one on the adjacent wall so that we can run our stove venting through it. The bulkhead will be approximately 8' long, but we will provide you with the exact dimensions.
I have an existing carport that was built in the last 50 yrs, post and bean construction on a concrete pad, plate is bolted to the concrete wall.
It seems that hand man seems to have enclosed the carport in a hasty fashion! The roof has been leaking for some time, and the walls are flimsy and need to be replaced as well. There is some wood rot that would need to go!
The garage door is not working properly, and it would need to be replaced.
There will be electrical power available to the garage, but at present there are no fixtures or switches.
I have a roofer who will do a "torch on" roof when the carport/garage has be repaired and restored to proper form.
I am looking for a carpenter to repair and rebuild this structure.
I am interested in getting a cat door installed between my basement and main floor. The basement stair was blocked off years ago by someone in an attempt to make an illegal suite so the only entrance to the basement is from outside. It is not used as a secondary suite and the soundproofing and space requirements do not make this plausible.
