[quote=Anonymous]We are doing this exact finish of our attic OP. We've gotten quotes anywhere from $45-$75,000. There is some question about the stairs as they don't fit current code but two of the 3 contractors said that they'd be 'grandfathered' in. We are lucky that the floor is a lovely old pine that is in amazing shape so that may influence our pricing if you don't have a floor already and we have a slate roof so the new 'shed dormer' will cost a bit more even if they are able to re-use existing. What we are dealing with now is how much this work will effect rest of house. We may have to heavy up our electrical as we will need to add in a second HVAC system and to tie in the plumbing for attic bath we may have to mess with bathrooms below that we redid two years ago. Our house is 85yo and very well built but we wonder if we should just sell, move to another house as we are wondering about the can of worms we'll open once this work begins.[/quote]
