I just read this article and browsed your pictures – love your ideas! My mother lives in a ranch-style home in Silver Spring, MD. It’s way too much space for her, but her hair salon is on the side of the home, so she is tied to it. My husband and I were thinking of taking over the home and transforming the 2-car garage and above attic into an inlaw suite for her (bedroom up and living space downstairs). The structure is there, but it needs everything from plumbing, heating/cooling etc… Is this the type of project you would help with?

A.W. – Thanks for your confidence. I’ve done home improvement consulting long-distance on several occasions. It does, however, put a responsibility on you to provide pictures and information that I would normally get for myself if I was local. I’m also unfamiliar with California’s building codes and how they differ from the nationally accepted IRC codes.

I’ll email directly and we can discuss it further.

I have a 4 unit appt bldg with about 4000 sq ft. Attic is super huge, and wanting to convert the apt into 2 story. Unfortunately, half of the attic has low eaves making it unusable for expansion according to a foreman, giving only 40% more space instead of 80%.
I really like some of the ideas you have. I am based in northern cal and was wondering if you could do some consultation over the phone. Have some property in so cal as well. Really impressed with your articles. Thanks

Ms. Braitman,
I saw this artile online while reading up on attic conversions. Great discussion of key issues. We are in the process of purchasing a home in Washington DC. It currently has a finished attic room. However, access is thru dropdown attic stairs from the center hallway w/no other egress. There is a modest size skylight. We are tentatively looking at making it a useable bedroom for a 13year old boy. Would this size project be of interest to you? Thanks,

Jenifer
