Price structure when remodeling an attic

As you can see, we at Contractor Amsterdam try to keep costs affordable. In most cases this succeeds thanks to our good teamwork, excellent agreements with suppliers and investment in our own materials, tools and machinery. How the total cost of a loft conversion is built up, we explain to you here.

The materials needed for the attic conversion determine about 40% of the total amount of your attic conversion, think about the wood or plastic, the dormer, materials for finishing, etc. About 20% of the cost is for the purchase and installation of insulation. We highly recommend having your attic insulated during an attic conversion. If there is no staircase to the attic, installing it is about 12% of the total cost. Is there already a staircase to the attic and is it in good condition? Then this work (and cost) will be dropped. The total cost for finishing during and after the attic conversion is about 30% of the total amount.

Pricing factors attic remodeling

The extent of your attic renovation depends on the current situation of your attic, your wishes and of course the budget for your attic renovation. The cost of an attic conversion can vary enormously from one situation to another, but the guiding factor is your wishes and the work that needs to be done.

Here you can read which choices regarding attic conversion affect the final total price you pay for your attic conversion.

Dormer or skylight

Lack of light in the attic is a common problem. This can be solved by having a skylight installed, such as a plastic pivot window. Is lack of space in your attic a problem? Then it is smarter to opt for a dormer window, besides light it also creates space.

To have a roof insulated or not?

Is your roof not yet insulated and are you having your attic remodeled? Then we strongly recommend insulating your roof during the renovation. This way you kill two birds with one stone and you will benefit your energy bill in the long run.

Install drywall or open space?

Depending on your needs for your attic conversion, you may need to have a drywall installed. Do you wish to divide the attic into multiple rooms? Then this choice is obvious.

Additional options

Living comfort is increasingly important these days. To make the best use of your attic, you can choose several additional options.

These additional options do make your attic remodel more pricey and are considered an upgrade to your attic.
