Should I go up or out and what is the difference?
Needing more bedrooms and bathrooms are typical needs for renovating an attic, leaving the main floor to be reconfigured for difference uses such as an office space, master on the main, or just expanding the family room. Going up to the attic space typically can cost more than pushing out the back. It impacts the existing roofline, and typically requires a new set of stairs to land on the main floor, especially if there are not permanent stairs in place. The new stairs usually set in motion reconfiguring some of the main floor as well. Blending this new space to work well with the overall current design of the house is typically the most challenging to make it work well and blend. There are several ways to achieve this seamless look and will depend on the style of the home as well as how much square footage is being added. Oftentimes the roofline itself dictates some of the wall angles and overhangs giving character to living space.
