New living space through loft conversion?
In many houses, the roof structure is hardly used at all or is only used as storage space. However additional living space can often be gained through a loft conversion. If you are planning to expand your roof, there are a few things to consider. On the one hand, the aspects of fire and noise protection must be taken into account, and on the other hand, building permits are often required to expand your roof. In our carpentry shop in New York, we would be happy to advise you on these topics.
Roof conversion by a professional
What do you have to consider when converting a roof?
If you plan to expand your roof, the main things you need to worry about are sound and heat insulation as well as fire protection. Many roof trusses are not insulated at all or are only very poorly insulated. However, the law requires modern insulation for loft conversions. That’s why your roof needs to be re-insulated when you expand it. Depending on the structural requirements, insulation between rafters, insulation under rafters, or a mixture of both options can be used. We would be happy to advise you on this in our carpentry workshop.

The properties of the roof
Special constructions such as dormers naturally increase the costs of the roof structure. Other factors include insulation, roofing, and skylights. Strictly speaking, they are not part of the roof structure, but they represent a major cost item for the entire roof. Especially if the attic is to be expanded, you shouldn’t skimp on insulation.
Remove the roof structure
Having the roof truss expanded offers unique options for interior design: whether loft style, visible beams, or simply a larger, open space.
While with a normal attic, you don’t have to worry too much about heating, electricity, insulation, and beautiful cladding, the whole thing is a big issue when expanding the roof structure. If you just can’t shake the dream of a large, open attic space, our expert Local Law 11 Contractor NYC shows you here what costs you can expect when you expand your roof structure.
