First sentence: Finishing off your attic space may not only provide another office, bedroom or bathroom, it could add square footage that will significantly increase the value of your home. Your attic is essentially an existing addition already roughed in under the roof of your house, which can potentially become new living space. Unlike new additions, which can involve heavy costs for construction of just the rough-in alone, attics can be finished for a minimal investment of time and money. You can also recover your investment if you sell your house, as long as you invest less than the equity gained from the added square footage.  For this reason, you may want to evaluate the potential of your attic and the amount of work involved before making an investment.
Description: This book provides useful tips for evaluating attic space and planning an attic project.
