Adding an Attic Bedroom


When my son was a baby, he slept in a crib in our bedroom.  This arrangement was very convenient for me and my husband to feed him and attend to his every need when he was small, but now, as he approaches his third birthday, it is time to give him his own room.  Our house came with unfinished attic space which would be perfect for a small, cozy bedroom.  My husband’s first step was researching home remodeling in Palm Beach.

At first, my husband thought he could undertake this project himself, but he soon realized that he had better hire a professional remodeling contractor.  We wanted the room to be perfect, first and foremost to ensure our son’s safety.   My husband asked around at work and checked out customer reviews.  After interviewing a few people, he finally hired a trustworthy professional.  The contractor that we found is now working within our budget to add insulation, finish the walls, install electrical outlets and air conditioning – just to name a few of his many tasks.  

Our idea is for the finished project to be a relaxing, positive environment for our son to sleep and play.  He will have lots of natural light and every nook and cranny will be filled with his toys.   Our son is really excited about his room and anxiously awaiting for it to be ready.  (So are we, of course.  We’ll finally get some privacy again!)

We are so happy with the timely, expert work our contractor is doing, and my husband isn’t stressed out trying to complete it all himself.  If you are thinking about home remodeling in Palm Beach, be aware that there are many qualified contractors out there, but there are others that aren’t so good.  Do your homework, check references, and you too can get started on your home remodeling project.
