Is there a better way of increasing the value of your Virginia home than simply utilizing the space that's already there? A garage or attic conversion provides the extra space you've always wanted to create. Whether it's an extra bedroom, family room, home office, home theater, or that one-of-a-kind gym, Home Sweet Home Improvements can create it for you.
One concern of Virginia homeowners is heating and cooling an attic space.
Insulation and moisture barriers can drastically help to control an attic's
temperature. In addition, balancing the home's heating and air conditioning
system with ductwork dampers can improve temperature stability in the attic.
Because heat rises, heating an attic is not as much as a problem as keeping it
cool. With a properly balanced system, homeowners should notice no more than a
temperature difference of a few degrees in the attic even on a hot summer day.
Additional windows will also help as will a continuous ridge vent on the roof.
One way of completely controlling an attic's temperature is with a separate
heating and cooling system.
