Add a shed roof dormer to create an attic bedroom for one of the most beneficial additions. Figure dormer additions at $80 to $120 a square foot, usually a total of between $5,000 and $20,000, depending on the size and roof style. Remodeling magazine pegs an attic bedroom addition at about $49,000, but determines it will add 80 percent of that in value.
Generally, my personal experience in New Jersey is that to add a Cape Cod (dormer addition with 2 bedrooms (about 11' x 16' and 14' x 14') and an 8' x 10' tile bathroom with shower over tub to a Cape Cod house costs at least $80,000, or about $175 per square foot.
