But look around a wine shop and you'll see something funny: Many commercial wines are shipped - and often stored in the merchant's back room - in cardboard cases of 12 bottles turned upside down with the cork on the bottom.
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.
What should be included: Additional costs: 1  To add a dormer, a hole is cut in the roof, the dormer frame is erected, then it's roofed, waterproofed and finished to match the rest of the house. 2  A dormer can be built in place piece by piece, or it can be framed on the ground and lifted into place. Larger dormers are often the centerpiece of an attic conversion project. 2  Remodeling Magazine estimates that the average cost for a complete attic conversion with a 15-foot dormer plus bathroom (including finishing the interior) averages $40,800-$58,900 nationwide.
