A message that books
"Hi Sarah! The first step is a feasibility visit to check headroom, floor structure and stair options. Then you'll know exactly what your attic can become."
Where to start
Offer paid feasibility visits and post a before-and-after of an attic project.
Common mistakes
Promising a bedroom without checking headroom, weak floors and forgetting egress.
Following up
Attic conversions are big decisions. After the feasibility visit, send a short report with photos, options and a price range. Follow up in a week to answer questions from both decision makers.

Frequently asked questions
Can any attic be converted into a bedroom?
No. Headroom, floor structure, stair access, egress and insulation must meet code. Many attics need structural work or can only become storage or bonus space.
