Perhaps an expansion to a defined living space would solve a changing living situation. How can this be accomplished without altering your home's basic footprint? How can you go about this without a costly addition? Maybe it's time to look under the hood, so to speak, for a solution that is right under your existing homes roof line.
How about pushing a certain room's perimeter out into your existing unused attic space to create attic remodeling? You can expand a small child's bedroom space to create a play or activity room. Storage needs can be met by taking in part of the attic to create a closet or other additional storage area. Entertainment areas can be created without taking square footage out of the living space once the equipment is installed beyond the existing inner wall line into the attic space.
How you accomplish adding this additional square footage can be quite easy if you obtain the advice of a qualified building professional. Any reputable residential building contractor can give you direction for such a task so that your roof's structural integrity is not put in jeopardy. You must not under any circumstance interrupt the structural balance of your roof. Not only could you cause a structural failure of the roof itself but other areas of your home could be affected by this interruption in stability.
Structurally you may need to add headers or beams or just maybe a few additional purlin braces can be added to carry the new roof load. If headroom is a problem a dormer addition changing the existing roof line can be constructed. You can cover this new dormer area with either a shed or gable type roof which will be dictated by the elevation of your home so that it blends and matches. By all means, if you don't know if what you're about to do is structurally sound in judgement and support don't be afraid to ask a professional.
