DIY ATTIC TO 4K HOME THEATER RENOVATION | how to remodel an attic.
Today on Modern Builds I'm converting my parent's attic into the ultimate DIY Home Theater / Cinema Room! This was something my dad has wanted to do since they built the house, and I couldn't be more happy to get this project completed for father's day! Turning the attic into a movie room was a big project, but totally worth it! Thanks for watching and I hope this projects helps make a similar renovation less intimidating for you all watching! Thanks for the support! :)

I built a room similar to this above my garage. ( it is disconnected from the upstairs) In my case running ductwork from the existing upstairs heating/cooling unit was not feasible due to the system not being large enough to support the extra space. Luckily, I found an absolute bargain on used portable cooling unit and merged its exhaust onto an existing exhaust line on the other side of the wall ( the pre existing upstairs system) No doubt he probably should have kept the window and used a retractable or a portable projection screen. However, he still has the kitchen area to finish so maybe he could place a portable unit there.

Also, the temperature difference between the indoors and outdoors could create condensation on the inside or outside of the drywall, and moisture can lead to mold.. and you see the issue with that.

@@jakobdaniel2110 I was actually trying to finish the attic space above the garage to convert it into a closet. Mine basically looks like this guy's room with the window at the end. We sent in our plan to the city, and we were told that 1) we need heating and cooling and 2) we need a ton of insulation under the floor since my garage isn't heated. Again, I live in a notoriously heavily coded location, but the total cost would have been close to $30K just for a closet. We decided not to go forward until the stock price goes up a bit more. EDIT: My city also does not allow the electrical wires behind the walls without a metal conduit to run the wires through. All the junction boxes also must be metal.

Attic (noun): "A space or room just below the roof of a building." So yeah, it is an attic.
I don't know where you live, but if it's cold in winter (I guess it is) then you very likely may face problems with water condensing on cold glass behind drywall patch and different lifeforms being born between your window and drywall. Toxic mold to be exact. The window should be ventilated or at least that wall should be painted with paint and/or primer which have very low or zero vapor permeability (thick layer of cheap polymer primer should have pretty low vapor permeability). Otherwise vapor from the air will be able to travel through drywall and condense on the window. I recommend you to check the window from outside from time to time.

you don't put a vapor barrier over kraft faced insulation. The kraft facing is a vapor retarder and putting an additional poly vapor barrier on top of it will trap moisture between the two and cause potential issues. And my guess is they "textured" the walls so they wouldn't need to sand.

Exactly, I help my dad put dry wall sometimes and we always use screws, so seeing them put nails on caught me off guard
I hope no one uses this as a build guide, so many bad techniques. Nails in drywall? Just cover the window? No HVAC? Holy crap.

Now the problem is keyboard not unlike myself will find this on youtube and think this is how to do it. You need HVAC, you need to screw drywall so it doesnt pop years down the road, and never cover a window ffs. Then real contractors like my friends are going to have to put up with people like this trying to nickel and dime, "well I saw it on youtube!". I'm not sure what to think of where this world is heading. You have people that post videos making more than doctors there is a problem with society.

This is flicking awesome and it is the best room I have ever seen. Great work and great video!!
I love your parents' reaction. You need to think something for the curtain behind. Good job. Congratulations.
This is amazing! I wish I was able to build things like this and show what my hard work looks like!
as a very novice woodworker would enjoy seeing a quick video on how you constructed the floating console. This was a very impressive project overall!
Im impressed..How i love to have a theater in the convinient of our own home.. I hope someday i will have all my dreams come true. More power to ur channel.. I admire dude like u..hardworking, creative, artistic, resourceful...awesome job..👍👍👍
Tip: for moving flimsy rolls of carpet, run a 2x4 down the inside of the roll. If needed, use a 2x4 longer than the roll of carpet and knock a 16 penny nail into one end of the board. Now you can drag it up a flight of stairs by yourself and the carpet won't slide off the board.
oh my goodness 👍🏻😀 that’s very beautiful and perfect home theater. This is the attic that very spacious and clean, very modern style attic. No more scary/creepy attics. But there’s one thing that I think would be nice to put window to have natural light that will coming in during the day. I would prefer. Well it’s just my opinion. 🤷🏻♀️

Hobo Bobo actually not really. Because it’s not connected to HVAC it can’t be counted as “living space” or count towards square footage. It’s also probably not up to code because he covered the window, which is unsafe because it blocks both an escape and ventilation when the attic inevitably heats up beyond human tolerance

Defiantly would not have allowed dry wall to be nailed. We stopped that method about 10 years ago as nails can pop. Drywall screws is now the recognised method

Holy cow, holy crap... first the son was amazed, than the father... The best fathersday ever! Your dad is proud of you bro.
I am a home theater junky. It would be so easy to criticize so many things as a snob. (Gear, acoustics, color (light reflection (great answer in vid!!), screen etc)... BUT.... Even with almost 15k of just sound gear in mine (or more..) What makes a difference more than a 5k processor vs a 500 receiver... It's the room presentation. It is so so hard for 99% of people to tell the difference between a $500 sound system and something like I run with thousand just in subs. Yes of course there is a massive difference, but I rarely get to really run my theater at reference levels and socially, cant run it full out and interact with friends (just to much). I have quickly learned that home theater is a really more about the "space" than the gear. The space is what people notice and remember. Loved the detail in the vid. Great result in the end. I would look at doing some acoustic DIY panels in the future with some decent fabric wraps (for color, and maybe with LED strip light back lighting) and diffusers to deal with some of the odd reflective surfaces. Be a cool series. Keep the content coming!!! Loved the floor!! And I think you have me thinking about doing my own carpet replacement....
love the dad videos, right on
That’s the sweetest thing ever. And great project!!
Brooo your shoe game is strong! I WANT THEM ALL!!!!
When you showed us how big 150" is it looked like you were starting a lawn mower. I thought to myself: that is a really portable projector. Anyway, great video.
I have to say my fav part was when your dad saw your work. You can tell he is very proud. ☺️
So cool!!! Not going to lie that window! But it turned out beautiful!!! Great job!!!

I clicked expecting to see how they address that, but I guess this video is useless to me now.
I would recommend you to install acoustic foam to reduce the echo. If you notice in theatere they arr installed textured ceiling and textured back wall to reduce echo and enhance the sound experience. For your case i would install directly a few on the side wall, and few on the back wall behind the couches, and most on the ceiling. You can purchase them on ebay. It might cost you around $150 dollar for this size room but it will be worth it.
You, my friend are an Artisian and a great son! Kudos to you!!!
What an awesome project and gift for your dad 👍🏼
