How much to raise ceiling - blow out to rafters?

[Matt R.]

I have a single story house with low ceilings/attic space. I was curious for ball park cost on 13 x17 living room ceiling blow out... It does have one ac vent that would goto industrial look. Any guestimates? Vanilla finishing, nothing fancy...just rafters and one AC duct/vent.

Thanks again,

Matt

Hey, just to re-state, if the house is insulated at the ceiling and not directly under the roof, you'll experience significant heat loss/gain by taking out the ceiling. This could expand into a moisture issues as well by introducing a big temperature change at the roof line. I would budget in cost for insulating inside the rafters.

Hope that helps.
