Raise Ceiling Height

[Cris Z.]

Hello

I am trying to figure out the cost to raise ceiling heights. The attic has a stick structure, and would like to raise the ceiling height from the current 8 feet to approximate 9.5 feet. An architect looked at the house and indicated its definitely possible. I was wondering if I could get an honest estimate from someone here at what the cost would be. An approximation works, and assume full costs (trimming, paint, etc and some work around electrical, ducts, etc). What would be a realistic cost to do this, on a price per square foot basis. A range is fine as well. Not looking for anything extra crazy, but also would like something nice. I appreciate your help!!!!

Thanks a lot, 

Cris
