Garage Conversion

Add extra space to your home with a garage conversion!

If you’re looking to add extra living space to your home without totally breaking the bank or descending into the craziness of home renovations, then a garage conversion may just be the solution for you! Converting the garage is one of the cheapest ways to add square footage to your home, as the foundation, walls, roof, and wiring are already in place.

An attached garage is often ideal for large living rooms or even luxury kitchens. A detached garage can be a great in-law apartment or game room. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!

There are several obstacles to overcome when converting your garage, most of which are design choices, such as the garage door. Others are more technical, like potentially having to level the floors. Beyond the process of the conversion, there’s also the value of your home, and the loss of use of the garage to consider. To protect your vehicle from the elements, you could consider building a carport or possibly building a new garage.

An American Housing Survey showed that 80% of Americans have a garage or carport, Nearly 30% of shoppers say that garages are one of the most important features in a home, ahead of an updated kitchen or an open floor plan, according to Realtor.com. However, converting your garage isn’t always going to tank your resale value. A well-done garage conversion can give you up to 80% return on investment. The best way to see this cashback is with good design, but keep in mind that some buyers might still prefer the parking space.
