Converting Your Garage Into a Room

One of the greatest ways to increase home value is by converting a garage into a room. There are two reasons this happens: 

Square footage increase or garage remodel.  Anytime you remodel your home whether it’s a bathroom, kitchen, or garage remodel you add value to the home. 

Just imagine walking into a garage with concrete flooring, visible beams, that’s hot and humid, and has poor lighting. That’s not a pretty sight. But, imagine walking into a newly remodeled garage with drywall, nice lighting and a nice floor.

The latter garage will definitely add more value to the home!

Garage into Room – Adds Square Footage

When you convert a garage into room, in order to obtain a permit you will need to either add a second garage or a carport. 

If you add a carport, the converted garage has added a lot of square footage to the home. If your option is to add a second garage you can imagine just how much square footage has now been added. All of this adds value to your home.

You can also get a great return on your investment if you rent out the garage for extra income on the side.

Eventually you will pay off your initial investment! If you have college kids coming back home or perhaps elderly parents who need more care, your decision to converting a garage into a room is the perfect solution.

How Much to Convert Garage into Room?

That’s a tough question to answer because it depends on what it is you’re choosing to do.  Adding drywall and some lighting is less expensive than closing off the door, adding a bathroom, adding a carport on top of all the other changes.

An average range for converting a garage into a room is anywhere from $10,000 to $60,000+. 

That’s why it’s important to get an estimate.  Do your research and look for a licensed general contractor in your area.  Verify their license to make sure they’re up to date and legitimate. 

Converting garage into a room is a great investment.

You’ll not only add square footage to your home, but value too.  Also, it’s provides extra space for family or to rent out for extra income.
