Q: What makes a garage count as living space?

• <div><p>For a garage to count as living space&mdash;and towards your home&rsquo;s total square footage&mdash;it needs to be attached to the rest of your home and have permanent finishings such as proper insulation, finished walls and ceilings, and adequate ventilation. It also needs to be livable at all times of the year, so it should be heated if it gets cold in the winter and cooled for hot summers.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to convert a carport into a garage?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-convert-carport-garage.htm">cost to convert a carport into a garage</a> averages about<b> $22,000</b>, ranging from about <b>$15,000 and $55,000</b>. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:</p><ul><li><p>Add insulation: $1 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Add drywall: $1&ndash;$3 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Add window: $450&ndash;$2,000 per window</p></li><li><p>Add outlets: $75&ndash;$500</p></li><li><p>Add garage door: $250&ndash;$11,200</p></li><li><p>Enclose framing: $5&ndash;$13 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Replace roofing: $1,000&ndash;$2,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does it take to convert a garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can expect a garage conversion project to take an average of between two and four months. Your timeline can vary, though, and it could take six months or longer if you need to run utilities to a detached garage, make structural changes to the building, or carry out foundation and structural repairs before the conversion begins.</p></div>

Avoid! Cannon Pricket is not reliable or honest. After nine months of having our $10k deposit, he did not complete our barn project. We are still waiting to receive the remainder ($3000) of our deposit back after cancelling due to his lack of communication and zero reliability. It’s a shame...

We were not impressed. We decided not to use this builder. Not a custom builder. They wouldn't make changes to house plans, not even for a price. Also beware everything is a "up grade".
