Q: Do I need an architect for a garage conversion?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don't need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. Your garage conversion contractor should have the skills and experience to help create your desired design. However, if the scope of the conversion is large and complex, and your budget allows, it's smart to hire an architect to oversee the design.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Is converting a garage into a living space worth it?

• <div><p>Converting a garage into a living space may be worth it, provided you follow all local codes and get the necessary permits. The conversion may increase the value of your home in the long run. In the short term, it will give you valuable space and help you enjoy your home even more.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of adding a room above my garage?

• <div><p>A new space over the garage offers several upsides, including added living space, more storage space, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-additions-add-value.htm">boosted home value from the addition</a>. If you create an attached ADU with the space, you could secure more privacy for you and any guests you have, or even some rental income if you rent the area. However, there are some drawbacks to consider, too, including the high up-front cost, the potential need to increase structural integrity, and size restrictions since garages are smaller than an entire floor of your home.</p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive way to convert a garage to a living space?

• <div><p>The least expensive way to convert a garage to a living space is to perform as much of the work yourself as possible, using materials you can acquire at discount prices, and avoiding making structural changes to the building. While you can&rsquo;t control what type of garage already exists on your property, converting a detached garage to living space will cost 20% to 30% more, so going with an attached garage conversion will save quite a bit.</p></div>

We have used Fillo Painting for several years. We use them both for our investment properties as well as our personal home. They are great painters but have expanded into other areas of construction and have performed well for us there too. I would highly recommend them.
