Is it a good idea to turn a garage into a bedroom?

• <div><p>If you're planning to sell your home in the future, buyers have mixed feelings about converted garages. Some people may prefer to have a usable garage instead of an extra bedroom. However, this project could be beneficial for you if you're in need of extra living space. As you weigh the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-cons-of-insulating-garage.htm">pros and cons of insulating a garage</a>, consider getting a quote for a bedroom addition before you begin a garage conversion to see if adding more square footage could be a better option. </p></div>

Q: What is the best type of wood for overhead garage storage?

• <div><p>We recommend plywood and solid wood. Particleboard and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are often too weak to hold significant loads, and could sag or deform under pressure. Plywood or solid wood are meant to last, and can handle the weight of several large items. If you want to spend a little more for a moisture-resistant material, you can consider using steel.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to turn a garage into a workshop?

• <div><p>On average, the cost to transform your garage into a workshop is about <b>$2,000</b>. The overall project cost depends on the type of workshop you want to build and its size. Regardless of the type of workshop, you&rsquo;ll still need basic workshop spaces and equipment such as a workbench, cabinets, and space for storage and for working.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to replace a garage floor?

• <div><p>Resurfacing a garage floor takes about eight hours on average, with another couple hours over three days to do the epoxy. Epoxy goes on in three coats, with each coat taking 24 hours to dry and cure. You&rsquo;ll need to keep foot and vehicle traffic off of your garage floor for around 4 days in total when replacing your garage floor, so be sure to plan ahead before you start. This is a great time to organize your garage since you&rsquo;ll need to move everything out to apply the epoxy.</p></div>

Q: What is the percentage of contractor profit?

• <div><p>Most contractors aim for about a 20% profit on a job, leaving themselves room for unexpected expenses or delays. After accounting for materials, labor, and insurance, the profit margin for most contractors is between 10% and 20%. Fluctuating costs of materials and labor affect the ultimate percentage.</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.
