Q: How long does a garage conversion take?

• <div><p>A garage conversion typically takes between four and eight weeks, depending on the garage&rsquo;s size and the project&rsquo;s complexity. For a detached garage conversion, you may not experience much impact on daily life while it&rsquo;s under construction, whereas an attached garage conversion can disrupt daily life quite significantly, given its proximity to the rest of your living space. </p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable house to build per square foot?

• <div><p>Ranch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-colonial-style-house.htm">colonial-style homes</a> are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average. </p></div>

Q: How can a new garage add value to my home?

• <div><p>Provides additional space and enhances property appeal, potentially increasing resale value.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage considered living space?

• <div><p>In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn&rsquo;t add to the livable square footage of your home when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</p></div>

Sean and company went out of their way to build custom concrete forms that were necessary for the custom raised concrete patio we asked for. They also stayed late to recover from a random turtle walking right through the driveway they had just poured and smoothed. Great work and timely!
