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 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: How do different aspects of a garage influence installation expenses?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the size of the garage, material quality, and additional features like lighting or workbenches.</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>

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>

Unknowledgeable about the area, and custom homes. Appraisal was inaccurate and undervalued. Unwilling to review actual comparables and adjust to an appropriate value. Complete waste of money - do not recommend.

Very good service. John explained what needed to be done and why. With an older home and having a fuse box, extra steps were needed.

"Steve redid our coat closet & kitchen pantry, and the experience from start to finish was great. We had a few people come out to provide quotes, and HomeOptions was by far the best value. He was very thorough yet efficient during the quotation visit, sent us what his team drew up super quickly, and locked down a date for install. The installation was also done well, and he is allowed us to have much better utilization of space. We had him come out again to provide a quote for our master bedroom closet, and again, the customer service was wonderful. During both visits, he laid out all suitable options for our space and was never pushy or salesy about anything which is not only appreciated, but also pretty rare for these types of things. He is got a good eye for design, client preferences, & each individual space, and is very easy to communicate & work with. We are very excited to get to work with him again and would recommend him/the company."
