Can adding plumbing to my detached garage or shed increase property value?

• <div><p>Adding plumbing to a detached garage or shed can increase the value of your house, especially if the garage is properly insulated, conditioned, and finished so that it can serve as additional living space—as a rental property, for guests, or as an in-law suite. However, it’s unlikely that the cost to add plumbing to a detached garage will increase the property value enough to recoup your investment (and don’t forget: you’ll likely see increased property taxes after the renovation). </p></div>

Q: What costs are involved in garage remodeling?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the scope of work, materials, permits, and labor. Common estimates range from $5,000 to $15,000 for substantial remodels.</p></div>

Q: Do you need permission to convert your garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>Yes, you&rsquo;ll need to get building permits from your local municipality to convert your garage to an ADU. You can get the work covered under a remodeling or general construction permit, which can include permission to run or extend utilities to the space to make it legal. If you also plan on renting the space, you&rsquo;ll need to apply for a rental permit.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </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>

they came in the home like they were on fire and ran around like a chicken with their head cut off. They began the pressure check by cutting my main water line and tapping in to it. From there they shut off my furnace to listen for air leaks. Never told me or turned it back on. They continued...

Provider was only at my home for 10-15 minutes. It did not go well. First of all his body odor was terrible; almost made me sick to my stomach! It was at the end of the work day so I assume he had been working all day but he smelled worse than one day at work. My guess is he had not...
