Does adding a garage apartment add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, a garage apartment is generally considered a valuable asset as long as the new structure has been legally built. It's important to weigh the cost to build a garage with an apartment against the<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-conversions-add-valuable-living-space.htm"> cost to convert a garage to living space</a> if you already have a garage.</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 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>

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: How do I maintain a remodeled garage?

• <div><p>Keep the space clean, maintain storage systems, and promptly address any water leaks or insulation issues.</p></div>
