Q: How much does it cost to convert a garage to a living space?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-conversions-add-valuable-living-space.htm">cost to convert a garage to a living space</a> is about <b>$16,180</b>. The final price tag depends on the amount of work needed, the types of finishes you choose, and your location. What you want to do with the converted garage also impacts the price. For example, installing a kitchen or bedroom in a garage will cost more than converting the space into a home office or rec room.</p></div>

Q: Can garages be designed to match the home's existing style?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals offer design services that ensure cohesive appearances.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</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>
