Question 1

Is it a good idea to turn a garage into a bedroom?

Accepted Answer

•

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 pros and cons of insulating a garage, 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.

Question 3

What other projects should I do at the same time as packing up to move?

Accepted Answer

•

When packing up to move, you should consider donating items to charity and purging as many unused or unwanted belongings as possible. It may seem time-consuming, but you’ll thank yourself later when you’ve saved money because you didn’t need the largest moving truck and fewer boxes.

Question 4

What is the least expensive way to convert a garage to a living space?

Accepted Answer

•

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’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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

•

The average cost to convert a garage to a living space is about $16,180. 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.
