Everything you need to know about garage conversions.

JSN Construction has plenty of garage conversions under our belt. Garage conversion refers to the process of converting an existing garage space into a livable or usable space for other purposes. This is a popular renovation option for homeowners who may have a garage that is not being fully utilized or who need more living space in their home.

This transformation can be a cost-effective way to add living space to a home, as it eliminates the need for new construction or the acquisition of additional land. The space created by a garage conversion can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a home office, a guest room, a playroom, a home gym, or even an additional bedroom or rental unit.

Before beginning a garage conversion project, it is important to research local zoning and building codes to ensure that the conversion is allowed and meets all necessary regulations. It is also important to consider factors such as insulation, heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical wiring.

Some common steps involved in a garage conversion project include removing the garage door and replacing it with a wall, installing flooring, adding insulation and drywall, and installing heating and cooling systems as needed. Depending on the intended use of the space, additional modifications such as installing a bathroom or kitchen may also be necessary.

It is recommended to work with a licensed contractor or architect to ensure that the garage conversion is properly planned and executed.

Additionally, homeowners may want to consider how the conversion will affect the resale value of their home and consult with a professional contractor or real estate agent for guidance.
