Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Garage Conversion?
A garage conversion is the process of transforming an existing garage into a functional living space, such as a bedroom, home office, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU). This typically involves adding insulation, updating electrical and plumbing systems, and installing flooring, windows, and other finishes to make the space comfortable and livable. Garage conversions are a great way to maximize unused space and add value to your property.
How Much Is a Garage Conversion?
The cost of a garage conversion varies depending on factors such as the size of the space, the level of customization, and local construction costs. Converting a garage into a livable space typically requires updates to the structure, insulation, electrical, plumbing, and finishing touches. Working with a professional company like OneStop ADU can help ensure that the project meets your needs and stays within budget.
How Much Does a Garage Conversion Add to House Value?
A garage conversion can increase your home’s value by approximately 10% to 20%, depending on the quality of the conversion, the type of space created, and local market conditions. Conversions into bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms generally offer the highest return on investment, while home offices or playrooms can also boost value, though slightly less. However, it’s important to consider potential downsides, such as losing parking space, especially in areas where off-street parking is limited, as this could reduce the value. Overall, a well-executed garage conversion adds both functional living space and market appeal to your property.
How Long Does a Garage Conversion Take?
The duration of a garage conversion typically ranges from 2 to 3 months, depending on factors such as the complexity of the project, the size of the garage, and local permitting requirements. A simple conversion may take less time, while more detailed conversions with plumbing, electrical work, and custom finishes could extend the timeline. Working with a professional builder like OneStop ADU can help ensure that the project is completed efficiently and on schedule.
What to Do with the Driveway After a Garage Conversion?
After a garage conversion, you may need to rethink the use of your driveway, especially if you lose parking space. Some options include:
Reconfigure the Driveway: You can expand or reconfigure the driveway to accommodate parking for multiple vehicles, especially if your garage was previously the main parking space.
Landscape: If parking isn’t necessary, consider using the space for landscaping or creating a functional outdoor area, like a small garden, seating, or even a patio.
Create Additional Parking: If you need to maintain parking, adding a carport or off-street parking area can provide an alternative.
Working with a professional can help you design the best solution that fits your property and needs.
