How Can D&L Builders Help You Convert Your Garage?

Due to life changes, many homeowners often find themselves in need of more space. Adding on to your home is a solution but one that can get expensive. Due to its affordability, many homeowners are now turning towards garage conversions. 

What is a Garage Conversion?

A garage conversion is the process of transforming your garage into something different from what it was. Typically, garages contain open spaces for parking cars or for storing items. This open format gives homeowners a space to add anything from a bedroom, family room, studio, gym, etc. 

How Affordable is a Garage Conversion?

Renovating your home requires specific permits and guidelines that vary depending on the extent of the work.

Examples

For example, constructing another bedroom or studio may require the need to route electricity and/or water lines so specific permits will be required for this job. Depending on the location of the home, constructing a new addition can cost anywhere from $25-80k. A garage conversion doesn’t typically require extensive work such as a new foundation or a retrofit. Therefore, garage conversions can cost an average of $15-20k. However, if your garage conversion involves electric and/or water line changes, you’ll be paying a lot more. 

Additional Benefits to Garage Conversions

Due to the added living space, a garage conversion can help increase the value of your property. 

Increase your ROI

According to HomeAdvisor, converting garage space to living space can give homeowners an ROI of up to 80%. However, in order to achieve a positive ROI for the new space during appraisal, it is important to consider the quality of work involved. A professionally converted garage can create appeal while a poorly done conversion can have a negative effect. Be sure to keep an eye on the aesthetics by making sure the walls, flooring, lighting, and paint flow with the rest of your home.

Whole Home Remodel Project

Home remodeling is an increasingly popular option for homeowners, with many deciding to update their kitchen, bathroom, flooring or add additions. While the costs and benefits will vary from property to property, the general advice is not to spend more than a quarter of your budget on your home remodel. The most important factor in determining how much you should spend on home improvements is not how large your budget is but what kind of return you expect for that investment. This may be calculated as an ROI (return on investment), or how much money you are able to save over a period of time by doing repairs now rather than later.
