Garage conversions

The garage, finally lived in.

A garage conversion turns underused square footage into functional finished space, built with the same planning-first approach we bring to basements.

  • Other living space where the property allows

What the work involves

Structure, systems and finish.

  • Insulation
  • Framing
  • Drywall
  • Flooring
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
  • HVAC
  • Windows & doors
  • Exterior changes

Before you plan

What shapes a garage conversion.

Garages weren't built to be lived in. These factors decide what the finished room can be.

01

Floor & slab

Garage slabs are often sloped and uninsulated, which affects floor height and comfort.

02

Heating & cooling

The space needs to be brought into the home's comfort system, or given its own.

03

The door opening

Replacing the garage door changes the exterior and often the structure.

04

Local requirements

Parking, zoning and permitting rules can affect what's allowed.
