Garage Remodeling & Conversion
Conversions to living space, home offices, gyms and workshops.
Get A Free QuoteTurn a classic space into living square footage.
A garage is often the largest under-used room in the house. Converting it is the fastest way to add heated, finished living space, because the slab, the walls and the roof are already there.
We handle the whole conversion: insulation, flooring, lighting and ventilation, plus the structural changes for windows, doors and openings, from the first design consultation through to completion and code sign-off.

Frequently Asked
Garage questions
Yes. Converting a garage into habitable space changes the use of the room and requires permits for framing, insulation, electrical and mechanical work. We file and track them for you.
Converted space that is properly permitted and finished to the standard of the rest of the house generally adds value. Unpermitted work usually does the opposite when you come to sell.
In a two-car garage, yes. Partial conversions that keep one bay for parking and finish the other are common and often the easiest to permit.
