Garage Conversions
How to convert your garage to anything you want
Convert any garage into a bedroom, den, family room, game room, home office, apartment, gym , Day
Care, or anything else you may want.

The cost of a garage conversion is considerably less than adding a new addition. The walls &
roof already exist along with most of the foundation. You can make the garage look like a normal extension of your
house if you take the time to plan & design it well.
Get rid
of the Garage Conversion Look
I spent 25 years planning & designing garage
conversions & every other type remodel imaginable. I have converted garages into small apartments,
bedrooms, home offices, a barber shop, family rooms & anything else you can think
of.
They all take different planning & design work but any garage can be made to look like
it was part of the original house. If you know how to make the right choices & choose the right
contractor then it becomes even less expensive.
Is your home worth more or less after the conversion?
This seems to be a question many homeowners are concerned with. There are pros & cons of course but I think its
a trade off in values & a win, win situation. You are giving up the garage which will diminish the value
to prospective buyers who insist on having a garage. But, you are also gaining a bedroom, family room,
home office etc which many buyers will insist on having in the house that they buy. The converted room has added
value back to your home & probably more value than the loss of the garage.
Remember, your home is going to increase in value even if you do nothing. In the long run you will
have the enjoyment of the added room plus an increased value in the house. Of course, if you have the
necessary plot size, you or a prospective buyer can always add another garage in the future.
Cost Savings Methods for Garage Conversions
There are two methods to have your attached garage converted to any type of room(s) you
want:
1. Have a general contractor build it for you. If you choose this method you should
know how to do a peliminary design & do some pre-planning . You should know what you are buying.
You should know a method to achieve the lowest cost. The contractor will help you complete
your plan, secure your permits, complete the construction & do all the cleanup. See
below.
2. Do-it yourself Garage Conversions - With this method you may want
to build part of the construction yourself & contract the balance of work or
even contract out 100% of the work. You will do the design & planning, secure your own plans &
permits & then hire the individual contractors. Doing it yourself will save you at least few thousand
dollars but entails more work on your part. Learn more here
Using a General Contractor For Garage Conversions
If you choose method number 1 & have a General Contractor build it for
you then there are things you should do before you call him for an estimate to do the work. I
spent 25 years giving estimates to homeowners & I can tell you they are woefully ill prepared to plan
& negotiate a garage conversion.
Almost all homeowners pay too much for their garage conversions because they are buying a
once in a lifetime item & know very little about the details of what they are buying.
I have written an ebook explaining how to buy your garage conversion at a lower price
& have a better looking conversion than if you did not have this knowledge.
If you want to know what your conversion will cost before you start then there is only one
way to do that. Pre-plan properly before calling any contractor. There is no short cut to finding the true
cost of your conversion. Current cost estimators, price per square foot estimates, averages or any other
estimate will not give you the correct answer. (If you are looking for is an estimate so you can decide what
to do next then look Here to find a contractor)
The book will take you into every aspect of a garage conversion & with this
knowledge I can realistically guarantee you a savings of a minimum of a few thousand dollars. You
will read a method to make sure you negotiate for the lowest price in your area. In addition you
will have a better designed conversion that will add more value to your house.
The ebook comes with a 1 year ironclad 100% guarantee. Either you are satisfied or
your money will be promptly refunded.
