Do you have a garage that is not being used? Is it an unused space in your home? If so, then you should consider converting it into a living space.


A garage conversion can add value to your property and make it worth more when you are ready to sell. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of a garage conversion as well as how much it costs. We will also provide information on what needs to be done before starting such a project and how long it takes for the average person to complete one.

How Much Does a Garage Conversion Cost?

The cost of a garage conversion depends on the size of your garage and what type of materials you use for construction. Before starting any project like this, make sure that all permits are in order with local authorities. You will also need to decide whether or not you want to work with an architect for design purposes and hire contractors who specialize in these types of conversions.

What Needs to be Done Before Starting a Garage Conversion?

In order to make a garage conversion, you will need to ensure that your property is up-to-date with current safety requirements. This includes having things like electrical wiring and plumbing in compliance with building codes. You may also want to consider adding insulation if it does not already have any before starting the project.

It takes about three months on average for someone who has never done this type of work before to complete a garage conversion from start to finish working at their own pace without rushing through the process, so they do not lose money when hiring contractors or subcontractors. If there are complications, then it can take longer depending on what needs repaired or replaced during construction.

How Long Does It Take to Convert a Garage?

The length of time it takes to convert a garage can vary greatly. It all depends on the amount of work needed and if any permits need to be obtained from the local municipality. Generally speaking, most people will start seeing results after about two weeks into the conversion process. However, depending on what is being done, it may take up to four months to complete everything.

A garage conversion is a great way to add value to your home as well as create extra living space. Not only that but it can also be used as an office or studio space. If you are thinking of doing this type of project, then make sure you do your research first to know what needs to be done.

How much value does a garage conversion add to your home?

The garage is one of the most valuable spaces in any house. If you have an extra room that could be used for storage or to store a car, then converting it into something new like a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom will add up to 20% more value on top of your property’s existing worth! For other conversions such as home office/playroom, there tends to be a 10% added benefit, which still isn’t bad at all when considering how much effort went into making this change happen.

A garage conversion is a great way to add value to your home. This can be done in many ways, but the most popular is creating an extra bedroom with an en-suite or converting it into a living space like an office/playroom.
