Do you have a garage space that you’re not using for your car? You may want to consider turning your garage into a bedroom. Many homeowners consider garage conversion to free up extra space in their house. The team at Cavalier Builders has some tips on turning your garage into a bedroom.

Things to Consider Before You Begin

If you’re considering garage conversion for an extra bedroom or rental room, there are a few things to consider before you begin. Plumbing, wiring, heating, and flooring are just a few areas you’ll need to research before you begin. Take some time and calculate the costs. Many remodeling contractors help you estimate costs and offer ideas on the best use of your space.

Some homeowners worry about permits and zoning regulations. Certain states, like California,  require garage conversion to meet specific standards. Our team of experts will do a home evaluation for you and make sure your space meets the requirements. 

Benefits of Garage Conversion

Adds An Extra Living Space

Rising living costs today keep people from purchasing or even rental homes. As families grow, many people are looking for more affordable options. Converting your garage into a bedroom frees up space in your home without moving to a bigger location. Depending on the size of your garage, you can even make some adjustments on your own. 

Increases Your Property Value

Extra living spaces are very attractive to potential buyers. People love extra living spaces because they can use them in different ways. Even if you don’t plan on using your garage for a bedroom, converting it into one is beneficial. Turning your garage into a bedroom may raise your selling value in the future. 

Brings In More Income

Converting your garage into a bedroom not only increases your property value but it can add extra income. Many homeowners consider renting out their space for extra income. It’s a good idea to calculate your conversion costs and weigh them against your potential rental price. This will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you. 

Opportunity to Try Something New

Have you ever wanted to install new curtains or flooring throughout your home? Perhaps it was just too time-consuming and expensive to install in your entire house. Intern design is always changing, and trying something new can seem risky. 

Testing  your ideas in a small space like a garage is the perfect way to try something new. Not to mention, it’s more affordable in a smaller area. 

Including Utilities

Utility installation is another concern for people when considering garage conversion. Thinking about wiring, piping, and drainage can seem stressful. The good news is that these things are not very difficult. If you’re only converting your garage into a bedroom, the cost and time are minimal. An experienced remodeling contractor can help you work out the details and put your mind at ease. 

Time and Costs

Most garage conversions do not take a long time. The costs depend on what you’re adding to your space. It’s best to know as many details as you can begin converting. Hiring a remodeling contractor can help you plan your project and quickly complete it.
