Garage Conversions
If you have an existing carport, you can greatly benefit from a carport to garage conversion that allows you to have additional space, besides being used to park your car. A garage conversion can also give you a brand new family room, home theater, an extra living room or bed room, home office or any other use you can think of. An ideal situation would be one where the front part of the garage could house your vehicle, while the rest of the garage is turned into a living space.
Your garage conversion plan should include co ordination with the rest of the house. For instance, if you are replacing the garage door with a window, make sure it blends in with the other windows of the house. The point is to make it look like it's an integral part of the house. When it comes to interiors however, you can let your imagination run wild. Ask your garage contractor about upgrades to be made to the roof and walls. If you have a flat roof, you may need to upgrade it before you invest in converting the garage into a livable space.
Before beginning your garage addition project, make sure you have all necessary Phoenix, AZ area building permits in place. Some areas may not allow garages to be used for certain purposes. If there are emergency exit requirements, these will have to be met too. Take care of such legal or structural formalities before you begin your garage conversion project.

My parents and my family are interested in renovating my parents house to accomadate a mother-daughter setup. It is a cape style house, dormored, but we would like to raise the entire roof, making a full upstairs (3 bedrooms and 2 baths). Also , my mom had added a family room to her existing house (originally a 2 bed one bath cape) and we wanted to extend that family room to accomadate a living space for them (1 bedroom, 1 office a kitchenette and handicapped accesible bath) We'd love to have an estimate on this project. Thanks. Mailing address is Somerville, but we are located in Readington Township. |
