Types of Garage Conversions 

Simply said, your garage can be anything you want it to be. That means you can have a home gym without giving up your home office, or you can host your guests in a cozy room instead of on a pull-out couch — the list of possibilities goes on and on.

Need some inspiration? Here are just a few ideas to jump-start your garage conversion:

  • Home office: Tired of working in your bedroom, or worse, in a high-traffic area like the kitchen? We can convert your garage into a peaceful, comfortable home office that inspires your most productive self.
  • Accessory dwelling unit (ADU): Your garage might be perfect as an ADU for guests, teens or maybe even tenants. We can add everything you need to convert your garage into a functional living space, including a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom area and HVAC system.
  • Recreational space: How do you and the kids like to spend free time at home? Whether you enjoy watching movies, playing pool, or heck, climbing rock walls, we won’t judge. It’s all possible with a custom garage conversion.
  • Home gym: Why bother driving to the gym when you can have one at home? Let’s convert your garage into a gym that motivates you day after day.
  • Pool house: Save yourself that trip to Tahiti and transform your garage into a tranquil pool house. If your garage is located next to your pool, it could be the ideal spot for lounging and keeping an eye on the kids.
  • Studio or workshop: Wish you had more space to nurture your creative side? Whether you want to get the band back together or enjoy your own dedicated artist’s studio, your garage can be a place of inspiration.

Benefits of a Converted Garage 

Converting your garage has a ton of potential benefits, including:

  • Additional living space: Who couldn’t use extra space in the Philly area? A garage conversion allows you to easily create the space you need, whether your family’s growing or your teenage kids are begging for more independence.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Garage conversions typically cost less than adding a new living space. That’s because the structure is already there, so you can adapt it to your needs with fewer materials and labor costs.
  • Personalization: You can turn your garage into anything you desire, even a home for your personal collection of whatever strikes your fancy.

FAQs

For some homeowners, a downside of a garage conversion could be the loss of a parking space or two. If you’re worried about losing a parking spot for your car, you might be able to do a partial conversion if you have a two- or three-car garage. Building on top of your garage might also be possible, so you can still park your car below. No matter what, we’re happy to explore all the possibilities with you.

There are a few things to consider to determine if a garage conversion is right for you, like your parking space requirements, the structural integrity of your garage, and if it’s big enough for your vision. That said, even if your garage doesn’t currently meet the requirements to be turned into a living space, there’s still hope! It might just need some work and a little creativity before the conversion begins. We’ll evaluate your garage and listen to your vision before we start the journey and let you know what’s possible.

Yes — a permit is generally required to convert your garage into a room or any living space. If you plan to use your garage as an ADU, additional rules and regulations will likely apply. We’ll handle all the administrative stuff so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
