Garage Conversions
If you are looking to add an extra bedroom or a spare kitchen to your home, converting your garage to a bedroom or kitchen can be an easy way to have extra living space. Limited space means that you may not be able to have a large room, but you can still easily convert your garage to a family room by installing partitions to separate the carport from the living space, installing heating, cooling and plumbing systems. Install a new phone extension, and you now have a fully functional family room that's warm, bright and welcoming.
Having a designated storage area in your garage conversion will enable you to have extra space for storage, as well as a family room or home gym. If you have the luxury of space, consider multiple uses for your converted garage. For instance, if you plan to convert your garage into a room for socializing, you will also need to install an extra bathroom, a bar area and an entertainment center. A room like this can also easily double as a family room. Chalk out your garage addition plans to meet your needs perfectly. An extra bedroom will always need an attached bath, so allow for additional plumbing expenses. A home cinema will need extensive rewiring of the garage. A larger kitchen will need heavy duty appliances, like a freezer and therefore, may need additional wiring.
Before beginning your garage addition project, make sure you have all necessary New York, NY 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.

Hello. I am trying to find out how much it would cost to convert my 3rd bedroom into a single car (attached) garage. It was once a garage but was converted into a third bedroom so it is built to be a garage in the first place. I think all it would be is ripping down the front and putting in the track and door. Please email me with cost and time estimates.
