Garage Conversions
Converting a garage is one of the easiest ways of getting extra space in your home, without adding an entire room. By taking care of waterproofing, opening up windows and bringing up a wall, you can convert your garage into a bedroom or family room. Remember, that a garage conversion will include electric and plumbing work, and installation of heating and cooling systems. You can also create additional storage space to continue using your garage to hold seasonal items and materials, household and gardening tools etc.
A garage conversion allows you to create extra space at a cost that's much lower than making an addition to the house. You already have a room, and with some creativity and planning, you can easily convert your garage into livable spaces, like a family room or a bedroom. The focus should be on having a livable space that looks like an integral part of the house. This means that your garage conversion must include heating and air conditioning, new electrical fittings and additional plumbing, if necessary. If you are planning to convert your garage into your bedroom, an attached bath is a must. If you have a double garage, you can even consider portioning off the space, so that the front part of the garage functions as your carport, while the rear comprises your living space.
Look into local Long Beach, CA area building code requirements before you begin your garage addition project. You may not always be able to convert your garage for a specific purpose. Make sure all building permits are in place before you begin converting your garage. Plan your garage addition at least the few months before work begins to ensure a hassle free project.
