Step 1 of 7 · Question 1 of 1

What should the garage become? (required)

A real person responds within 24 hours.

What’s included

This is the work itself, item by item. If your job does not need one of these, it is not on your estimate.

  • Zoning and parking check

    We confirm what your municipality allows before you spend money on drawings.

  • Floor build-up and insulation

    The slab is insulated and brought up so the finished floor is level with the house and not cold.

  • Wall and ceiling insulation

    Uninsulated garage walls and ceiling brought up to the Code level for living space.

  • Closing the garage door opening

    The opening framed, insulated, and finished with a window, wall or entry door.

  • Electrical and heating

    Proper circuits and lighting by our electrical partner, and heat extended or added.

  • Moisture and drainage

    Grading at the old door opening corrected so water runs away from the new room.

  • Drywall, trim and flooring

    Board, tape, paint, baseboard, doors and a finished floor.

  • Permit and inspections

    Converting a garage to living space is permit work; we file and see it through.

How it runs

Every job we take on follows the same sequence, from the first call to the walkthrough.

  1. Tell us about the garage

    Attached or detached, size, and what the space is going to be used for.

  2. We call you back

    Within 24 hours, with the zoning and parking questions that decide feasibility.

  3. Site visit and written estimate

    We measure, check the slab, walls and services, and quote in writing.

  4. Drawings and permit

    Drawings prepared and the permit application filed and tracked.

  5. Framing, rough-in and insulation

    The door opening closed, floor built up, services roughed in, insulation installed and inspected.

  6. Drywall and finishes

    Board, tape, paint, flooring, trim and doors.

  7. Final inspection and walkthrough

    Final approval, a walkthrough with you, and the deficiency list completed.

That is the whole job. Tell us about yours and we will price it — a real person calls you back within 24 hours.
