In cities where the real property is overpriced and homes are distorted into small lots, garage transformation is an admired choice for homeowners who are looking to enlarge their living space. They can create additional square footage by altering their garage into a lounge or a granny suite.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking to oust your vehicle to make more functional space, keep reading. We put together an umbrella guide so you can easily ponder all details of the project.<\/p>\n

Determine Your Goal<\/h2>\n

Your goal will drive the type of transformation best applicable to your desires.<\/p>\n

Guest Room or In-Law Suite<\/h3>\n

If you want a functional space where guests and in-laws can feel at home, then you\u2019re looking at a significant project in terms of time and expense. You\u2019ll need to install all creature comforts, like plumbing for a bathroom, heating and cooling, insulation, and drywall. For more permanent guests, you can even add a kitchenette.\u00a0 Plumbing will require drainage and will be the most expensive part of the project. The garage door will need to be replaced with a regular exterior door or patio doors. You\u2019ll need to work actively with a contractor to ensure that any renovations blend with the existing exterior.<\/p>\n

Space for Entertaining<\/h3>\n

As compared to a guest room, altering your garage into a secondary living room or a game room is relatively cheap, requiring slight changes. For example, heating and cooling may not be essential if you\u2019re just utilizing the space during mild weather. If you want to stay on a limited budget, all you\u2019ll require is a couch, a TV, and a cable connection. For a more appealing makeover, add paintwork, sufficient lighting, and floor covering (more on that in a moment.)<\/p>\n

Determine Your Budget<\/h3>\n

What is your budget? Depending upon your project\u2019s scope, you can hope to pay somewhere in the range of $5,000 and $25,000. In the case of upgrading to a year-round living space, you may need to work with an architect to draw up plans that follow city construction standards and get building licenses.<\/p>\n

Decide Parking<\/h3>\n

Carefully decide whether you can sacrifice the garage\u2019s parking space. How many vehicles do you have at present and how may that change in the future? Families with teenagers may soon find themselves with too many cars, and too little space.<\/p>\n

Another admonition<\/h3>\n

Will your Strata permit overnight parking in your driveway or on the street? Homeowners associations often have parking restrictions, so be sure to check first with your Strata overlords.<\/p>\n

Parking restrictions, however, won\u2019t rule out a dual-purpose garage. With careful planning and a single car, or a two-car garage can be used for both entertaining and parking, with one half reserved for gaming and the other for stowing your vehicle.<\/p>\n

Start from the Ground Up<\/h3>\n

Regardless of whether you\u2019re making space for an Airbnb, a workshop, or a man cave where you can watch the Big Game, a successful garage transformation begins with the floor. Your garage\u2019s dull grey concrete slab is a canvas on which we can construct an incredible, durable, and slip-resistant floor.<\/p>\n

We use a Polyurea<\/a> base coat. While epoxy becomes brittle, with cracking, chipping, and peeling within just a couple of years after installation, Polyurea bears the toughest conditions while keeping up its attractive appearance. Polyurea is flexible. It can withstand extreme temperatures, hold up under your vehicle’s weight, and is impervious to water, chemicals, and other spills.<\/p>\n

If the toughness was not enough, the design options and alternative plans are endless. We blend and match our flake\u2019s color options for a custom design to make your garage living space your own style statement.<\/p>\n
