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.
When you plan your garage addition, make sure you have a clear picture of what you want to use your garage for. For instance, if you're looking to convert your garage into a home theater, expect additional expenses on electrical wiring to support the new system. If you're converting your garage into a kitchen, plumbing and electrical fixtures will be needed. A garage kitchen addition will involve the installation of heavy duty appliances like deep freezers, and these may demand additional wiring requirements. Always remember to include a small storage closet in your garage to be used for storage.
Some areas require special building permits before you begin garage conversion. For instance, if you convert your garage to a bedroom, you may need to install an emergency exit as per local Saint Louis, MO area building codes. If your garage conversion leads to defects in the drainage system of your property, you may need additional work done to handle this. Extra permits will also be needed. Some areas will need permits to replace the garage door with the window. Make sure that all permits are in place before you begin your garage conversion remodel.
