We are Dome Right Home Remodeling and are a home improvement company in Gilroy CA. We are into general home remodeling and also look to convert idle unused spaces into cozy residential units. Let us discuss the garage conversion and you may have a question. Where I will park the vehicle? It could be in the driveway or if the need is felt, one can get a carport constructed within the property. Once this aspect has been settled, one of the first issues will be to check the existing garage and see if it is structurally fit for the conversion. If there is any unsanctioned work it must be corrected according to the recent codes. There is now the scope to do a proper conversion and here are four ideas, which you can ponder over.
Living space is getting scarcer in the state of California and you can have the garage converted into a cozy master bedroom. The main building was perhaps constructed a long time back and the space was allocated based on the needs of that era. There have been more headcount amid the family members and that has created a space crunch in the main building. If you convert this space into a residential unit someone in the family can shift here. This way despite more members in the family today all of you can stay together and no one will have to shift elsewhere on rent.
After the conversion, it is no more your garage and now it is a cozy residential suite. There is now the scope to generate rental income from this space. The designs should be slightly different if you intend to rent out this space. If you insist on deriving rental income, there will be a need to plan the designs, layout of this space after considering privacy. A tenant will also want some luxury features and there will be a need to incorporate them. There will also be a need to make sure that this newly constructed residential unit has direct access to the street.
There could be people staying overnight at your place. The person can be a guest or a caregiver. In the case of a caregiver, the stay might be for quite some time because she is here to provide care to some member of the family, who has fallen ill. The person will not recoup in a day and for the duration, it would be proper, if you allocate a separate private space to the caregiver. This new residential unit created by transforming the garage can be allocated to her.
This part of the home can be used as office space. We are still amid the pandemic and the corporate world is constantly extending the schedule for remote working. The main building is never ideal for work because there may be plenty of noise. You will want peace, sanity at the workplace and it could be the converted garage space. If you are self-employed this can be your office even in a post-pandemic world. You need not have to pay the rentals at the commercial complexes and this place can run efficiently as a nice office.
These are four ideas of how you can convert the garage space into something more useful. It can be a multifunctional area and there is plenty, which you can do with this space. It can be even converted into a gym. If you give permission, we would initiate every measure to execute the conversion. We will look into everything from the permits to the closure and it should be smooth for you.
