Why a garage conversion is the best type of home conversion

The most efficient approach to increasing the square feet of your home

If you're considering converting your garage into a livable space, you're not alone. Adu garage conversions are becoming increasingly popular in the Woodlands TX and all over the country. There are a number of reasons why people are choosing to convert their garages into living spaces, but the most common reasons are space and affordability.

When you convert your garage into a livable space, you're essentially adding an extra room to your home without having to pay for new construction or remodeling. And because the cost of converting a garage is much lower than the cost of adding an addition to your home, it's a great option for people who are on a budget. Contact our team today, so we can discuss how we can convert your garage into a functional ADU.

  • Show Answer Garage conversion ADUs are age-friendly
  • Another reason why homeowners decide to do a garage conversion is to get additional income by renting the newly converted garage. Doing so can be a great and easy approach to getting extra rental income for your family. This is quite a reasonable tactic, especially in the Woodlands Area, since more often than not the residential areas here do not offer studio or one-bedroom housing options at all.
  • There are 2 types of ADUs - attached and de-attached from the house. The more energy-efficient one, logically is the attached type, since you already have at least one common wall between the ADU and your main home, which reduces the heat loss.

    With garage conversion ADUs(typically attached to the main home) things are even better since most likely you would be able to hook the heating/cooling to your existing HVAC/heating and cooling system.
  • Since you already would have the garage structure in place, you won't need to spend any of your budget on new construction, which typically bumps the total cost quite a lot. The foundation, walls, and roofing would already be in place. Also, most likely you would have existing piping and electricity in the garage, which would further reduce the end price.

    Our team would basically complete a one-room remodel, which typically takes way less time to do in comparison to building a room addition from scratch. In a nutshell - garage conversion costs the least, and takes only a fraction of the time.

What our team will take care of when we start your Garage Conversion?

Although the easiest option when it comes to building ADUs, a garage conversion typically includes quite a few steps, that have to be planned and done properly to ensure proper accessibility and usability. In order to get a good idea of what the team at Partners in Renovation can offer to homeowners who plan such an ADU project, below we will outline the most important things we would take care of.

Remodeling & Renovation

Remodeling & Renovation

A good remodel should fit seamlessly with the things you already enjoy about your current home, so our dedicated team will guide you through your options to ensure that your vision is fully realized in the final product of your garage conversion. We'll ask lots of questions to make sure we understand your personal style and the dream you have for your ADU. Our project managers are known for their great communication skills, our team is known for their high-quality work, and we're known for building the home of your dreams!

Flooring

Flooring

Usually, garages are built on top of uninsulated concrete slabs, indented a few inches below the house level. Usually, there is a slope towards the garage door to accommodate for floor drainage. Our team will make sure to properly level the garage foundation, and install proper heat insulation, so the garage is properly converted into a completely usable living area. We will install flooring based on your preferences - tiles, hardwood flooring, natural stone - whatever you need, we can complete.

Wiring and Plumbing

Wiring and Plumbing

If necessary, we will update your existing circuit, so it can accommodate the increase in electrical usage. We will install wall plugs, switches, and ceiling lights, so your converted garage is completely usable. When it comes to plumbing, depending on your ADU project needs, we may have to completely redo the existing system (if present). If the garage conversion would include a shower/bathroom we will install water heaters, toilet bowls, showers, and tiles. We have tons of experience in home remodeling in the Woodlands, so rest assured your garage "remodel" will be in good hands.

Heating and Cooling

Heating and Cooling

We already mentioned we can install floor insulation. On top of this, we can add additional wall insulation to increase the energy efficiency of the newly converted garage. If possible, we will make sure to plan for the extension of your existing heating and cooling system. However, if this is not possible, we will dedicate either space for gas heaters, or wood stoves or would plan for proper HVAC system installation.

Entryways

Entryways

The main question when converting a garage is what to do about the garage door. Once the door is removed, the space needs to be filled so it visually matches the rest of the house and is placed so it is functional. Depending on your main goal, a new entryway may be the best fit. Other homeowners go for patio doors or completely seal off the entry from the garage, installing a picture window instead. No matter what your family needs are, the team of Partners in Renovation is more than ready to make it happen.

Final Touches

Final Touches

Our focus is not only on completing the internal remodel work, but also making sure the final garage conversion looks absolutely seamless with the look of your home exterior. We will match the color, windows, siding, and door styles with the rest of your home, so the newly added ADU completely blends in with your home design.
