GARAGE CONVERSION
It is no secret that the living space in many homes is compact and restrictive. There comes a time where you must consider moving to a larger property or expand your existing home to create additional living space you require.
A very common method of enlarging a home is to convert an existing garage, to a new habitable room or rooms. The new space can then be used for a variety of purposes depending on your requirements the design of your home. You could build a side extension to create a larger dining room, living room, utility room or kitchen.
Although most garage conversions are a straightforward home improvement in that they require little or no exterior changes, there are still many matters that must be considered carefully when planning the layout, construction and location of any additional windows for a garage conversion.
