Are you seeking a way out to have an extra bedroom without spending on a full-scale addition? You can look over our ADU projects for car garage conversion into 1 bedroom! If we assume that you have unused space for a two-car garage, it will add nearly 600 square feet, which is sufficient to create a cozy bedroom. And the good news is that you don’t have to break your bank in this addition!

How Much Does a Car Garage Conversion Into 1 Bedroom Cost?

Converting your garage into a bedroom requires less investment because the foundation is already there. Using the existing structure, including walls, roof, and floor, you have to spend half the costs of a new room addition. Of course, you will need proper planning for a 2 garage conversion into 1 bedroom, and we are here to help you throughout the process, from design to execution.

Now, the overall costs of the garage conversion into one bedroom depend on the features you want to add here. Still, if we count the average, you may have to spend up to more or less $50,000 to transform a two-car garage. And if you want to include a bathroom plan there in your bedroom, add a little more, around $17,000 to $26,000.

What Does the Two-car Garage Conversion Into Bedroom Involve?

Different garage conversion projects we have handled so far. From that experience, we can say that it can take nearly two months. After all, the project includes so much, like:

Floor height raised for insulation
Ceiling and wall insulation
Heating and cooling installation, like a mini-split system (ductless)
Open floor plan by knocking down the partition between the garage and home
Garage door replacement into insulated stud walls
Electrical upgrades
Window and door additions

In fact, if you want to make your garage look like it was always a bedroom, we recommend eliminating the garage door openings and other evidence. Also, change the rooftop designs into something trendy, like dormer windows, while adding more windows than a bedroom has.

How to Set Up the Garage Space Into a Cozy Bedroom

While converting the car garage into your private space, a bedroom you have longed for days, pay attention to the setup before the project kicks off. For example:

Layered tray ceiling
Separate space for relaxation
Soundproof walls
Fibre optic lighting

Is Garage Conversion Into a Stunning Kitchen Possible?

Post date March 16, 2022

While having an unused garage, converting it into usable space can be the best thing to increase your square footage or utilize excess room instead of wasting it. And when it comes to the kitchen, the garage is large enough to turn it into a stunning cooking space. Of course, you may have started looking into different home improvement magazines or Pinterest for garage conversion kitchen ideas. But a few things you need to do before that, and we are here to tell you what!

What to Keep in Mind for Garage Conversion Into a Kitchen

Of course, while turning your old garage into a cooking space, you can save dollars for the foundation and walls as everything you have already. However, we, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, suggest taking a little time and doing the following to ensure a successful garage conversion kitchen. Such as:

Explain about the old kitchen

Before the project kicks off, make sure you sit with our builders and remodeling contractors over a coffee to share about your old cooking space. It will help them ideate what type of design you expect for a new one.

For example, suppose you have an old-fashioned home. And yet, the kitchen is here just like a small extension at the back of the house with old appliances and dark wall tiles, which make the room more cramped and dark. Hence, you may be looking forward this time to an open kitchen with an abundance of natural light access.

Have a clear idea of the new room!

Do you like a modern-style kitchen with clean decor or some contemporary style to have a timeless layout? If you love cooking but have no time to organize it often, you would love a design that can help you leave the cooking space as clutter-free as possible.

In that case, you should have great storage in the kitchen to keep the essentials. So, have a clear idea of which type of layout you exactly desire to make the room functional and stylish.

Talk about your favorite feature!

Be open with us and unfold your secret desire about the feature you want to include in the garage conversion kitchen. For instance, it can be folding doors on the entire wall that opens to the garden or knocking down the wall between the old kitchen and garage (if adjacent) and creating a family cooking space with dining.

Surprising Facts About Garage Conversions You Never Knew!

Post date January 17, 2022

Do you need some extra living space in your home? Then, nothing could be a better option for you than garage conversions if you have one that is not in use! However, before playing with the idea of converting garage space into a livable room, we suggest knowing different unknown facts regarding this that you may have never noticed.

What to Know About Garage Conversions Before It Starts

A few facts are there that you may never know before the conversion project kicks off. Such as:

Building permits for Garage Conversions

In Los Angeles, California, garage conversions have got legal permission but come with a permit that you can receive while meeting the following requirements:

Your garage conversion should be one and a half-mile of public transports.
Not exceed more than five feet from the property line
Make sure not to cross 1200 square feet

If you continue the garage conversions without a permit, the chance that the inspectors can make you open up the walls and convert the space again into the garage. The building permits in LA don’t cost much, like just a fraction of the entire project expenses. Yet, getting the permit is worth it!

Walls and insulation

According to a survey, a garage conversion is the most economical answer to add more space to your premises. That’s why you may prefer converting it into a living room but with insulated and paneled drywalls. But if you find the walls not insulated, a number of ways may be there to identify the issue for the existing garage wall materials. For example:

When your garage exterior is made of cinderblock, stud framing on the perimeter may cause insulation going between that.
You can go for spray-foam insulation to fasten the drywall to the framing.
Don’t miss to plan for a closet space before you close up the walls.

Flooring, doors, and windows:

We, MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, suggest going for different options for new flooring while the doors and windows. After all, the usual concrete and flat flooring may not be that desirable while transforming the garage into a living room. For instance:

Ceramic and vinyl floors are the most affordable and easiest to install.
Carpet and hardwood are good, but a little expensive!
A solid or windowed wall or French doors
Bigger windows for natural light but in less amount to maintain privacy

Bottom line

It’s just a wait of a couple of days, and 2022 will be here! Of course, this one is the most wonderful festive season when the closed ones, like parents, drop in your home to give you SURPRISE! Then, don’t you think you should prepare a place for them to sleep once they arrive? You have left with no extra space except for your garage. Is that possible? Actually, yes, it is if you turn your old ADU garage into a guest room. And we are here to tell you how to convert that so quickly, just in two days!

How to Convert Old ADU Garage Into a Guest Room

Honestly, there’s no time to renovate your unused garage space. But Here are some smart tips to convert your unused garage space into a guest room:

Clean and declutter:

Start with sweeping your garage floor and mop it after that! Then, turn your heads towards the corners where the spiders are staring at you from the cobs. Clean those all and call our designers and builders to install ceiling storage and wall shelves to make the place livable! We serve the areas in and surrounding Los Angeles.

Paint the garage:

While running out of time and looking for a temporary solution, hang curtains around the garage instead of a new door installation because it’s a matter of time and dollars. Or you can install wallpapers to cover the dull walls of your garage and once you have done with that, install insulation for temperature control. You can watch our videos on Youtube for more ideas!

Cover the windows and floor

Maybe your garage floor is not tiled, and the windows are broken. Then, don’t think twice about covering those. Pick the curtains and block the window to avoid the inside view, while a patterned rug carpet can add elegance to the floor. For more ideas and customers’ feedback, you can check on Yelp.

Everything About Car Garage Conversion Into Bedroom

Post date November 2, 2021

Maybe you have no idea, but utilizing the unused garage space is on the craze for homeowners running out of the space! A car garage conversion into the bedroom not only increases the square footage for living space but adds around $65,000 to the home without the hassle of a planning permit! And even if it needs, our designers and contractors can handle that like a breeze!

What to Know about Car Garage Conversion into Bedroom

Yes, you have to hit your wallet a little bit to turn your garage into a stunning master bedroom! But before you start, learn the following:

How much to spend for the conversion

At MDM Custom Remodeling Inc, we offer projects on two garage conversions (400 square feet) into one bedroom, including kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, closet, and living space. The overall expenses will be around $35,000, depending on your customized demands and layout choices.

Single garage conversion or double?

Most homeowners remain overwhelmed to make this decision whether they should convert the single standard garage or double. The former one comes on average 150 square feet maximum! This one is too tiny for a bedroom while left with minimum space to open doors!

But if you own a home with double garage space, partly garage conversion into the bedroom is not a bad idea, though. You can leave here a few square feet to park your bike if required!

When to go for garage conversion into bedroom

Two signs are there when you should and not! For instance:

If the parking for two-car families is zoned in your location, don’t convert your garage space. Instead, think of a second story for bedroom addition!
When plenty of space on the road for parking, converting the garage into a bedroom makes sense!
