Looking to remodel 2 car garage into room, how much?
Chris asked:
I’m thinking of having someone remodel the attached 2 car garage in our house into a work studio for my wife’s jewelry business. Nothing fancy. Just looking to put an insulated wall where the garage doors are now, put insulation in the walls and in the attic, supply it with hvac, need some more electrical outlets, need more lights than are currently in there and possibly a couple of ceiling fans. I know that cost could vary greatly depending on the amount of work needed and the materials used, etc., but I’m just looking for a ballpark estimate. Am I looking at $5000, $10,000? More? Less?

Depending on where you live; 300.00 per sqare foot seems to be the going rate in San Francisco.

Careful…… conversion of the garage is usually frowned on by the City or County unless you provide other off street parking.
Think you can get away with it? think again there is always a nosy neighbor that notices “their garage door is never open” I did some floor repair for a guy that did one several years ago and sure enough the neighbor turned him in. He waited till it was all done and then turned him in. Good for him because that guy screwed me out of $200.00.
I’m not saying you cant do it but its best if you check first. The cost someone else gave was about right in the $5000.00 range

average garage, 22×22, no drywall existing, figuring hardy siding replacing door. ceiling joists are probably 24 in. on center and need to be 16. assuming your existing a/c unit is big enough to handle the extra space, i would say realistic ballpark is 8700- 9500. small-town USA, less 1000.
