When you imagine the perfect home improvement, you might conjure images of a two-storey extension or a beautifully crafted new roof. But garage conversions? Some of you are probably thinking, why would you convert your garage? Having secure off-street parking is one tick off the homeowner’s bucket list. It’s unfathomable that you’d ever want to be without it, yet many people are converting. And for a massive variety of reasons. Here is an exhaustive list of reasons why many people choose Laskowski Builders for their garage conversions.
Family-oriented issues
- Guest room or Annex: If you need a guest room, Annex or granny flat for visiting or live-in relatives, then converting your garage is a great option.
- Playroom: A playroom could be the ideal solution if you have a young family that creates havoc in the house. Then, as they become teenagers, your garage conversion morphs into a gaming den.
Lifestyle and Home Improvement
- Additional living space: Even some new-build homes are limited in space, so renovating the garage can be an attractive option.
- Increasing property value: Turing your garage into something other than a fancy carport can add value to your home, depending on circumstances such as off-road parking or reliable local transport links.
- Energy efficient: Old garages are usually poorly insulated, so by converting your garage space, you can create something more valuable and energy efficient.
Work-related uses
- Home Office: As remote working gradually embeds itself in the fabric of life, a former garage offers a gentle retreat from the hub of the house. Also, they can serve as an excellent workshop for tradespeople.
- Airbnb: With a side hustle becoming a mainstay in modern life, consider using your garage as an Airbnb rental to generate some additional income.
Leisure and Entertainment:
- Home Gym: No longer do you need to feel guilty for paying for a gym membership you don’t use – build your own and use it at your pace.
- Home Cinema: Very few of us visit the cinema now, so consider making your own Little Hollywood in your garage.
