Garage Conversions
If you have an existing carport, you can greatly benefit from a carport to garage conversion that allows you to have additional space, besides being used to park your car. A garage conversion can also give you a brand new family room, home theater, an extra living room or bed room, home office or any other use you can think of. An ideal situation would be one where the front part of the garage could house your vehicle, while the rest of the garage is turned into a living space.
Having a designated storage area in your garage conversion will enable you to have extra space for storage, as well as a family room or home gym. If you have the luxury of space, consider multiple uses for your converted garage. For instance, if you plan to convert your garage into a room for socializing, you will also need to install an extra bathroom, a bar area and an entertainment center. A room like this can also easily double as a family room. Chalk out your garage addition plans to meet your needs perfectly. An extra bedroom will always need an attached bath, so allow for additional plumbing expenses. A home cinema will need extensive rewiring of the garage. A larger kitchen will need heavy duty appliances, like a freezer and therefore, may need additional wiring.
Check with your local Denver, CO area building authorities about special requirements that are needed for a garage conversion. For instance, if your garage conversion affects the drainage system, you may need to apply for special permits. If in doubt, ask for the advice of your surveyor. The time to get your permits in place is before you start work on the project.
