Remodeling a garage to a room is often a cost-effective way to add living space to your home.
1. Because the foundation, roof and exterior walls are already built, you will not incur these costs.
2. You will be able to remodel the area with little disruption to the rest of your home.
3. You may already have the electrical wiring in place (most garages have lights and at least one electrical outlet)
as well as plumbing.
4. Depending upon local building codes, you may not need a building permit for your project.
Why would you need a building permit? This can vary from one location to another, but the primary issues are:
* Structural soundness
* Exits
* Heating and cooling
* Windows
* Ventilation
* Insulation
* Plumbing
* Electrical
In some areas, failure to build to local code can require that you restore the space to its original condition before you sell the house.
