Custom Garage Conversions

Undertaking a garage conversion is a great way to increase your living space and is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the value of your home. The options for creating a new space are endless, but our team has some unique ideas to get you started.

Home Office

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a freelancer, or someone who just needs a quiet space to work, converting your garage into a home office can provide a functional – and peaceful – place for you to get things done.

Installing new flooring such as laminate or a rug will help to warm up the space while built-in shelving and a sleek desk will give the space a professional edge. For a finishing touch, add a pop of colour with a bold couch or piece of art.

Note: Before setting up a home office, first speak with the Planning and Zoning Department in your city about permit requirements.

Indoor Dog Run

Turning your garage into a secure place for your pets to play will not only make your furry family members happy, it may also help to prevent them from wreaking havoc in your home.

Extending your home's heating or cooling into the garage and making sure that there is a flow of fresh air is important if your pets will be spending lots of time in the dog run. You'll also want to remove any potential hazards such as cleaning supplies, paint, pesticides and any sharp objects. Add a dog house or bed so your pets have a cozy place to rest and don't forget the toys!

Cozy Guesthouse

Need more space for hosting out-of-town guests? Transform your unused garage into an inviting retreat for friends and family.

Insulated painted walls, new flooring, and a flood of natural light can make all the difference when setting up your guesthouse. If you don't have any windows in your garage, installing one or two to let in natural light will help to make the space feel like an extension of your home, and less like a garage. Furnish the space with a comfortable bed and a quaint sitting area to make your guests feel right at home. Make sure to incorporate ample storage for guests to store their belongings and, for long visits, consider adding a mini-fridge for storing snacks and beverages.
