![]() Remodeling any part of the house is no small task. If you are considering remodeling your garage, there are several factors to consider. You need to have a good idea of what you want to achieve with the remodeling, such as problem areas you want to focus on, hiring the right people for the job and the total cost of the project. It is also important to have a clear idea of the objective of the remodel before you embark. Do you want to be able to fit a larger vehicle in your garage, convert it into a home office, workshop or gym? Do I Have To Do Anything Before I Start The Remodeling Process? It is a requirement of law to get approval before going ahead with major remodeling. You will need to submit your plans to the zonal building authority, which will be drawn for you by a licensed architect or a structural engineer. You can only proceed once your plans are approved. You may have to pay a fee. When you get approved, you will then need to get down to the cost. You may have to alter plans or take out a loan to finance the remodeling. If you borrow, factor in the interest charged on the loan into your cost. How Much Will It Cost To Remodel My Garage? Ensure that your contractor gives you a comprehensive budget for the materials. They should include every material, the cost and the quantity of each that will be required for the job. Depending on the kind of remodeling you are doing, get a quote for the wall finishing, insulation, lighting, electrical circuits, etc. If your remodeled garage will be furnished, include this cost. As much as possible, use the highest quality of building materials. If you have to compromise to lower costs, compromise on the furnishing. Cost will vary according to exactly what will be done during the remodeling. It will also depend on whether you will be paying for labor at an hourly rate or a flat rate for the different jobs. It is advisable to ask your contractor for a written estimate that details every job and how much you will be paying. In case any problems arise, you can use the written quote in your defense. Will I Need A New Garage Door For My Remodel? You want to entrust the job to people you can rely upon and who will quote you appropriately.
