Interior Renovations

Garage Renovations & Conversions

Turn dead square footage into a room you actually use.

Gym, office, studio, in-law suite, or a finished garage with real storage and a coated floor. Conversions need insulation, moisture control, HVAC, egress, and permitting done properly, otherwise you get a hot, humid room that hurts resale.

Typical timeline

2–6 weeks

Typical investment

Finished garages from $9,000; full living conversions $28,000–$85,000

How we approach it

Turn your garage into a room you actually want to use

A garage is often the most underutilized square footage in a house. Whether you want a dedicated home gym, a private office, an art studio, or a full in-law suite, we can convert your garage into conditioned, finished living space.

A proper conversion is more than just framing and drywall. It requires careful attention to insulation, moisture control, HVAC sizing, and egress requirements to ensure the new space is comfortable and adds to your home's value, not its humidity problems.

We also offer garage renovations that keep the parking space but upgrade the utility: high-performance floor coatings, custom storage systems, and climate-controlled lighting that make the space clean and functional.

Example project

Garage transformed into a professional home office

Jupiter, FL5 weeks

The challenge
A homeowner needed a dedicated home office away from the main house noise, but lacked the square footage in the main floor plan.
What we did
We converted the two-car garage into a conditioned home office. We sealed the slab, added insulation, installed a mini-split AC system, and finished with professional-grade drywall and trim.
The result
The space is quiet, climate-controlled, and adds professional office square footage that integrated perfectly with the home's style.

Illustrative example based on typical jobs of this type.

Standards we hold

  • We verify that the conversion meets all municipality parking requirements
  • Moisture and air sealing are prioritized to prevent Florida humidity issues
  • All work is permitted and inspected to maintain home value
  • HVAC is resized or added to ensure comfort in the new living space
  • Floor coatings use proper mechanical prep for a long-term bond
After: Cluttered garage to finished living spaceBefore: Cluttered garage to finished living space

Client feedback

Referred, again and again

“They gutted and rebuilt two bathrooms and our kitchen while we lived in the house. Every day the site was clean, every question got answered the same day, and the final number matched the estimate.”
Daniel R. · Fort Lauderdale, FL · Kitchen + 2 bathroom remodel
“We had water damage behind a wall that two other contractors misdiagnosed. 12X found it in an hour, handled the drying, rebuilt the drywall, and dealt with the insurance paperwork.”
Melissa T. · Hollywood, FL · Water-damage restoration
“Pavers, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and turf, done in five weeks and permitted properly. Our backyard is the reason we stopped talking about moving.”
Andre & Sofia P. · Coral Springs, FL · Full backyard renovation
“We turn over rental units on tight deadlines. They have never once missed a make-ready date, and their punch lists are cleaner than anyone we've used.”
Property manager · Miami, FL · Property turnover program
