Need a full garage conversion
or just a partial garage remodel?

With a garage remodel (or partial garage conversion), you can have a huge increase in functionality (and natural light) without removing the ABILITY to open the garage to the driveway. We can replace standard garage doors so that you have window panels or even a wall that is entirely windows. If relevant, we will suggest adding extra insulation (to make the room easier to cool or heat).
