Why Homeowners Remodel Garages

A garage remodel or addition can significantly change how you utilize your home. For many of our clients, it means:

Creating new living space — garage conversions that become guest suites, in-law suites, or private offices.
Adding upstairs square footage — second-story garage additions designed for bedrooms, home gyms, or bonus rooms.
Expanding capacity — from two-car to four-car garages, often with lifts or higher ceilings for car enthusiasts.
Blending beauty with practicality — reimagined garage facades that enhance curb appeal while improving day-to-day use.

Your Garage Remodel Questions, Answered

Can a garage really be converted into living space?

Yes. Many garages have untapped potential, especially on the second story. With proper insulation, egress, and natural light, a garage conversion can add a guest suite, office, or bonus room that feels fully integrated.

What if I want to expand my garage for more cars?

We’ve designed everything from traditional two-car additions to four-car layouts with lifts and higher ceilings. We also integrate mudrooms and transitions so the new space works seamlessly with the rest of the house.

How do you make sure a new garage matches the home?

We design and remodel garages to complement your home’s architecture while improving its street presence. From façade details to garage door selections, every design choice is made to ensure the addition enhances both function and curb appeal.

We hired Commonwealth to build a garage, rebuild a laundry room, refashion a fireplace to built-ins and perform various other alterations in our home. We would recommend Commonwealth without hesitation to anyone who wants meticulous, honest, top-quality work...Sometimes getting contractors to finish work is like pulling teeth - not with Commonwealth. They were truly concerned about delivering a product that made us happy. And we are. We are so glad we hired them - highly recommend!

Commonwealth built a screened porch and deck for us about 25 years ago, and they still look great. We had them remodel the kitchen more recently, and a few months ago they remodeled two baths. They're professional and they follow through. The designs of all three are pleasing. Very happy.
