Can I Do This? YES. But is it Wise?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with PMI. Destin

You may be feeling a little antsy right now, and converting your garage in to a home gym, rec room, or man cave might seem really appealing at the moment.  If you really want that extra dedicated space. 

 

JUST DO IT

 

But, read below the picture. 

 

Yes, it might be a mistake if you make a permanent alteration to your home that in any way takes away it's intended purpose.  

TV on the wall, carpeting on the floor.  No problem as long as you can get your car in the garage.  I know, I know, Iknow.  No one ever parkes their cars in the garage these days.  but it might happen.

Adapting a home to your own personal taste can be a big mistake, and owners will be well advised to contact you before making any alterations to see if it is wise.

And if you have to make the conversion, make sure it is done well.  So many conversions are done really poorly.

Hi Peter- I've seen it happen a lot!!!  Also saw a master bathroom wall knocked out to make way for a large jacuzzi in the bedroom. This was in a high rise condo!
