Home Remodeling Garage Conversions

Ned and Eleanor were married for fifty-two years.  Ned took care of all the bills, and was quite the handy man around the house.  Eleanor cooked, cleaned, and made sure Ned was happy.

As the two grew older, Ned became sick with cancer and soon passed away.  Eleanor was at a loss, and overwhelmed with the upkeep of the house the two had shared for years together.  At first, she tried to do things herself, but it just became too much to handle.  She looked into senior housing options, but didn't feel she could afford them.

Her daughter Ruth considered the cost of adding room to her house to accommodate Eleanor, but found the options quite costly.  Someone mentioned Next Door Garage Apartments to Ruth as a garage remodeling idea.  After some research, Ruth decided this was a great solution.  With a price tag of only $35,000, her two-car garage was transformed into a cozy little apartment for her mother.  The conversion, which took only ten days, offered a good emotional compromise for both Eleanor and Ruth, as Eleanor did not feel like she was being a burden, and Ruth felt at ease knowing her mom was so close.  Ruth also liked the idea that someday it could be easily turned back into a car garage.
