Electrical & HVAC

Outlets, lighting, and conditioned air, brought up to code.

If you can’t give up the garage, an addition may be the better call. We’ll say so on the walk-through.
Unpermitted conversions don’t count as legal square footage and surface on a resale inspection. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.

Garage-to-Master-Suite Questions

Can you convert a 2-car garage into a master suite?

Yes. Impact Overhead Doors handles the full 2-car garage conversion to a master suite in-house, removing the door and framing the opening into a finished exterior wall, then insulation, electrical, HVAC, egress, and finish work to meet code. It’s all coordinated under one contract, so you deal with one company from the walk-through to the final inspection.

It depends on the size of the garage, whether the suite includes a bathroom, and how much electrical, HVAC, and finish work is involved. A conversion generally costs less than building an addition of the same size because the slab, roof, and walls already exist. We give you one written price after an on-site walk-through, and financing is available on approved credit.

Yes. Converting a garage into living space is a structural and use change that requires a permit and inspection in Austin and the surrounding cities. Without it, the new room can’t be counted as legal square footage and will surface during a resale inspection. We handle the permitting as part of the project.

A permitted, code-compliant master suite adds finished square footage, which can add real value. A primary suite is one of the most sought-after rooms in a home. The key word is permitted. An unpermitted conversion can hurt a sale instead of helping it, which is why the structural and permitting side is where the project has to start.

Most 2-car garage conversions run several weeks, depending on whether the suite includes a bathroom and how the permitting and inspections schedule out. We give you a realistic timeline in the written proposal before any work begins.

No. A full conversion turns the garage into finished living space, so you give up the covered parking. That’s why it suits homes with a driveway or street parking. If keeping the garage matters, we’ll talk through an addition instead on the walk-through.

Yes. Many garage-to-suite conversions include an ensuite bath. We handle the structural and finish work and bring in our licensed plumbing partner for the rough-in and fixtures, all under one contract.

That is the goal. We frame, side, and finish the old opening so the exterior reads as part of the house rather than a filled-in garage, and we match flooring and trim inside to the adjoining rooms.
