In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job. I chose to work in this industry because I have been handed a gift to work my hands early on in life, I have learned a lot working with my father, rsidential and commercial builders I worked my way through learning just about every trade and how they work together. As a result I bring many years of experience to the business, which I pass on to my customers giving them great quality in the work that I do. More than that, after working for a home builder in the Lehigh Valley for 8 years I came to realize it comes down to 1 thing. I love my customers!. We started in this industry in 1980. We describe our business as Family owned and operated Home Improvement Contractor #: PA040229 EXP: 7/15/2024
"Home Solutions did an amazing job bringing our basement vision to a reality. John Z and his team were professional, meticulous, and highly skilled at their craft. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, and completed the basement in just 3 months. Within that time we had a luxury style basement that included a full gym, entertainment area, bar, and walkout with an updated storage area to complete the job. They also installed a sump pump and other requested items that were not a part of the original plan. The new basement increased our property value tremendously, and the quality of work was consistent with our current finishes. We highly recommend “Home Solutions” with John Z if you are considering building or renovating your basement."

Converting a garage is worth it because it can significantly increase your home's value while providing additional living space for your family or guests. Adding a bedroom or bathroom enhances your property's appeal to potential buyers, and creating a guest suite or apartment can even generate passive rental income while you still own the house.
A garage conversion can take between two and six weeks for the construction work, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Before construction begins, you need to secure the proper building permits and hire a contractor. Keep in mind that contractors are often in high demand and might schedule several weeks out. If your garage conversion is extensive or involves significant structural changes, the timeline could extend to eight weeks or more. For attached garages, the proximity to your living space may cause some disruption during construction.
To make your garage livable, at a minimum, you need to insulate the walls, add in legally required egress windows, install flooring, put up drywall, and add in air conditioning and heating. If you intend to use the space as a bedroom, office, bathroom, or kitchen, you will need to consider additional electrical and plumbing needs.
A garage conversion counts as living space when it meets certain criteria. The converted garage must be attached to your home and include permanent features like proper insulation, finished walls and ceilings, and adequate ventilation. It should be suitable for year-round living, with heating and cooling systems to maintain comfortable temperatures in all seasons. Meeting these standards allows the converted space to be included in your home's total square footage, potentially increasing its value.
In most cases, you do not need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. An experienced garage conversion contractor usually has the skills to help create your desired design and ensure the project meets building codes. However, if your conversion involves complex structural changes or a large-scale redesign, hiring an architect can be beneficial. An architect can provide detailed plans and oversee the design to maximize space and functionality, ensuring the conversion aligns with your vision and complies with all regulations.
