My wife & I was looking for a kitchen remodeling contractor online. When I found Romano Builders we knew from the first meeting that they would be the right contractor! When Eli came to the house to see my situation, he patiently listened to all our ideas & concerns. Better yet, he had a great solutions for every single issue we threw at him. Eli and his company Romano Builders walked us through everything from start of project to the finish. They explained every detail, arrived on time and a super overall performance. In addition, the 3D design was offered to us for FREE with the project with no issues at any time which helped us decide and move forward quickly on this project. The Remodel was finished last week and a BIG thank you for Romano Builders for our beautiful kitchen! Now my wife can go back to cooking again 🙂 I would like to thank Eli, Lori and their entire team for wonderful work they have performed and will definitely hire them for our next project whatever it may be.

Let’s face it. Most of us rarely park our cars in the garage. Instead, it has become that cold dark place where we store things we don’t need or even regular trash. But your garage can be much more than that. It could be anything you want it to be. It could be a living space, an extra bedroom, a family playground, a stylish lounge with a bar, a guest house, an office, etc. The possibilities are endless. More than that, carrying out a garage conversion is more cost-effective than starting a new building addition from scratch. It also improves the aesthetic appeal of your home and, by extension, its value.
Ready to convert that cold, empty, and space-taking garage into something beautiful and valuable? Contact Romano Builders today to get started.
WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR GARAGE CONVERSION?
We are local, licensed, and insured. We have many years of experience doing this sort of thing. Having converted lots of garages into different kinds of spaces ranging from offices to guesthouses to mini-living areas, we are adequately equipped to handle every aspect of your garage conversion project.
The alternative is to get a handyman, but that will be a mistake. Handymen are suitable for minor repairs and maintenance, but entrusting a garage conversion job to such is asking for trouble. What you need is a general contractor with an experienced team for every aspect of the job. One that has references and reviews you can verify, knows all the pitfalls of the job and can get it done on schedule. Romano builders are all that and more. We provide sterling customer service and quality services at reasonable rates.
WHAT’S NEEDED TO UNDERGO GARAGE CONVERSION IN CALIFORNIA?
To begin with, you need a plan. What exactly are you looking to create? Of course, the things required for an office will be different if you are looking to develop a family playground or a full-blown living space from your garage. Once you’ve decided, you could employ an architect or design firm to help draw your conversion plans. Or we could do it for you as part of the entire project. If you are unsure what to convert your garage into, we are more than willing to present you with options that will work best for you.
When it comes to garage conversion, details matter. Let’s assume that what you want is a living space. Plumbing, an HVAC system, electrical connections, etc., are a given. However, do you want a tankless water heater or one with a tank? Will you install a ductless HVAC unit or a full one? How many socket outlets and switches will be required? Will the garage roof need to be changed? Do you want a bathtub or shower? These are small details that can make a lot of difference. You will need to provide these details or work with us to agree on them to present a more accurate picture of the entire project.
You will also need to consider the building codes of California state and ensure that the planned conversion complies with these. For instance, if your garage is under powerlines, building a living space there will be against the state’s laws. You can, however, request that the powerlines be relocated before you begin your garage conversion.
As mentioned, much will depend on what you are converting the garage to. Figure that out or reach out to us so we can help you iron things out, including getting the needed permits and kicking off your project.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING GARAGE CONVERSION IN CALIFORNIA?
Although the specifics will depend on what you are converting the garage to, you can expect to see some or all of the following during a garage conversion project: planning, designing, demolition, HVAC and insulation installation, flooring, wall finishes, plumbing, electrical systems installation, furnishing, and decoration.
Planning and designing are done once we have analyzed your garage. At this stage, we’ll work with you to determine what kind of living space you want the garage to be and if it is feasible, given the available space. The necessary permits will then be obtained. And then, depending on the condition of the garage and the specifics of the project, some demolition work will be done. For instance, old fixtures and walls might be pulled down for newer ones. This is a messy business, but we’re good at what we do.
Next, we’ll do some upgrades, such as installing new windows and doors. HVAC and insulation systems will also be installed to ensure the living space is comfortable and efficient. Afterwards, we’ll give attention to the interior. This may include carrying out wall finishes, flooring, plumbing, electrical fixtures, furniture, etc.
Finally, decorations can be carried out to fit your taste and style. Congratulations, your garage has been converted from that cold and drab affair to a warm and integral part of your beautiful home.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CARRY OUT GARAGE CONVERSION IN CALIFORNIA?
To accurately determine the cost of converting a garage in California, you will have to consider the type of living space, type and quality of materials, city garage conversion permits, size of the garage, specific improvements and decorations you’d like to make, and lots more.
We provide reasonable prices without compromising quality. Nothing has to give. This is one of the reasons our clients love us. Contact us today to get an accurate and personalized quote. We’ll be happy to make your home exactly like you want it.
I could not be more pleased with the bathroom remodel we did with Romano Builders! I was so pleased in fact, that midway through the project we expanded the project to include changing to a tankless water heater and changing a window into a sliding glass door. The project was no small undertaking. We re-routed plumbing and electrical and were mostly down to the studs. Shay, Eli, and all of their crew were great to work with. Everyone that we met cared about the project and did a fantastic job. Shay is great to work with and had such a wealth of experience. He was able to help guide some decisions and provide me with feedback. I look forward to working with them again on my next project in the future!
We hired Eli from Romano builders to install very complicated customized front door , what amazing guy paid attention to every small detail show up when he say he will . Highly recommend Eli and his crew from Romano builders.
