Garage Construction & Conversions in Houston
Detail Construction builds new detached and attached garages, expands existing ones, and converts garages into finished living space. A garage project is one of the most cost-effective ways to add square footage, storage, or a dedicated workshop to your Houston home.
Garage Conversions
Converting your garage into a bedroom, home office, gym, gameroom, or garage apartment is one of our most-requested projects. A conversion typically runs $15,000–$35,000 depending on finishes and whether plumbing is added, and it must meet code for insulation, egress windows, electrical, and HVAC. We handle the permitting and the engineering so the new space is comfortable year-round in Houston's climate and adds real, legal square footage to your home.
New Garages & Workshops
A new detached two-car garage generally runs $26,000–$55,000. We pour a properly prepped slab — critical on Houston's expansive clay soil — and build to current wind-load codes, with options for insulation, electrical, epoxy floors, and workshop build-outs.
Permits, Timeline & Process
New garages and conversions both require a permit in Houston, which we pull and manage. Most projects take 2–6 weeks. As with every job, we start with a free consultation, deliver a detailed estimate, build with daily cleanup, and finish with a walkthrough.
