        "text": "Converting a garage requires leveling concrete floors, adding insulation, hanging drywall, extending electrical and HVAC systems, and finishing exterior walls. Before starting, measure ceiling heights and review parking alternatives, since you sacrifice enclosed car storage and utility staging space. Concrete slabs often require vapor barriers and subflooring before new finishes are installed. In addition, the garage door opening must be framed and finished with complementary siding or exterior stucco to blend seamlessly with your home's facade. Determining heating and cooling capacity early prevents undersized climate control once the conversion is occupied.",
