we want to change our double garage into 2 bedrooms.need any advice please?

Answer 1

Assuming you have a typical garage; painted sheetrock, finished ceilings and at least one window hopefully.

Depending on how you want the exterior to look you could leave the garage door in place, remove the tracks on the ceiling and build a wall a foot or so back from the garage door. A sheetrock wall is very easy to build and finish compared to replacing the garage door with exterior wall board, insulation and siding or brick.
It is also fairly easy to install a window or windows yourself if you are careful about cutting the exterior surface and bracing any studs removed correctly.
Since it's a pretty small area, you can rent a compressor and spray gun that sprays ceiling textures and do this yourself. It should only take a day to do this and will only cost about $50-$65 to rent the equipment.
If cost is a major issue, put in a swiftlock wood floor. The cost is about as low as possible and it looks like a real hardwood floor. Just make sure you get some of the thin padding rolls to put down before you lay the floor. BTW, I installed one of these floors by myself in a 20'x26' room in one day. If a part of the floor gets damaged, it can be replaced in no time, just keep a few leftover pieces around when you're done installing.
Make sure that you insulate any walls that you build with at least an exterior rated insulation, even the dividing wall. Who ever stays in the rooms will appreciate not having the noise travel as much.
You may have to install window unit a/c's and individual heaters in each room. It can be too much drain on the existing central unit to add two rooms.
Check your local codes and covenants before you start buying materials or begin work.
Spend the extra money and hire an electrician to do the electric work. You'll probably need to add breakers, wiring, outlets, switches, ceiling fans, etc. All of which needs to be installed per the National Electrical Code and state code.
Good luck. Don't forget the smoke detectors!

Answer 2

If you live in a deed restricted subdivision, be sure to confirm that this is permitted. Read your most current restrictions.

That has been done in our subdivision only to have to undo all of the work, ours requires a minimum of a two car garage. Our subdivion is fairly strict about the rules, leins are filed if corrections are not made.

Mean as it seems we have exceptionally high home values.

Answer 3

All are good considerations, but you might make the walls easy to take down cause it will hurt the resale value of your house if you make the garage not usable. If its temporary, what about some bedspreads stapled to the wood at ceiling for privacy ? find them at thrift store

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

make sure you have egress windows in each room
