Unlock Extra Income and Space, Fast
Housing demand keeps soaring; therefore, unused garages now hold golden potential. Moreover, city programs encourage gentle densification. Consequently, converting a garage or carport into a legal suite delivers fresh revenue, higher resale value, and flexible living space. Vanreno General Contractors Ltd. manages every stage under one roof, from concept drawings to the final occupancy inspection.
Key Advantages of a Garage Conversion
- Monthly Rental Income – Even a compact one-bedroom suite can offset your mortgage.
- Property Value Boost – Appraisers reward finished square footage; consequently, equity rises.
- Multi-Generational Living – Adult children or aging parents stay close while keeping privacy.
- Quick Timeline – Because the shell already exists, construction finishes faster than new builds.
- Eco-Smart Choice – Re-using existing structures reduces material waste and lowers carbon impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I lose parking?
Not always. Furthermore, many cities allow tandem driveway spots to replace garage parking. If Cities bylaw doesn’t allow street parking in some circumstances then we can consider an open parking spot from your own property throughout assigning a spot from your back yard or garage or carport sides.
Can I add a second floor?
Yes, although structural upgrades may extend timelines.
Will the suite be legal?
Absolutely. Consequently, you can list it on the rental market without fear of fines.
