You will need to decide if you are going to keep the existing garage door or will it be made into a complete wall. If you are proceeding without removing the garage door, this makes a large difference in your budget, and in the look of your home. You can add design elements to make your garage look like a part of your home by hiring an architect. Though simple repairs usually don’t call for permits, additions or major changes—particularly those that involve structural work, electrical, heating, and plumbing—usually demand that you get the appropriate permits from the local building department. If you’re working with a contractor or subcontractor.

Our HOA doesn't allow us to remove the garage door on our two-car garage, but we're thinking of converting it in to add more space.

I was wondering if it would be possible to seal the garage door as tightly as possible then use spray foam to seal it even further and build a smooth service to then from a wall up against. Frame, insulate, then drywall. Would the metal garage door get too warm for the spray foam insulation? My fear is that if I leave a gap something may eventually find a way behind the door and make a nest.Or any other suggestions?

I know someone who built a wall about 4 feet inside the garage door. The wall he built is fully insulated and a raised floor was built. Now that garage had a window so his new room has a window, and has an exterior door to his new mini Garage/Maxi Closet.

This was a 1 car garage and he still had a 2 car garage unaffected.I wouldn't try sealing a garage door to try and make interior space. At most I would build an 'interior' inside the garage and still have access room to the garage.Either way this sounds like a good way to: ruin your resale value, mess with insurance coverage, run afoul of code compliance, and make enemies with your HOA.

I am working on a project exactly like this. This is what we are doing (right or wrong). And yes HOA's are the devil but I also agree it may kill resale value.

Onward.Build a wall 2 feet away from the garage door. Great Stuff (spray foam) around the interior of the garage door to ensure water and insect proof. Yes there is an overhang and sloping driveway so water should be minimal to start with. Then caulk the outside of the garage door. Use a caulk that can match the paint to blend in.

Also we ended up screwing the garage to the existing framework so there wasn't any 'give' when the wind picked up.Dry wall the cieling, leaving a space for a crawl space and perhaps any modifications later for heat to escape. Cut a hole in the wall for an AC unit. Make sure the AC is properly framed.

Insulate and drywall the walls.For the door, make sure it is properly framed. We have to reframe the door and redo some concrete work due to wear on the entry.As for the floor, you can do whatever you like but the one I am working on, they want to keep it concrete to keep cost down. I would suggest also using spray foam to insulate between the top of the concrete floor lip and the existing frame (if there is one) and do this prior to insulating the walls (obviously). We shut off all the lights and got down on hands and knees during the day to look for light gaps. I found this to be fairly effective.

You should also have another person go around at night with a flashlight and shine it around the base so you (inside) can see any other gaps. We also did this around the garage door.Anyway, after all the drywall is up, if they want to keep concrete, I would suggest cleaning it really well. Then put a baseboard of some type up so that the room looks cohesive and you don't have any ugly concrete spots. Using treated wood with a waterproof finish or a plastic molding would be best for aftercare purposes.That's what we're doing. Again, resale is going to suck. But if that what's you want for your home the I say go for it.I should mention this is also a detached garage that was built around 1950. The wear on the garage itself was pronounced and the owner hated it as a garage.

Also, I am not a contractor. So don't hate on any contractors out there. We also redid the entire wiring to and in the garage as it was shot and in need of some serious updating. Wall 3 feet inside, with a roof on the room. Built it with metal studs and drywall so it can be easily gotten rid of.

Keep the tracks clear so you can raise the garage door, and have a window and a door into the room. Now you still have a shed garage basically, for tools, lawnmower, bikes, paint and chemicals etc, and you have a nice usable room with light. Keep it organized and it wouldn't even look weird with the garage door open.Your HOA sounds ridiculous, but that's not the way to get back at them.
