According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average cost of converting a garage into living space is $6,343. Homeowners who remodeled detached garages spent an average of $6,254 in 2001, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University.
Most people use their garages for storage, so the hot trends are things that maximize space, such as storage and shelving. Another popular trend is good lighting, especially if the garage is a hobby area. An important idea for maximizing the limited space is to line the walls with a material you can use to hang tools and equipment. Plywood or salt-board are good options. You as the homeowner can hang tools almost anywhere in the garage, and you have the flexibility to rearrange everything at will.

A seaboard state, E Maryland is divided by Chesapeake Bay, which runs almost to the northern border; thus the region of Maryland called the Eastern Shore is separated from the main part of the state and is dominated by the bay. For the most part, the erratic course of the Potomac River separates the main part of Maryland from Virginia (to the south) and the long, narrow western handle from West Virginia (to the south and west). The District of Columbia cuts a rectangular indentation into the state just below the falls of the Potomac.
