Our Garage Wall Conversion Techniques
Insulation and Framing Solutions
We start by reinforcing the garage walls with new framing to support drywall and add structure. This often means installing 2x4 or 2x6 studs, depending on the insulation needs and local building codes. Proper framing provides space for insulation and electrical wiring.
For insulation, we typically use fiberglass batts or spray foam. Fiberglass is affordable and effective for sound and temperature control. Spray foam offers better air sealing but costs more. We ensure insulation is installed evenly to prevent cold spots and keep the space energy efficient.
Drywall and Finishing Options
After framing and insulation, we hang drywall to cover the walls. We use moisture-resistant drywall in garages to reduce mold risk. The drywall is taped, sanded, and primed for painting or other finishes.
We offer smooth or textured finishes depending on your style. Some choose paint while others install wall panels or tile for a modern look. We make sure the finishes are durable and easy to maintain.
Ventilation and Moisture Control
Good ventilation prevents dampness and keeps air fresh. We install vents or exhaust fans to move air and reduce humidity. This is key, especially if the garage will be a living space or workshop.
Moisture barriers like vapor retarders are placed between framing and drywall to stop water from seeping in. We also check that gutters and drainage around the garage direct water away from the walls to protect the structure.
Our Garage Ceiling Conversion Solutions
We focus on creating strong, insulated, and well-lit ceilings that improve your garage’s comfort and usability. Our methods use advanced framing, effective soundproofing, and smart lighting designs that fit your needs.
Ceiling Framing Innovations
We build ceiling frames using metal or treated wood studs for durability and stability. This helps support drywall or other ceiling materials safely. Our framing also allows for easy installation of electrical wiring and fixtures.
We install joists with proper spacing to handle any ceiling loads. This prevents sagging or damage over time. We also include vapor barriers when needed to protect from moisture buildup in humid areas.
Soundproofing and Insulation
We install insulation materials like fiberglass or foam boards to control temperature and reduce noise. These materials improve energy efficiency by keeping the garage warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
For soundproofing, we use dense mats or resilient channels to block noise from tools or cars. This is especially useful when the garage shares walls or ceilings with living spaces. Proper sealing of gaps prevents sound leaks.
Lighting Integration
We design ceiling lighting to fit your garage’s function, whether for a workshop or storage. LED fixtures are our top choice because they are bright and energy-efficient.
We plan fixture placement to avoid shadows, using recessed lights or track lighting as needed. We also include switches and dimmers for easy control. Wiring is safely hidden within the ceiling structure to keep the space clean and tidy.
