Patient: Multi-functional garages and home office setup with aged, underutilized zones Referred by: Homeowner looking to turn raw garage space into clean storage + living support, and refresh home office finish 🤕 Symptoms: -Detached garage structure installed with no insulation or finishes -Existing house garage was cluttered, moisture-stained, and poorly surfaced -Office had worn trim, cosmetic damage, and outdated layout details -Storage needs were growing — but square footage was under-leveraged 🩺 Diagnosis: The detached garage was an unfinished shell — framed but empty inside. It needed full insulation, drywall, ceiling, loft framing, and finish work to become usable. The house garage showed classic wear: unsealed floor, stained lower walls, and brittle ceiling seams. And the office? Patchy walls, outdated trim, and layout issues that affected flow. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Frame and build a 10’x13’ elevated loft platform inside the large garage -Fully insulate and sheetrock walls + ceiling (1800 sq ft) -Tape, mud, prime, and paint all surfaces (walls, ceiling, trim) -Install LifeProof vinyl plank flooring and quarter round in loft -Mount 80"" TV and soundbar (client-supplied) In the house garage: -Repair ceiling board fasteners and re-tape seams -Skim damaged walls and repaint entire garage -Clean, prep, and apply gray floor coating over 230 sq ft -Scrape and seal concrete wall with Drylok (124 sq ft) -Frame, insulate, and finish small panel above garage door In the office: -Fix all corners with joint compound; skim walls -Paint walls, 4 doors, trim, and wood feature wall behind workstation -Lower chair rail and install approx. 48’ of crown molding -Replace baseboard covers (3 long, 2 end caps, 1 corner unit) 💡 Prognosis: This space is now balanced and optimized. The loft brings vertical utility and style. The garages are crisp, dry, and functional. And the office? Clean lines, refreshed flow, and no more mismatched finishes. From rough shell to refined support zone — this transformation delivered serious ROI on livability and layout.
