C&B S asked:


We are looking at buying a 3 year-old house with both a double and single car garage. My mother in law may need to move in with us in the next year or so, so we had thought about converting the single car garage into a MIL suite for her.

The garage is 14x 20 and is attached to the side of the house. It also already has a door leading from the main part of the house to the garage and basic electrical wiring. We would want to “finish: the garage, add a few windows, and put a bay window in place of the garage door. If possible, we would like to add a full bathroom (there is half bath on the other side of the garage). The dual zone heating system could handle heating the extra room, so we would not have to upgrade that.

What kind of price range are we looking at here?
