We handle every detail, ensuring your project is a seamless, stress-free experience from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
What Can Your Garage Become?
A garage conversion offers limitless possibilities, such as a private home office, a comfortable in-law suite, or a high-demand rental unit. There are many ways to reimagine the space to fit your family's evolving needs. You can create a professional home office with custom built-ins, dedicated electrical circuits for your equipment, and soundproofed walls to ensure a quiet and productive work environment.
For families needing extra room, a private guest suite or in-law quarters provides a comfortable and accessible living area, complete with a private bathroom and entrance.
An income-generating Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is another popular option, offering a significant return on investment by tapping into the strong rental market in the Harrisburg area. You can also design a family recreation room, providing a dedicated space for children to play, a home gym for your fitness goals, or a hobby workshop for your creative pursuits.

What is Our Garage Conversion Process?
The BiiLT Group process is designed for transparency and peace of mind, guiding you through every stage from initial design to final walkthrough. Our process begins with an initial consultation where we listen to your vision, understand your needs, and help you explore the full potential of your space.
Following that, we provide a detailed and easy-to-understand quote, and if needed, we can guide you through our trusted financing partnerships. A key part of our service is handling the entire permitting and compliance stage; we manage all the necessary paperwork and inspections with the city of Harrisburg and Dauphin County, so you do not have to.
During the construction phase, your dedicated project manager provides regular updates as our skilled team of craftsmen brings your vision to life with precision and care. The project concludes with a final walkthrough to ensure every detail is perfect, followed by the handover of our industry-leading warranty for your complete peace of mind.
What Are the Costs of a Garage Conversion in Harrisburg?
The cost of a garage conversion depends on the scope and finishes, but it consistently provides a higher return on investment than a ground-up addition. The final price is influenced by several factors, such as the addition of a full bathroom or a kitchenette, the quality of materials selected, and the complexity of any structural changes.
However, because the home's foundation and core structure are already in place, a garage conversion is significantly more cost-effective than building a new addition from scratch. We provide a fully transparent quote with no hidden fees, allowing you to make informed decisions that align with your budget. We also have financing partnerships available to help make your project even more attainable.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garage Conversions
Here are answers to common questions about converting a garage in the Harrisburg area.
How long does a garage conversion take with BiiLT Group?
The BiiLT Group process is designed for efficiency. While every project is unique, a typical garage conversion is completed within 4 to 8 weeks, from the start of construction to final inspection. Our military precision in planning minimizes delays and ensures a predictable timeline.
Do I need a permit for a garage conversion in Harrisburg?
Yes, a permit is required to legally convert a garage into a living space in Harrisburg. The BiiLT Group team handles the entire permitting process for you, including all paperwork and inspections with Dauphin County, ensuring your new space is safe, compliant, and officially recognized as added value to your home.
Will a garage conversion increase my property taxes in Dauphin County?
Yes, converting a garage into a legal living space will increase the assessed value of your home, which typically results in a modest increase in your property taxes. However, this increase is often offset by the significant rise in your property's overall market value and equity.
Can I still use part of my garage for storage?
Absolutely. We can design a layout that partitions the space, allowing you to create a new living area while retaining a dedicated section for storage. Options include building a separating wall or installing custom cabinetry and overhead storage solutions.
What is the difference between a standard conversion and a legal ADU?
A standard conversion creates an additional living area, such as a bedroom or office, that remains part of the main house. An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a fully independent living space, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance, which can be legally rented out to a tenant. We are experts in building both types and can advise on the best fit for your goals.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
Our commitment to old-fashioned quality is backed by an industry-leading warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. We stand behind every project to ensure your investment is protected and you have complete confidence in your new space.
