Does the preview show what happens to the garage door?

Yes. You can generate the preview with the door opening framed into a standard wall with windows, replaced with a slider for indoor-outdoor flow on an ADU, or kept in place as a design element behind a converted room. Run more than one version so the homeowner can compare exterior treatments side by side.

Can it show a full ADU with a kitchenette and bathroom, or just a flex room?

Both. The preview can show a finished kitchenette, bath fixtures, and a separate entrance for an ADU concept, or a simpler office or gym finish with no plumbing. It's a visualization of the finished space, not an engineering document — actual plumbing and electrical feasibility still gets scoped by your team.

Does it account for the step down from the house floor to the garage slab?

Yes. Garage slabs typically sit several inches below the main house floor and slope toward the door for drainage, which is exactly the detail that makes a converted garage look unfinished if it's ignored. The preview reflects the actual floor transition so it doesn't oversell a flush, seamless result you'd still need a subfloor system to deliver.

Will the converted garage still look like a house from the street, not a garage?

That's the objection this tool is built to answer directly. Run the preview with the exterior treatment you're actually proposing — new siding, windows, a matched roofline — so the homeowner sees the street view resolved, not just the interior. Curb appeal anxiety is the single biggest reason garage conversion bids stall.

Can I show different uses from the same garage photo — office vs. gym vs. guest suite?

Yes. Generate a separate preview for each use case from one photo. Homeowners undecided between a home office and a rentable suite respond faster when they can compare finished rooms side by side instead of imagining both from a floor plan.

Are homeowner photos stored or retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets HIPAA, GDPR, or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

How does this compare to a 3D architectural rendering or CAD walkthrough?

Full CAD renderings require a modeled floor plan and days of turnaround, and they're built for construction documentation, not a same-visit sales close. Makeover generates a photorealistic result from a phone photo in under 10 seconds — it's a closing tool for the first site visit, not a replacement for the drawings your architect or draftsman produces once the project is sold.

What is a garage conversion preview?

A garage conversion preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of what a garage will look like after it's converted into livable space. The contractor or designer photographs the existing garage — concrete slab, exposed framing, roll-up door and all — and the tool produces a transformed version showing flooring, wall finishes, lighting, and furnishings for the intended use, whether that's a home office, gym, guest suite, or accessory dwelling unit. Design-build remodelers and ADU specialists use this on the first site visit to sell the finished room before a single drawing is started.

Why it matters

Garage conversions are the cheapest square footage a homeowner can add — the roof, slab, and exterior walls already exist, so cost stays well below ground-up construction. A basic flex-room finish typically runs $20,000–$60,000; add a kitchenette, full bath, and separate entrance for a rentable ADU and it climbs to $60,000–$150,000+ depending on region and permitting. That range is exactly why homeowners stall: they're comparing three contractors, three scopes, and three price tags for a room they cannot picture past the workbench and the oil-stained slab. The contractor who shows them the finished room on the first walkthrough — not a floor plan sketch — collects the deposit before the second bid even arrives.

Who uses this

Design-build remodeling contractors selling garage conversions as flex rooms or full suites. ADU specialty builders working within local accessory-dwelling-unit programs. General contractors adding garage conversion as a service line alongside standard renovation. Interior designers scoping guest suites and home offices as part of a whole-home project. Real estate agents showing sellers the rentable-ADU upside of an unfinished garage before listing.

Heard this from a homeowner?

A homeowner stands in the garage looking at exposed studs, a workbench, and an oil-stained slab and says "I just can't picture this as a bedroom."

They worry the house will "look like it used to be a garage" from the street — that losing the roll-up door tanks curb appeal and resale value.

They're weighing three uses at once — home office, rental ADU, in-law suite — and can't compare any of them, so they collect three separate bids and stall the decision for months.

How garage conversion previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the garage as-is

Concrete slab, framing, roll-up door, storage clutter — whatever's actually in there. No need to clear it out first.

AI generates the conversion preview

The model applies flooring over the slab, wall finishes, windows or a wall in place of the garage door, and furnishings for the intended use, while preserving the room's real dimensions and structural openings.

Present it during the walkthrough

Their own garage, converted, on your tablet, standing right there in the space. The sales conversation moves from "what could this be" to "when can you start."
