We specialize in creating custom cabinet and countertop solutions for your kitchen, bath or any other part of your home.
"I started working with Jim Seibert of Trademark Cabinet Company this summer in preparation for a significant kitchen overhaul in my townhouse. From the beginning, he was open to my questions and preferences, and helped me plan and design cabinets to fit in the existing footprint but far surpassed the functionality of my 1980s cabinets. When it came time to do the demo in October, he and his crew were both friendly and professional, and cleaned up after themselves. I watched them repeatedly do calm and focused problem-solving on the fly, and they finished earlier than we expected. Then when they brought the gorgeous cabinets we chose, they were meticulous in their installation and gracious as I watched the whole process from my spot on the stairs. The finished product was superb, the price very competitive, and I only have compliments for their work."

A garage apartment represents a valuable addition to your property when properly constructed according to local regulations. The potential benefits include additional living space for family members, rental income possibilities, and increased property value.
Your specific return depends on local housing market conditions, construction quality, and ongoing maintenance. Consider consulting with a real estate professional regarding potential returns in your neighborhood.
Building a garage apartment requires multiple permits, with basic residential garage permits starting at $74 in most locations. You'll need separate approvals for structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing installations, and mechanical components.
Many jurisdictions also require specific approval for accessory dwelling units. Contact your local building department early in your planning process to understand all requirements and associated costs.
Converting an existing garage into living space presents an alternative to new construction. The feasibility depends on your garage's structural condition, foundation type, and local zoning regulations. Key considerations include insulation requirements, utility connections, and moisture control. Research local codes thoroughly, as many municipalities have specific requirements for garage conversions.
