Looking for garage conversion in Dunedin? LRG Contractors Group is a licensed Florida general contractor serving Dunedin and the surrounding Pinellas County — from Historic Downtown Dunedin, Edgewater Drive waterfront, Highland and beyond. Turn an underused garage into a real bedroom, office, gym, or in-law suite.
A garage conversion is the most cost-effective square footage you can add to a Tampa Bay home — the foundation, walls, and roof already exist, so you're finishing space rather than building it from scratch. It's the fastest path to an extra bedroom, a real office, or an in-law suite.
For Dunedin specifically, it comes down to local realities: Dunedin's historic bungalows and walkable-downtown desirability make character-preserving kitchen and bath remodels — done without stripping the home's original detailing — the work that holds value best here. Dunedin runs its own building department under the Florida Building Code; downtown-adjacent older homes can add character considerations on exterior work, and waterfront and Causeway-area homes sit in the wind-borne-debris region with possible flood-zone rules. We design and permit your garage conversion around exactly those conditions.

Garage Conversion cost
Typical Tampa Bay ranges, not a quote. Whether it's a simple room or a full suite with kitchen and bath is the biggest cost driver, along with foundation and utility work. Fixed proposal after a site visit.
