how much will it cost to paint and put carpet in?

Answer 1

Check with your local building department.

Most jurisdictions require a garage (or carport) for on-site parking, so conversion may not be legal.

The garage floor may be damp in the winter, causing mold.

The garage roof is probably not insulated, like a bedroom should be.

Building codes require heat, smoke detectors, escape windows, and ventilation in bedrooms.

Answer 2

You will need to plaster the walls as well if they are just grey blocks, and make sure there is proper heating too. I would say a cost of around £1000-£2000 ( $2000-$4000)
