I'm curious if anyone has recently converted their garage into a master suite and what the costs were like. I get that the answer varies depending on location and specifics, but I'm particularly interested in recent experiences. This project will be based in a secondary city in North Carolina.

Recently got quoted around $88,000 plus an additional $10,000 for permits—just a heads up, I'm in Los Angeles so prices vary by location.
I did a similar conversion for a slightly smaller space and ended up spending about $100,000. That included $20,000 for premium finishes and ensuring everything met current code standards. I'm located in Fairfield County, CT, so keep in mind that local costs can make a huge difference.
I'm currently working on a similar project here in Minnesota. The city’s strict code compliance is significant; I'm looking at costs between $80,000 and $100,000, especially if we go for high-end finishes.
