        "text": "A garage conversion transforms an existing structure into living space, typically by modifying the interior and exterior to match the home. A home addition, conversely, involves building entirely new square footage onto your existing home. Garage conversions are often more cost-effective and have shorter timelines since the primary structure is already in place. However, additions allow for greater flexibility in design and size. The right choice depends on your specific space needs, budget, and desired level of structural change.",
