Can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert a 2 car garage with 2

still need to find out. Assuming that it is cosmetic and can be
removed, what other factors need to be considered and does anyone have
any experience with this and can give me an estimate cost for a project
like this?

Of course, it can, but the question I would ask is are you really,
really sure you want to? The disadvantages far outweigh the advantages
imo unless you have some wide vehicle/apparatus that can't clear the
current door.

Having had a single-door double-car garage, I wished daily I could have
gone the other way (but most particularly in the winter when the snow
was out and blowing). The double door is heavier and more expensive to
maintain, there then is only "the whole thing is open or none", and
with a center column between the two the door has to be even wider than
for a standard double-wide.

IMO, YMMV, IMO, $0.02, devil's advocate, etc., etc., etc., ...


Agree. If OP really want to convert, make sure keep the doors and
sidings (if vinyl) for the center column somewhere. When he needs
to sell the place, the two door garage will be more appearing to
potential buyers (in most cases).
