Keep in mind when converting an attached garage into living space how it
will appear architecturally. *Will the front of your house show signs of
an obvious patch job? *Will the front entry be the focal point?

We're getting ready to re-do all the siding, too. So if we make the
garage into living space then the siding would cover the existing
garage front as well as the patched over garage door and it should be
seamless.
