How does Garage Conversion work?
Feasibility and permits
We check zoning rules, ADU ordinances, and HOA restrictions, then prepare and file permitted drawings.
Structural and envelope
Garage door opening is framed in, new exterior door and windows are set, and the slab is prepped for flooring.
Mechanical rough-in
Electrical panel upgrades, circuit runs, plumbing stubs (if a bathroom is included), and mini-split lines are roughed in and inspected.
Interior finish
Insulation, drywall, flooring, paint, and trim complete the space to full residential standards.

Our team handles every phase from zoning research through final inspection, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors or chase permits on your own.

Garage Conversion questions, answered.
Can a garage conversion be rented as an ADU?
In most cities, yes — with proper permits and an approved ADU designation from your local building department. Requirements vary by municipality and include minimum ceiling height, egress windows, ventilation, and sometimes a separate utility meter. We research your jurisdiction's ADU rules, handle the permit process, and ensure the finished space fully qualifies for legal rental occupancy.
Do I need to add HVAC to a garage conversion?
Yes, any habitable space legally requires conditioned air for occupancy approval. A ductless mini-split is the most efficient and practical solution for a converted garage because the space typically cannot connect to the home's existing duct system. We size the unit to the converted square footage and install it as part of every conversion project, included in the permit scope.
What homeowners say about garage conversion.

"They finished our basement two days early and the inspector had zero notes. Crew was tidy and professional."
