What Are Garage Conversions and ADUs?

For many people, a garage just takes up space on their property. At best, it might be used for storage. A garage conversion project empowers homeowners to make the most of their property. The most popular type of garage conversion is accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which transform a garage into a living space. The extent of the conversion can vary, but it can range from serving as an extra room to a fully equipped space with appliances and all the necessities for living. An ADU can have its own entrance, own cooking area, and even own bathroom and shower. It all depends on your vision and what you want to use the space for.

Common uses for garage conversion include:

Home office
Recreational room
Guest suite
Rental property
And more

The Garage Conversion Process

Choose Your Conversion Goals

The first step is to decide on the purpose of your garage conversion. Do you want extra space to work or relax? Do you want a guest space for visiting family or friends? Or do you want a space to rent out to supplement your income? How do you want the space to look?

Planning, Preparation, and Orders

From the moment you start working with our ADU team, the process starts moving. We are thorough with the consultation, ensuring you have the time and environment to fully communicate your goals and learn about how we can bring them into being. Each garage conversion is unique, so we want to make certain that our understanding of your goals resonates with your expectations.

We handle all the logistics, from placing orders to obtaining the necessary permits. If there is anything that could be a hassle, simply let us take care of it. We conduct full site visits to check measures, structural features, and the advantages or limitations of your current garage. Some key planning aspects include:

Designing your floor plan
Optimizing space layout for your intended goals
Adjusting plans to match local regulations
Exploring lighting solutions (garages tend to start out dark)
Enhancing safety features
Determining how plumbing, ventilation, and wiring will work

Gathering the Materials

We work with reliable providers who can supply materials year-long. This allows us to further reduce any risk for delay and continue moving along with the project smoothly. Once all the materials, fixtures, and other items arrive, you can inspect them. Sometimes, the way something looks in one’s head might not match your goals once it arrives. If all the ordered materials align with your expectations, we can begin with the renovation.

Begin Work on the Project

Once the materials are ready and your plan finalized, we can begin construction. Our ADU team will provide a timeline for the project that we stick to closely, our careful planning reducing any potential for delays or setbacks. You maintain control over the construction plan, so if something is turning out different from how you expected, you can make adjustments.
