Garage Conversion – Accesory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
As your family grows and more living space is needed, adding a new room to your home is a great solution that comes to mind. However, this may be a more expensive and complex project then what you may have in mind. The simpler and more affordable substitute is to renovate your garage into a living space. Your existing garage consists of a strong foundation, four exterior walls and a roof.
Another, yet equally important reason to convert your garage into a living area in Los Angeles County is to provide an additional, fully independent housing unit completely separate from the main home, which can have all the necessities (kitchen, bathroom, closet, etc.).
What is an ADU
ADU is an Accessory Dwelling Unit, it is an additional unit to an existing single-family property. An ADU may or may not be attached to the primary building and are smaller than the main home and is an independent living space, equipped with their own electrical sub-panel, air-conditioning and heating unit, plumbing, kitchen and bathroom. A high quality and well-executed garage conversion adds as much as 10% to the value of your home, providing homeowners a great return on investment. A garage conversion creates additional living space, accommodating a growing family or your changing needs and requirements. The cost of a garage conversion is often more affordable than buying a bigger house. Let our team work with you to ensure that you feel comfortable with your budget!
Why should you consider it?
ADU conversions present a great opportunity: by adding livable square footage to the existing home, it is not only a rental opportunity, but will add resale value. The net result is a converted garage space into a beautiful living area and an increased value of your home.
