Garage Conversion

Turn the space you park in into the space you earn from.

Attached garages · Detached garages · Studios · 1 bedroom

Your garage already has a slab, walls and a roof. Converting it into a permitted living unit is the least expensive route to a legal second home, and it is explicitly protected under California law.

We insulate, re-frame the opening, add windows, run new plumbing and electrical, and finish it to the same standard as a new build.

Why homeowners choose us for this

Lowest cost per square foot

Around $160 per square foot because the shell already exists.

Fast permitting

Conversions are streamlined by state law in every city we serve.

No lost yard

The footprint does not change, so your garden stays as it is.

Replacement parking not required

Cities cannot force you to rebuild the parking you convert.
