Questions
Garage Conversions questions
Do I need a permit to convert my garage?
Yes. Turning a garage into living space is a change of use and needs city approval. Karp handles the plans, permit and inspections for you.
Can a garage conversion become a legal ADU?
Often, yes. Many garages can become a permitted ADU with their own entrance, kitchen and bathroom. We will tell you at the consultation whether yours is a good candidate.
Will the conversion add real living space?
Yes. A permitted conversion is finished to the same standard as the rest of the house: insulated, heated and cooled, with proper floors, lighting and trim.
What happens to the garage door opening?
It depends on the design. Some conversions keep the door, others replace it with a wall, windows or a new entrance. We walk you through the options at the consultation.
What happens at the first consultation?
We come out, look at the garage and explain how we would handle each part of the conversion. It is free, takes about 30 minutes, and a written estimate usually follows the next day.
