Many homeowners waste the space in their garage by using it as a junk storage area. However, converting it into a livable apartment can be a smart move, adding long-term equity to your home. Building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in your garage or on your plot of land is an innovative way to create a small home and contribute to the solution of the affordable housing crisis in California.

According to statistics, ADU production is sharply growing each year, for example, an 80 percent increase was registered in 2020 comparing it to 2019. ADUs are a sustainable alternative to expanding homes and respecting communities and the environment. Join the new wave of housing innovation, maximize your space, and benefit your community and bank account with an ADU conversion.

What is an ADU Garage Conversion?

In 2017, ADUs (also known as granny flats) became legal, allowing for the creation of new homes without disrupting established neighborhoods. While there are various types of ADUs, some attached to existing buildings and others on separate plots, we will specifically address the costs and logistics involved in converting a garage to an ADU or building a detached ADU from existing garages and sheds or from scratch.

How to convert my garage into a small comfortable house?

Converting your garage into a small house is a great way to make the most of underutilized space and add long-term equity to your property. However, it’s important to follow the rules and regulations when building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or granny flat.

If you’re converting a detached garage or building a new structure, setback guidelines do not apply. The maximum size for a detached granny flat is 1200 square feet, which can make for a spacious studio home. To get started, you’ll need architecture and engineering plans that comply with local building codes, which can vary by city and county.

Your plans must include specific amenities and rooms to earn approval from local regulators, including a bathroom that is at least 30 square feet with a toilet, sink, and shower stall or tub, a kitchen that measures 50 square feet, and a living room/bedroom that is 70 square feet. Building materials are also regulated, with certain siding and roofing materials prohibited. Windows must be at least double-pane glass and labeled for building use, without any exterior trim.

When considering converting your garage into an ADU or building a new structure altogether, it is important to work with a professional contractor who is experienced in ADU conversions and construction. A reputable contractor like SkyTechBuilders can ensure that your project meets all local building codes and regulations and can guide you through the process of obtaining necessary permits and approvals.

Working with a professional contractor can also help you avoid potential pitfalls and costly mistakes that can arise when attempting to convert a garage into an ADU on your own. A contractor can provide expert advice on design, materials, and construction methods, and can help you create a plan that meets your needs and budget.
