Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the garage conversion process take from start to finish?

The total process from initial planning and design through permits, construction, and final inspection, generally runs 3 to 6+ months for most garage conversions. Permit approval timelines vary by city department workload.

California’s updated ADU laws have relaxed parking rules, and many garage ADU conversions don’t require replacement parking, especially near transit or in areas with reduced parking standards. It depends on your city’s zoning rules.

Major cost factors include:

  • Plan preparation and architectural design
  • Permitting and inspection fees
  • Construction and labor for framing, insulation, and utilities
  • Utility connections (water, sewer, electrical)
  • Finishes like flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures

Cities with more stringent design reviews (like Newport Beach or Irvine) may also have higher soft costs.
