Garage/ADU Conversion 

See How It Works

Do you have extra space on your property that you want to utilize but aren’t sure how? Does it seem like you just aren’t doing anything with your garage? If so, then you may want to consider a Garage Conversion to ADU. Here at Fig Tree Construction and Remodeling, we specialize in this process. Contact us to see how we can help you take advantage of this unique opportunity 

1. What’s an ADU? 

The acronym stands for “Accessory Dwelling Unit,” but you may have heard them referred to as “backyard cottages,” “granny flats,” or any number of other names. Essentially, these are smaller, affordable homes that homeowners can choose to build on the land next to their homes. They can be used for any number of purposes, but most commonly for housing. 

2. What’s a Garage Conversion? 

Basically, we can convert your garage into an ADU. A garage conversion could help in a variety of ways. In some cases, converting a garage to an ADU is less expensive than just building an ADU. 

It’s important to note that, when you convert your garage into an ADU, that doesn’t mean that you have to exclusively use it for additional housing. You can, of course, but you’re also able to use it for storage, an office, a gym, or even an additional bathroom - the choice is yours.

3.The Right Kind of ADU for You  

When some people hear “ADU,” they tend to think exclusively of a small home at one corner of the property. Yes, that’s a very popular kind of ADU, but it’s just one kind of ADU. We can make sure that you get the right ADU that meets and exceeds your expectations. 

So, we can convert your garage into an ADU, yes, and we can build a “Detached ADU” (one that isn’t connected to your home). But we can also build an “Attached ADU” or even an “Internal ADU” as well. Our experts can go over your options with you to find the best fit.

4.Professional Garage/ADU Conversion in Los Angeles 

At Fig Tree Construction and Remodeling, we can handle every aspect of your garage/ADU conversion. That means we can take care of the permits, the plan check, making sure that your garage conversion/ADU connects to power and sewer sources, and so forth. 

Beyond that, we also do everything that we can to make sure that the project is done for less than you might think. Here, too, we can draw upon our experience - for example, utilizing attached or detached garages to make the best possible conversion for your specific needs. 

As housing becomes more scarce, ADUs are a genuine solution, a way for people to find housing (and homeowners to find an extra revenue source). But, an ADU can be so much more than that.
