"I am so happy with the entire Affordable team. Our process started by meeting Dave the owner. He personally came out and measured the space then sat at our kitchen table to learn more about us and how we planned to use the space. He then turned around the quote same day. Even after sending the quote Dave continued to work through options - he returns calls quickly and followed through on every promise he made. The actual â build-crewâ could not have been any better. They worked through heat, humidity and extreme storms on a Tuesday only to be greeted by snow, ice and below freezing temps on Wednesday. Led by Eric, the entire crew was engaged and laser focused on quality of work. They treated our home/yard, pets and people with tremendous respect and courtesy. This crew met our budget, our schedule and exceeded our expectations."

"Better late than never. Can't say enough about the team at Envy. From start to finish Scott and Bill were in constant contact either in person or by text. If we had questions, they answered promptly. There aren't enough words to say about the master craftsman, Oleg. He is hardest worker and a perfectionist!!!!! He doesn't settle for OK, he strives for the best. My husband was in the "trade" as a custom cabinet maker for many years. We remodeled 4 houses ourselves over a 30 year period. Needless to say, he is very particular and knows the business. So, coming from him to be so pleased with our bathroom remodel says alot!!!! Many thanks for our beautiful bathroom, Mort & Jan Krogstad"

"I can't say enough great things about this company. Sadov basement solutions transformed our completely unfinished basement to this beautiful addition to our home. Even with adding a bathroom and a wet bar, they finished quickly and within budget. The communication and attention to detail was impeccable and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for any kind of home remodeling. Jarek and Robert were accommodating to any changes we wanted to make, flexible and offered expert guidance during the project. We received several quotes for the basement and Jarek was the only contractor to suggest leaving the ceiling unfinished and painted black for tax reasons. We got 7 other quotes and not a single contractor told us that because it would mean less money in their pocket, but Sadov did because their main priority was customer satisfaction. Sadov did such a fantastic job for a really fair price. We are so happy with the final product. Don't bother with other contractors. These guys are the best."

"I am so grateful to Grandview Construction for our beautiful, new kitchen and master shower! They also painted our entire first floor including the trim. Our experience with Jeremy and his wonderful crew was A+mazing! Their workmanship was excellent, and Jeremy was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. The crew was friendly, professional and clearly experts at what they do. One of them has almost 30 years of experience in the industry. Jeremy and his crew provided many helpful details about the project from start to finish and was quick to let us know if any issues arose. When they had to make any adjustments they explained the reasons and were very patient in answering all of our questions and since this was our very first kitchen remodel we had a lot of questions. The project was completed on time and stayed within the very fair competitive estimate he gave us in the beginning, and we could not be happier with the gorgeous finished product.

The typical timeline for completing a garage-to-ADU conversion spans approximately three to six months, encompassing planning, permitting, construction, and final inspections. Projects requiring substantial structural modifications or encountering material delivery delays may extend beyond this timeframe. Working with an experienced general contractor who efficiently coordinates various trades and maintains consistent progress can significantly improve project efficiency and reduce unnecessary delays.
Converting a garage into an ADU typically requires obtaining building permits and potentially specialized electrical, plumbing, and mechanical approvals. Requirements vary significantly between jurisdictions, making consultation with local planning departments essential. Most municipalities mandate specific features, including dedicated entrances, proper emergency egress windows, and verification that the structure meets current residential safety standards. Proceeding without proper authorization risks potential penalties and complications during future property transactions.
California has implemented some of the nation's most supportive ADU regulations to address housing availability challenges. Recent legislation has streamlined approval processes, and local jurisdictions generally must approve projects meeting state guidelines. Nevertheless, individual municipalities may impose additional specific requirements regarding design, parking, or utility connections. Consulting with your local planning department remains essential for understanding the particular regulations applicable to your property.
Converting a garage to an ADU typically increases your property's assessed value, resulting in higher property tax obligations. The specific tax implications depend on your local assessment methods and how substantially the improvements enhance your property's value. While this represents an additional ongoing expense, many property owners find that potential rental income or increased property marketability offsets these higher tax obligations over time.
To qualify as a legal ADU, your converted garage must typically include a separate entrance, functional kitchen facilities, a complete bathroom, adequate natural light, proper ventilation systems, and full compliance with local building codes. Emergency egress provisions and appropriate climate control systems are also generally required. Many jurisdictions establish minimum and maximum size parameters, making consultation with your local building department essential for ensuring your conversion meets all legal requirements.
For many property owners, the potential rental income from a converted garage ADU makes the investment financially worthwhile. Monthly rental payments can help offset mortgage obligations or fund additional property improvements. The actual profitability depends on various factors, including local rental demand, the quality and size of your converted space, and your ability to maintain consistent occupancy. With careful planning and quality execution, many homeowners recover a substantial portion of their investment through ongoing rental revenue.
