What exactly is a Garage Conversion ADU?
A garage conversion ADU redesigns an existing garage or carport into a self-contained living unit that can serve as a separate dwelling on your property. This conversion allows you to repurpose the underutilized space and create a functional living area. Garage conversions have their own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and living quarters. They offer homeowners the flexibility to accommodate growing families or aging parents or even generate rental income by leasing the unit.
Benefits of Converting Your Garage to An Additional Living Space?
The decision to convert your Garage into an ADU comes with many benefits. First and foremost, it allows you to maximize the available space on your property without the need for major structural additions. You can avoid the costs and complexities of building an entirely new addition by repurposing an existing structure. Garage conversion ADUs also provide a unique opportunity to create a separate living space, offering privacy and independence to the occupants while ensuring their security. A garage conversion ADU provides incredible creativity to make a home office, a guest suite, or a rental unit on your existing property.
