Garage conversions and granny flats are two descriptions of the same thing; accessory dwelling units or ADUs. What’s an ADU? Basically any new or converted structure on your property that is built as an independent living unit. That could be a conversion within your main home, a converted garage, or even a brand new structure built on your property that meets certain Los Angeles size requirements.

When you’re looking into a garage conversion to build a granny flat ADU, you have two initial choices to make. One is whether to try to convert the garage “as-is” without expanding or building on top of the current structure. The other is to commit to those alterations.

A third alternative is to raze the garage and build a totally new structure, but if you’re trying to keep your costs down you may want to compare expenses on all three options.

An existing garage may not have enough square footage to turn it into an independent living unit. You may be forced to consider expanding the original structure, but if your desire is to keep the garage but add an apartment on top you’ll definitely need to set aside some money in the budget for structural reinforcement.

Converting a garage to an ADU is NOT the same as building one from the ground up. If you need a garage conversion, stick with contractors who have plenty of experience doing them.
