Common questions about garage construction & conversions
What does a garage conversion involve?
Usually insulation, drywall, windows, a finished floor over the slab, electrical and often plumbing. If the result is a rentable unit, ADU rules for your city apply too.
Can a new garage be built with living space above?
Often, yes, subject to height limits and ADU rules in your city. It is worth raising early because it changes the foundation and framing design.
Do garage projects need permits?
New garages and conversions generally require building permits. Waterfront Construction helps customers obtain them.
