Common Questions

Garage Conversion ADU FAQ

Yes. California's ADU laws allow most garages to be converted. AllCare assesses your property, handles all design and permits, and manages construction start to finish.
Garage conversion ADUs typically range from $80,000–$180,000 depending on size, existing condition, and finish quality. This is generally the most affordable ADU type. AllCare provides a fixed-price proposal after your Opportunity Audit.
Under California law, you are NOT required to replace parking when converting a garage to an ADU if the property is within a half mile of public transit. AllCare will assess your specific situation during the Opportunity Audit.
Most garage conversion ADUs take 4–8 months from design to completion. The permit process for conversions is often faster than new construction ADUs. AllCare manages all permits in-house.
