Garage Conversion · Canoga Park

Garage conversions in our own backyard

Canoga Park's older tract homes near Sherman Way commonly came with a detached garage, and those structures are usually solid candidates for conversion into a studio or one-bedroom ADU. Because the foundation, roof, and framing already exist, a garage conversion is typically the most budget-friendly way to add an ADU on a property here. California state law also removes a common obstacle: cities cannot require you to build a replacement parking space when an existing garage is converted.

Before You Start

What to check before a garage conversion in Canoga Park

Canoga Park's older tract homes near Sherman Way commonly came with a detached garage, and those structures are usually solid candidates for conversion into a studio or one bedroom ADU.

  • Size and condition. We check the slab, the structure and the roof before we plan the layout.
  • Parking. State law generally does not require you to replace parking lost to a garage conversion, but rules vary by property, so we confirm the rule for your address.
  • Utilities. We plan for power, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation and egress so the unit is legal and comfortable.
  • Permits. The City of Los Angeles handles permits through LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. We prepare the plans and submit them.
  • Access. Narrow streets and slopes change how materials and crews reach the site, and we plan for it early.
Our Process

How a garage conversion project runs in Canoga Park

  1. Site visit and feasibility check (size, slab, utilities, setbacks)
  2. Design and drawings
  3. Permits and plan review
  4. Construction: framing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, kitchenette and bath
  5. Final inspection and move in

Read our garage conversion vs. detached ADU guide and our ADU cost guide. Timing depends on the size of the project and how long permit review takes, and we share a written schedule after the site visit.
