Converting A Attached Or Detached Garage In Los Angeles

Out of your two possible ways, converting your Los Angeles garage is more quick and cheap way to add extra space and money to your homes.  The time frame for a Los Angeles garage conversion is typically between 1-2 months because you already have a foundation, 3 walls and a roof to work with, due to your garage already existing. Adding electrical, plumbing, floor long and such takes less time when you already have a base. The decorating phase can be quicker depending on how much detail and items you plan on adding.  ADU's will take longer as the building will come from the ground up.
