Garage conversion
Your existing detached garage, rebuilt into a small home.
Good at
- Reuses a structure you already have
- Often the shortest path from permit to keys
- Keeps the rest of the yard open
What we check first
- Slab condition and moisture
- Ceiling height once insulation goes in
- Whether the old structure is worth keeping at all
Fits: Garages with a sound slab and walls, or ones worth taking down to the slab and framing new.

Questions
Current rules: Seattle SDCI ADU page.
Can every garage be converted?
No. Some are too small, too low or too far gone. At the site visit we tell you plainly whether converting or rebuilding on the same footprint makes more sense.
Where does the car go?
Parking rules for ADUs have changed. We check the current requirement for your lot and include it in the feasibility summary.
