Is it cheaper to convert a garage or build an extension?

We can discuss the different options with you and provide an estimate based on your needs. Ultimately, the decision depends on budget, space available and how you want to use the extra room.
Do I need a permit to convert my garage into a room in California?
Yes, you need to obtain a permit from the local building and safety department in order to convert your garage into a room. The permit will be based on whether you are changing the structure of the garage or not. If you are making structural changes such as enlarging an existing door or window frame, adding new walls and ceiling/floor joists, you will need a permit. The local building and safety department should be able to provide more information on the specific requirements for your area.
