Is it cheaper to convert a garage or build an extension?andle permits and zoning requirements?
It depends on the type of extension you are looking for and the complexity of your project. If you are just wanting to create an extra room then converting a garage would generally be cheaper than building an extension, however if you want a larger space with additional features such as stairs or plumbing then building an extension may be the better option. 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.
