Very cool

Call me crazy but I'd rather the bathroom to be where the bedroom is and make the whole thing more of an opened up suite. Walk-in shower, keep that walk-in closet but being dual walk in between the main area and bathroom. I absolutely love the outside stairs. I've been looking at some other garage ADU apartment style set ups and they build this stairs from inside the garage. This concepts allows a better open space, which I love!

Sorry Ryan, just saw this. When I use LVP, I use Lifeproof from HD. I believe it is made by Mohalk.

Can you do the plumbing work after you pour the concrete. On a above garage apartment

Yes, but cheaper and way less work before... but dont let that stop you.

My dad has a huge garage with tall ceilings. Enough for a loft. I wonder if he can convert it into an ADU? That would be a nice income for his retirement.

yes, fire rebuild.

Not unless the current structure is on a footing/foundation that is required for a two story building.

Thanks for this! Are these projects starting from two car garages and just building upwards?

This one, and most I have or tour are build new. You can add a second story in some cases, but most of the time it is easier/cheaper to start new.

Is that normal for Bay Area to charge 400 or $500 per square foot?@@ThatADUGuy

Maybe a dumb question but was this space above the garage already there and then plumbing walls and stuff were added or was there a roof on the garage before the conversion?

This unit was about $120k but the owner is a bulder. The price you were quoted sounds high to me. To reduce cost, consider a super simple design, building less sf and self managing. Thanks for the veiw!

Hello Sara, you were quoted a very high figure. I am a designer specializing in residential remodel, ADU's and additions, and very recently I had a contractor quote a homeowner a figure around $180,000 for a 2nd story ADU addition to an existing garage with a slightly larger area, around 850 sqft ... this is city of Los Angeles.
