Frequently asked questions

How much does a new garage cost?
Detached single-car garages typically run $30K–$55K. Two-car detached: $50K–$95K. Attached garages tied into the existing structure can be cheaper if utilities are nearby.
Do I need a permit for a new garage?
Yes — any new structure over 120 sf in California requires a building permit. Permit and plan-check costs are included in the estimate.
Can I convert this garage into an ADU later?
Yes, and it's smart to plan for it now. Roughing in extra electrical capacity and a sewer stub during initial construction saves $5K–$15K vs. retrofitting later.
