The ADU conversion in Sherman Oaks was finished exactly on the date promised. I already have a tenant moving in next week and the rental income will easily pay off the entire project in five years.
I needed a heavy-duty home gym in Pasadena. I was highly concerned about the existing foundation supporting heavy Olympic weights.

Booking the initial consultation online took five minutes, and the final invoice matched the upfront estimate perfectly.
Working from my dining table was destroying my back. The crew transformed my messy Silver Lake garage into a quiet home office in just three weeks. There were absolutely no hidden fees, just straightforward pricing and workers who showed up at 8 AM sharp every single day.
Getting the plumbing trenched for our North Hollywood garage bathroom was painless. The flat-rate pricing offered upfront gave me absolute peace of mind.

Homeowners in Studio City—home to landmarks like the CBS Studio Center, the historic Sportsmen’s Lodge, and the popular Studio City Farmers Market—often look for ways to expand usable living space without undergoing a full home addition. A garage-to-ADU conversion can provide the perfect solution for guest housing, rental income, or a private workspace. However, without expert planning, these projects may run into zoning complications, inefficient designs, or unexpected construction challenges.
At A1 ADU Contractor, we specialize in transforming garages into beautifully designed ADUs throughout Studio City. Our experienced team carefully evaluates each property and develops practical layouts that maximize comfort, functionality, and compliance with local building codes and regulations.
Converting a garage into an ADU is about much more than simply remodeling a space. It’s about creating a well-planned living environment that enhances your property’s functionality and value.
Our Studio City garage conversion services include:
Problem: Some garages have tight dimensions or structural limitations that make them difficult to convert into livable spaces. Solution: Our design team develops innovative layouts with flexible furniture placement, compact kitchens, and multi-purpose rooms to make the most of available space.
Problem: Studio City building regulations can influence design elements such as entrance placement, height limits, or ADU usage. Solution: We design projects that align with local planning requirements, helping streamline the permitting process and prevent approval delays.
Problem: Adding plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC connections to a former garage can be technically challenging. Solution: Our planning process integrates utilities from the beginning, ensuring smooth installation and cost-effective implementation.
Problem: A poorly designed conversion may appear disconnected from the main home. Solution: Our team focuses on cohesive designs that match your home’s architecture, materials, and exterior aesthetics.
Our services cover every design stage to prepare your project for a successful build:
Every design is developed to improve livability while increasing the long-term value of your property.

Our designers create tailored floor plans and 3D visualizations that demonstrate how your future ADU will look and function.
Once the design is finalized, we prepare permit-ready drawings and documentation to help guide your project smoothly into the construction phase.
