ADU & Garage Conversion in Encino
We converted a 400-square-foot garage in Encino into a one-bedroom, one-bath rental unit. The build included foundation work, new plumbing, new electrical with a subpanel, a mini-split, a kitchen with slim shaker cabinets, a quartz countertop, and LG appliances, and a bath with Italian tile. It passed inspections and received a certificate of occupancy. The owners asked for it in under four and a half months, and it was done in two. Encino lots north of Ventura Boulevard often have a garage that can do the same.

ADU & Garage Conversions in Encino
From garage to certificate of occupancy
A garage becomes a legal unit only when it passes as a dwelling. That means footings and drains in the slab, insulation, egress, energy code, and utilities. The Encino unit passed every step.
How it works
Premier Hi-End Builders builds ADUs and garage conversions across Greater Los Angeles, including garage conversions, detached backyard units, and attached or junior ADUs. We handle feasibility, plans, engineering, Title 24, plan check, construction, inspections, and the certificate of occupancy.
We check setbacks, height, utilities, fire access, and the existing slab and framing. You learn what the lot allows before paying for plans.
An architect draws the unit and an engineer covers footings and any structural changes. Title 24 energy calculations go in the same set.
We file with LADBS or your city building department and answer corrections. California sets review deadlines for ADUs, and we track them.
We build the footings, plumbing, electrical with a subpanel, framing, insulation, and drywall, and schedule each inspection as that stage is finished.
We finish the kitchen, bath, floors, and paint, then pass the final inspection. The job is done when the unit has its certificate of occupancy.

FAQ
Common questions about adu & garage conversions in Encino
Construction took two months. The owners had asked for it within four and a half months.
Usually, on flat lots north of Ventura. LADBS checks the slab, ceiling height, egress, and utilities. Hillside lots south of Ventura have more limits.
Most single-family lots can. We did a garage conversion in Encino and turned a 400-square-foot garage into a one-bedroom, one-bath rental with a certificate of occupancy. The slab, ceiling height, and utilities decide the scope.
Our Encino conversion was built in two months once permits were in hand. Plan check time depends on your city. Detached ADUs take longer because the foundation and shell are new.
