Garage Conversion Contractor in Seattle, WA

Yes. Seattle is about 55 miles north of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles garage conversions into bedrooms, offices, family rooms and in-law suites there, and the estimate is free.

It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Seattle's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.

It depends on what the garage becomes. A simple office or bedroom takes far less work than a conversion with a bathroom and kitchenette, and the condition of the slab and how much insulation and heat the space needs also matter. Greg gives a free on-site estimate once he has seen the garage.

Not if it is built right. Garage slabs in Western Washington sit on damp ground, so we put a vapor barrier and insulation between you and the concrete, insulate the walls and ceiling, and add heat and ventilation. Done that way, the room stays as dry and warm as the rest of the house.

Yes. Turning a garage into living space is a change of use, so it needs a permit and inspections for framing, insulation, electrical and any plumbing. Greg handles the paperwork and inspections with your city or county.

In many cities and counties around here, yes. Adding a bathroom, a kitchenette and its own entrance can turn the garage into an accessory dwelling unit, as long as the lot meets local rules on parking, size and utilities. Greg will check what your property allows during the estimate.
