Carlsbad Garage Conversion

Better Place Remodeling's Carlsbad garage conversion service is the simplest and most-effective way to add living space to your home.

Basically, it involves examining the existing garage space and its structural integrity (checking the foundation, walls, and roof stability), developing designs, obtaining the necessary permits, and finally transforming the space with quality materials.

  • Assessing the site or property to determine if it is suitable for a garage conversion.
  • Developing a comprehensive plan for the conversion, covering aspects such as size, location, access, and interior and exterior design.
  • Creating architectural plans for the conversion.
  • If required, we obtain structural engineer plans based on the type of ADU.
  • Submitting the plans for city review and approval.
  • After approval, obtain construction or remodeling permits from the city.
  • Carrying out the conversion and construction by the approved plans.
  • Undergo city inspections during the garage conversion process.

With nearly two decades as a Carlsbard garage conversion contractor, we understand that every garage conversion project is unique, so we work closely with you to understand your vision for the new space.

    Steven N.

    My wife and I hired Better Place Remodeling on May 7, 2020, and our project was completed on August 31, 2020. Evi was the first person with whom we made in-person contact, and let me tell you, he exuded nothing but professionalism, courtesy, and respect to both my wife and me! Having hired F.A.T. Construction prior under the general foreman Tony Chavez and having a VERY POOR experience with that contractor, my wife and I were very skeptical, to say the least. Evi quickly earned our trust and our business through his constant contact and updates. He always kept my wife in the loop with all major decisions during the project. Had I not continuously kept adding more to the project, Evi and his crew would have finished a lot sooner than expected. Evi even went so far as to bring us his favorite type of coffee direct from Israel as we had a good working relationship. The one time I got frustrated at the job was nothing to do with Better Place Remodeling, but rather the City of Escondido with their slow permit approval process due to COVID-19. Even though this wasn't Evi's fault, he even brought me Starbucks coffee one night and further explained the backlog of permits. I also would like to send a shout-out to Barr and to Evi's top Landscaper Herman. Barr stepped in and helped Evi with our project when Evi's plate was full. Barr also exuded the same professionalism, courtesy, and respect to both my wife and me! Herman? What can I say? The guy has landscaping skills! Let him make suggestions to you and be open-minded about them-you will not be disappointed! Thanks, Evi, Barr, and Herman for such tremendous work on our home!
