Key Benefits of This Service

Your conversion starts with an evaluation of the existing structure to determine what's required to bring it up to code for full-time living. You'll discuss layout options, utility connections, and finishes that match your budget and goals. In Battle Ground, where older garages and outbuildings may lack proper insulation or electrical service, upgrades are often necessary to create safe, comfortable living spaces.

White Cap Construction coordinates all framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, and finish work required for the conversion. Egress windows, ventilation, and heating systems are installed to meet code requirements. You'll see the space take shape as walls go up, utilities are connected, and finishes bring warmth and function to what was once storage or parking.

Attached and detached ADUs both offer flexibility depending on your property layout and privacy preferences. Rental units provide steady income while guest suites give family members independence. Each conversion is tailored to local codes and designed for efficient construction timelines, so you can start using or renting the space as quickly as possible.

What to Expect When You Book

Converting existing space into livable square footage raises questions about codes, timelines, and what utilities need to be added or upgraded to support full-time use.

How long does a garage or ADU conversion take?
Most conversions take six to ten weeks depending on the size of the space and the scope of work. Larger detached ADUs with full kitchens and bathrooms may take longer.
Do you handle permits and code compliance?
Yes, all permitting, inspections, and code compliance steps are managed as part of the project. You'll receive guidance on what's required and when inspections occur.
Can a garage conversion include a full kitchen and bathroom?
Yes, plumbing and electrical systems are installed to support full kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas. The layout is designed to maximize usable space within the existing footprint.
What insulation and heating options work best in Battle Ground ADUs?
Spray foam or batt insulation paired with electric baseboard heaters or ductless mini-splits provide efficient climate control. Proper insulation is essential to manage winter moisture and temperature swings.
Can we use the ADU as a rental unit?
Yes, many homeowners rent out ADUs for long-term tenants or short-term stays. You'll want to confirm local rental regulations and zoning requirements before listing the space.
