Demand for ADUs continues to grow in Battle Ground and nearby communities as families seek flexible housing options without the cost and disruption of moving. Converting a garage or outbuilding requires careful attention to framing, electrical, plumbing, and finishing that meets current building codes. Tools and materials are chosen for efficient installation and long-term durability, especially in structures that may not have been designed for full-time occupancy. Each project is customized to fit the existing structure and the intended use.

Set up an ADU design and code assessment to explore conversion options for your ADU and garage conversions Battle Ground project.

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.

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.
