The Space Your Family Needs
Is Already Under Your Roof
Your garage is sitting unused while your family needs more room. We turn it into a home office, guest suite, in-law unit, or rental ADU that looks and feels like it was always part of your home. Fully permitted, code-compliant, and backed by a 2-year warranty.

You've heard the horror stories.
No Budget Surprises.
No Permit Headaches.
No Room That Still Feels Like a Garage.
Your Budget, Locked In Before Construction Starts
You receive a line-item estimate covering every cost before work begins. If anything changes during construction, you approve it in writing first. No end-of-project sticker shock. No "we found something" surprises that double the bill.
Every Permit and Inspection, Handled
Building permits, Title 24 energy compliance, city inspections, California ADU law requirements. We manage the entire process so you never visit city hall, never chase paperwork, and never worry about code violations down the road.
A Space That Feels Nothing Like a Garage
Proper insulation, ductless mini-split climate control, matched flooring, and real windows. We build to the same standard as the rest of your home. The result: a space where guests genuinely cannot tell it was ever a garage.
One Team From Design to Final Inspection
No juggling architects, permit runners, and separate contractors. Your dedicated project manager coordinates design, permits, construction, and every city inspection. One point of contact who answers the phone, start to finish.

4 Steps From Empty Garage
To Finished Living Space
We Evaluate Your Garage
Free on-site consultation. We measure the space, assess the structure, check zoning, and give you an honest answer on what's possible within your budget.
Tell us what you need the space for. We inspect the foundation, ceiling height, electrical panel, and structural condition. You get a straightforward assessment of scope, timeline, and cost. No sales pitch.
Your Design Takes Shape While Permits Move Forward
Your design team creates a layout that maximizes every square foot. You choose materials and finishes. Architectural plans and permit applications move simultaneously.
Nothing sits idle. While you work with your designer on the layout, materials, and finishes, our team submits architectural plans and permit applications to the city. You approve every detail before a single material is ordered.
Construction Stays on Track
Dust barriers on day one. A dedicated project manager you can actually reach. Regular updates so you always know what's happening.
Your dedicated project manager coordinates every trade, manages the schedule, and is available whenever you have questions. All city inspections are handled by our team. The entire crew is in a group chat so nothing falls through the cracks.
Move Into a Room That Was Always Meant to Be There
After a final walkthrough, the space is yours. Set up the office. Welcome your parents. List the rental. Everything is backed by a 2-year craftsmanship warranty.
Every detail is checked against your approved design. The space is cleaned, inspected, and ready. Invite the neighbors over. They will not believe it used to be your garage. Lifetime support after project completion for any questions or issues.

“The work of Barak and his team are unmatched. Years later I brought him back to convert our garage to a storage/wreck room for the family. His style and taste are flawless. First class service, and compared to others, this team is incredibly competitive in price.”

“Inspired Builders did an excellent job converting our garage into a junior ADU. They did everything from start to finish. Eden always accommodated our requests and made sure we knew what was going to happen next. The price was very competitive and they finished within the planned time.”
