Additions & New Construction
New Garage Construction in Los Angeles
Whether you're replacing a garage that's beyond saving or adding one where none exists, we build detached garages from the foundation up — one, two, or three-car, engineered and permitted, not a prefab kit dropped on a slab.
How We Handle New Garage Construction
Scope includes foundation and slab work, framing, roofing, electrical, and garage door installation, all matched to your home's exterior finishes so the new structure looks like it belongs. We handle setback compliance and permits, which vary meaningfully city to city across LA County.
If there's a chance you'll want to convert the garage to an ADU or living space down the road, we can design and frame it to be ADU-convertible from day one — plumbing stubs, electrical capacity, and ceiling height planned in, saving real money versus retrofitting later.
New Garage Construction FAQs
How much does it cost to build a new garage?
A standard detached two-car garage typically runs $45,000–$80,000 depending on finishes and site conditions; larger or ADU-convertible designs cost more. Every estimate is itemized.
What are the setback requirements for a new garage?
Setback rules vary by city and lot — typically 3–5 feet from side and rear property lines for detached structures, but we confirm your exact requirements during the free site visit rather than guessing.
Can a new garage be converted to an ADU later?
Yes, if designed for it upfront — adequate ceiling height, plumbing stubs, and electrical capacity built in from the start make a future conversion far cheaper than retrofitting a standard garage.
