ADUs and room additions in West Hollywood
ADU construction in West Hollywood where a detached garage sits at the rear of the lot, from slab and framing checks to a unit built clear of the main house.
A detached garage at the rear of a West Hollywood lot makes ADU construction the project to look at before anything else. The garage already stands apart from the house, so a bedroom, a bath and a small kitchen can go in there for a grown child or a parent while the family keeps its own rooms as they are. What has to be settled first is whether the old structure can carry its new use.
Keep the garage or start over
The garage itself gives the answer. We check the slab for cracks and look for a footing at its edge, inspect the wall studs and roof framing, and measure how close each wall stands to the property lines. A sound garage can be converted with insulation, new windows, drain lines cut in under the slab and a raised floor. A weak one is taken down and replaced by a new unit on a fresh foundation. Either path is drawn up and filed with the City of West Hollywood before any demolition begins.
The house keeps running
Because the work happens out back, the kitchen and bedrooms in the main house carry on as usual. Before demolition we agree with you on the route crews and deliveries will take, through a side gate or along the driveway. The parts that reach the house are the sewer lateral and the electrical feed, and those tie ins are set for a day that suits you so the shutoff stays short. Fences or planting beds along the route are marked at the start and put back once the unit is finished.
