What should I ask a garage conversion contractor during...

Mar 31, 2026

Many questions can be asked during the process but here are the questions you don’t want to skip before selecting your ADU contractor:

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured in Los Angeles, Ca.?
  • How fast can we obtain the building permit and do you see a reason why I should not be able to get it?
  • Can you provide a list of references from projects completed in the last 12 months?
  • Who will be the daily point of contact on-site?
  • What is the estimated timeline for completion, and how do you handle "change orders"?
  • Are you a turnkey garage conversion to ADU company?
  • Who is handling the design and building permit process?
  • Are finish materials included in your proposals? What is NOT included in the proposal?
