Call me crazy but I'd rather the bathroom to be where the bedroom is and make the whole thing more of an opened up suite. Walk-in shower, keep that walk-in closet but being dual walk in between the main area and bathroom.
I absolutely love the outside stairs. I've been looking at some other garage ADU apartment style set ups and they build this stairs from inside the garage. This concepts allows a better open space, which I love!
That design sounds cool!
Realmente hermoso. Good job
Thanks!
Can you do the plumbing work after you pour the concrete. On a above garage apartment
Yes, but cheaper and way less work before... but dont let that stop you.
I love it. How did he finance the build? Insurance claim?
yes, fire rebuild.
Curious what kind of Luxury vinyl plank you use, and where you get it from ?
Sorry Ryan, just saw this. When I use LVP, I use Lifeproof from HD. I believe it is made by Mohalk.
My dad has a huge garage with tall ceilings. Enough for a loft. I wonder if he can convert it into an ADU? That would be a nice income for his retirement.
I would look into it for sure!
Thanks for this! Are these projects starting from two car garages and just building upwards?
This one, and most I have or tour are build new. You can add a second story in some cases, but most of the time it is easier/cheaper to start new.
@@ThatADUGuy thanks so much for the quick reply. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Really interested in something like this in my next big project near the baltimore/DC area!
@@seonggkim my pleasure!
Not unless the current structure is on a footing/foundation that is required for a two story building.
Maybe a dumb question but was this space above the garage already there and then plumbing walls and stuff were added or was there a roof on the garage before the conversion?
No dumb questions here. This was a new build.
@@ThatADUGuy ok thank you. So this isn’t something that would make sense to add to an existing garage then?
In my opinion this only works for family types as if well we all need this imagine a town full of these to have garage and above it you got your family its perfect and besides having a whole neiberhoods of these isnt that bad
Great points, thank you!
What is the vanity size is bathroom? Also dimensions of the bathroom?
6x10 with a 30" vanity.
Thank you so much for great information about adu. We are planning to build our back yard adu in South Bay Area ( Palo Alto) in California but all the estimates are around 400k plus
We haven’t decided exact sq but around 700-750 with loft
If you know great adu specialist/ contractor in Northern California, please let me know. I will greatly appreciated! Thanks again
You are welcome! I do work with a company that works in your area. Feel free to email me at thatADUguy@gmail.com
@@ThatADUGuy thank you so much. We are think about working with acton adu or valley home builders but we are still looking!
@@insookjeon3195 awesome! A company I parner with, Realm, can provide you with 3 bids in two weeks time. A good option to check prices at a minimum.
@@ThatADUGuy Thank you so much! I will check it out!
Is that normal for Bay Area to charge 400 or $500 per square foot?@@ThatADUGuy
Sorry, but what's Adu stands for?
Alternative (or accessory) dwelling unit or something like that, I think.
$230 a square foot is extremely extremely high. I'm guessing this is California. That's 230,000. That's crazy
Oregon
In California contractor are asking 450 an up per sq ft.
@@javierjose6328 ouch!!!
Where did you come up with that math LOL ? Its 500 Sq feet.
Does it increase your property taxes?
It does in mose cases. Always call your tax office.
What did it cost? I was quoted $300-500k for an above garage 750 sf unit. I live in LA County.
This unit was about $120k but the owner is a bulder. The price you were quoted sounds high to me. To reduce cost, consider a super simple design, building less sf and self managing. Thanks for the veiw!
Hello Sara, you were quoted a very high figure. I am a designer specializing in residential remodel, ADU's and additions, and very recently I had a contractor quote a homeowner a figure around $180,000 for a 2nd story ADU addition to an existing garage with a slightly larger area, around 850 sqft ... this is city of Los Angeles.
@@abim2194 thanks for the intel.
@@ThatADUGuy All good. Just found your channel. Wonderful excellent information source for everyone. Keep up the good work and wish you all the very best.
@@abim2194 Thanks! Just trying to share the process.
