Can you convert your garage into a bedroom or suite?
Yes. A conversion closes in the garage door opening, insulates and finishes the walls and ceiling, adds windows, heating and cooling, and brings the floor up to living-space standards. Add a bathroom and it becomes a suite.
Can a garage conversion become an ADU in Phoenix?
Yes, if your lot qualifies. Phoenix lists a garage conversion as one way to create an ADU. Plan for one rule: when you convert a garage or carport, Phoenix requires equivalent parking elsewhere on the lot, not in the front setback.
Other cities' rules vary, so we check yours before design.

What does a garage conversion cost?
It depends on the space. Whether you add a bathroom or kitchen, how far plumbing has to run, the windows and doors, heating and cooling, permits and finishes set the price. We price yours after we see the space. The estimate is free.
How long does a garage conversion take?
Most garage conversions take about 2-4 months once permitted. Your schedule is set during planning.

Garage conversion questions
Do I need a permit to convert my garage?
Yes. Turning a garage into living space needs a building permit. We prepare the plans and pull it.
Can you add a bathroom to a garage conversion?
Yes. Plumbing distance to your existing lines is one of the main cost drivers, and we look at it on the first visit.
"Ramiro and Rafa were awesome. We hired R&M for our garage conversion to a game/theater/bunk room for a STR. Rafa, the project manager, was extremely responsive and you can tell the whole team takes pride in their work. We oversaw this project remotely and Rafa did a great job keeping us in the loop and updating us on the status. The finished product was amazing and the construction is very high quality. We will definitely be working with R&M again in the future!"
"Fantastic work by Ramiro and team. They provided a competitive quote. They helped with the process of permitting and HOA approvals. They provided a clear quote. He stayed in constant contact to keep us informed of progress. He made sure that quality work was done in every aspect. We converted a part of our home into an ADU and have since moved in. We are extremely happy with the finished product!"
