Answers for Los Angeles Homeowners

• Can I convert my garage into an ADU in Los Angeles?
  Yes. California law allows an existing garage on most single-family and multifamily lots in Los Angeles to be converted into an accessory dwelling unit, the city must approve a complete, code-compliant application within 60 days, and you generally do not have to replace the parking you lose. Because the conversion uses the garage's existing footprint, it is usually the lowest-cost way to add a legal rental or family unit.
• How long does an ADU take to build in Los Angeles?
  From the first design meeting to final inspection, an ADU in Los Angeles typically takes about 8 to 14 months. Design and engineering usually take 1 to 3 months, permit review up to 60 days for a complete application under state law (longer if corrections are needed), and construction roughly 4 to 6 months for a garage conversion or compact detached unit and 6 to 8 months for a larger or hillside unit.
• How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Los Angeles?
  In Los Angeles, a hall bathroom remodel that keeps the fixtures where they are typically costs roughly $18,000 to $40,000 in 2026, and a primary bathroom with a new layout, a curbless or tiled walk-in shower, a freestanding tub and custom vanity commonly runs $40,000 to $90,000 or more. Tile work, plumbing relocation and the shower waterproofing system are the parts of the budget that matter most for the long-term result.
• What does a general contractor charge in Los Angeles?
  General contractors in Los Angeles typically charge an overhead-and-profit markup of roughly 15 to 25 percent on top of labor, materials and subcontractor costs, whether it appears as a line item in a cost-plus contract or is built into a fixed price. On a $100,000 remodel that is usually $15,000 to $25,000 of the total, and it pays for scheduling, permits, inspections, subcontractor management, warranty and the contractor's liability for the finished work.
• How much does a room addition cost in Los Angeles?
  In Los Angeles, a ground-floor room addition typically costs roughly $300 to $600 per square foot in 2026, so a 250 to 350 square foot bedroom or family room commonly lands between $80,000 and $180,000. Second-story additions usually run $400 to $800 per square foot because the existing foundation and framing have to be strengthened to carry the new load, and bathrooms and kitchens inside an addition push the per-foot cost up.
• How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Los Angeles?
  In Los Angeles, a kitchen remodel that keeps the existing layout typically costs roughly $35,000 to $85,000 in 2026, and a full gut remodel with a new layout, moved plumbing or gas, custom cabinetry and stone counters commonly runs $85,000 to $200,000 or more. Cabinets, countertops and labor are usually the three largest line items, and moving walls or utilities adds the most cost beyond the finishes themselves.
