        "text": "Yes, converting an existing garage into an attached ADU is a common and often cost-effective option. This typically involves insulating walls, adding plumbing and electrical systems, installing new windows and doors, and upgrading the interior to a habitable living space. We assess your current garage structure to determine feasibility and recommend the best approach to transform it into a functional and compliant ADU, saving time and potentially costs compared to new construction.",
