Garage-to-JADU, garage-to-ADU, home office and in-law suite conversions in Mountain View — permitted, Title 24 compliant, and built for a mix of older bungalows and dense infill housing.
Mountain View mixes older, smaller single-family bungalows with denser infill development near downtown and the tech corridor, and rental demand here runs about as high as anywhere in the South Bay given the concentration of nearby employers. That demand makes a fully independent ADU a common choice, but many of the city's older garages are on the smaller side, which puts real pressure on getting the interior layout right. We measure your garage's usable footprint and weigh it against your goals — rental income, family housing, or a home office — before recommending a JADU or full ADU approach.

Many homeowners here do, given how strong rental demand runs near the city's employers — a full ADU with independent utilities rents separately from the main house, unlike a JADU. We'll walk through the tradeoffs in cost, permitting speed and rental potential against your specific garage and goals.
A JADU stays within your garage's existing footprint, is capped at 500 square feet, and can share utilities with the main house — usually a simpler, faster permit. An ADU can be larger or detached, requires independent utilities, and has no owner-occupancy requirement.
It depends on project type and the city's current plan check volume — a JADU with shared utilities typically moves faster than a detached ADU with new utility connections. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've reviewed your specific garage and plans.
Yes — we prepare the Title 24 energy calculations and CF1R documentation as part of every permit package, and manage plan check correspondence directly with the city so you're not the one interpreting correction letters.
