Garage conversions built around Sunnyvale's tract-home stock

Most of Sunnyvale was built out during the same mid-century tract-home wave, which means a lot of houses share similar lot sizes and standard two-car garage footprints — a genuinely useful starting point for conversions, since the structural condition of a 1950s or '60s garage in Sunnyvale tends to follow a predictable pattern we've seen many times. Demand for rental units here also runs high given the concentration of nearby employers, which pushes a lot of homeowners toward a full ADU with independent utilities rather than a smaller JADU. We evaluate your specific garage's slab and framing condition against that goal before recommending which path makes sense.

Preguntas Frecuentes

Preguntas que nos hacen los propietarios

It depends on your goal. A JADU is faster to permit and cheaper to build since it shares utilities with the main house, but a full ADU rents independently and tends to be what Sunnyvale homeowners choose when the plan is to lease it out separately given the area's rental demand. We'll walk through both against your budget 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.
