Garage-to-JADU, garage-to-ADU, home office and in-law suite conversions in Belmont — permitted, Title 24 compliant, and built around the hillside considerations that apply to many of the city's lots.
Belmont is a small, largely residential San Mateo County city, and a lot of its lots sit on a slope. That changes what a garage conversion needs to account for: on top of standard setback and coverage limits, hillside parcels can bring grading, drainage and sometimes geotechnical review into a project that a flatland conversion never has to address, especially if the garage is built into or below the downhill side of the house. We start every Belmont project from the site's real topography, not a flat-lot assumption we adjust afterward.
Convert your attached Belmont garage into a Junior ADU within your home's existing footprint — simpler permitting, shared utilities, up to 500 sq ft.
A full accessory dwelling unit with independent utilities, built out from your existing attached or detached garage in Belmont.
A quiet, code-compliant workspace built into your Belmont garage, without triggering dwelling-unit permitting.
Standalone Belmont garages converted into a backyard ADU, studio or guest unit, with new utility runs sized for the finished space.
We evaluate your Belmont garage's slab, framing and ceiling height against what you want to build, and confirm your lot's setback and coverage rules.
We prepare and file your permit package with Belmont's building department, including Title 24 energy calculations, and manage plan check corrections.
Framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC rough-in built to the approved plans.
We schedule and walk through final inspection with Belmont, then hand you a finished, permitted space.
We know the difference between a JADU and an ADU cold, and scope your project to the one that actually fits your goals.
Full California contractor's license and insurance coverage — ask to see it.
Belmont's hillside parcels often need grading, drainage and sometimes retaining details that flat-lot conversions skip — we build those in from the start.
Existing garage slabs, framing and rooflines aren't automatically reused or automatically torn out — we assess what's structurally sound first.

Often, yes. Hillside lots in Belmont can trigger grading review and drainage requirements depending on the slope and how the garage is sited relative to grade. We flag this during the site walk so it's built into your plans from the start instead of surfacing as a correction later.
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 scope and whether hillside conditions apply — a straightforward flatland JADU typically moves faster than a hillside conversion. We can't promise the city's timeline, but drawings prepared against your lot's real conditions are the biggest lever on how many correction cycles you go through.
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.
