“Electrical service is the most common budget surprise in garage conversions. Most detached garages have a 20-amp subpanel fed by a small wire from the house. A full ADU needs a 100-amp subpanel with dedicated circuits for kitchen, bath, HVAC, and EV charging. The electrical upgrade alone often runs $6–12K. Always get an electrical assessment early.”
Run conduit for future EV charging during the conversion, even if you're not installing a charger now. A 1-inch conduit from the garage subpanel to the exterior of the building costs $200–300 during construction. Retrofitting conduit after the walls are closed costs $1,500–3,000. Pre-run the conduit and cap the ends; charge when ready.
Most garage conversion projects in Woodland Hills that involve structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical changes require LADBS permits. Working without required permits in Woodland Hills creates unpermitted improvement disclosure obligations at sale. Your contractor should pull all required permits before work begins — this protects both your investment and your legal standing.
Verify CSLB license at cslb.ca.gov, request 3+ references from completed garage conversion projects in Woodland Hills or nearby, confirm active insurance and worker's comp coverage, and ensure the contractor can explain the permit process for your specific project. Contractors who know Woodland Hills's local conditions, permit office staff, and inspection procedures complete projects faster with fewer complications.
