Garage Conversions
Turn your garage into a permitted bedroom, office, or rental unit that adds real living space
A premium take on garage conversions
A garage conversion is the fastest way to add living space to a Portland-area home: the structure, the roof, and the slab are already there. SCP Construction converts garages into bedrooms, home offices, family rooms, and ADU-style rental units, handling the parts that make it legal and livable: permits, insulation, heating, windows, and a raised floor that matches the house. Because a conversion touches structure, electrical, and sometimes plumbing, it pays to have one general contractor run the whole job from permit application to final inspection.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Garage-to-bedroom, office, and living space conversions
- ADU-style conversions with kitchen and bath rough-in
- Permits, zoning checks, and inspections handled for you
- Insulation, drywall, flooring, and heating sized for Oregon winters
- New windows, doors, and exterior work to match the house
- Written workmanship warranty on the finished space
