Shoreline homeowners are discovering that a garage conversion is one of the smartest investments they can make — whether the goal is rental income, a private space for family, or simply gaining functional square footage without a costly addition. Northwest Home Pros is a licensed design-build contractor with deep experience in King County permitting and garage ADU conversions throughout Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, and surrounding neighborhoods.
The City of Shoreline has been increasingly ADU-friendly, and Washington State's updated ADU laws have reduced barriers for homeowners looking to convert garages to permitted living spaces. Whether your property has a detached or attached garage, Northwest Home Pros can assess your site and design a conversion that meets zoning requirements and maximizes your investment.
Shoreline garage conversions typically cost $60,000–$120,000+ for a full ADU with kitchen and bath, depending on the size and finish level. We provide transparent, itemized estimates with no hidden fees. Call (425) 999-5003 for a free on-site consultation and estimate.
Full-service remodeling from design through final walkthrough
Convert your Shoreline garage into a fully permitted accessory dwelling unit. Complete build-out including framing, insulation, plumbing rough-in, electrical, kitchenette or full kitchen, bath, and all finishes — permitted through the City of Shoreline.
New detached ADU construction or garage-to-DADU conversions for Shoreline properties. Built to Seattle-area energy code, fully permitted, and ready for rental or family use.
Shoreline's remote-work community is growing — convert your garage to a quiet, professional home office with proper insulation, drywall, flooring, lighting, and dedicated high-speed infrastructure.
Turn your Shoreline garage into a rec room, home gym, or entertainment space. Mini-split HVAC, custom flooring, sound insulation, and professional finishes available.
Private bedroom, kitchenette, full bathroom, and separate entrance — ideal for multi-generational living arrangements. We navigate all City of Shoreline permitting and zoning requirements.
Maximize your space without sacrificing all your parking. We build the structural wall, insulate and finish the living side, and leave one parking bay fully functional.

Our Work
We recently completed a full ADU conversion in Shoreline's Richmond Beach neighborhood — an oversized two-car garage converted to a 600 sq ft one-bedroom rental unit with a private entrance off the alley, full kitchen, and modern bath. The project required coordination with King County utilities and City of Shoreline permitting, which we managed entirely.
