Who builds your garage conversion

Why the license matters on a garage conversion

A garage conversion touches framing, the slab, insulation, drywall, windows and everything that makes a room livable. The B classification is the CSLB license for general building work of that kind, and the license number appears on every page of this site so you can check it yourself.

Check any contractor before you sign. The CSLB lookup shows a license's status, classification and history, and CSLB's consumer alert explains the payment limits that apply to home improvement work, ADUs included.

How Aguila works with homeowners

What you can expect on a conversion:

• A walk-through before any number is written down.
• A written estimate with City permit fees as their own line.
• Plans and permits through the City of Simi Valley Building & Safety on every conversion.
• Payments tied to work completed, as CSLB requires.
• A straight answer when the right project is an ADU, a smaller scope, or nothing at all.

Where Aguila works

Aguila is based in Simi Valley and works across the city, from Wood Ranch and Big Sky to Madera, Rancho Simi, Santa Susana and the Texas Tract. It also takes work in Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Chatsworth, Porter Ranch and Northridge, where permits go to that city's or county's building department.
