LGB GARAGE CONVERSION CONTRACTOR

In the state of California, many homeowners need added income, seniors need to have the choice to safely age in place. Teachers, healthcare providers, college professors, firefighters, childcare workers, municipal workers, and others with modest incomes have been displaced due to continuously rising housing costs. As institutions and corporations attract younger members of the workforce, the stability of our community’s workforce relies on their ability to live where they work. And, as workers retire, they must retain the ability to participate in their communities.

Together, we can provide gentle densification without compromising the integrity of the neighborhood’s aesthetics, improve economic activity, reduce traffic congestion, and strengthen the essential workforce needed in our communities.
