Seattle homeowners love their cars, bikes, paddleboards, and power tools—but the Pacific Northwest rain is far less affectionate. A well-designed garage protects your investments and adds significant property value. CountBricks brings AI-powered accuracy, real-time material pricing, and streamlined field-to-office coordination to every Seattle garage construction project, turning soggy storage dreams into dry, profitable reality.
• Mixed zoning and tight urban lots require surgical site planning
• Frequent rainfall mandates moisture-smart foundations and envelopes
• Seismic codes call for advanced lateral bracing and hardware

When the Ramirez family outgrew their 1920s one-car garage, they contacted CountBricks for a 24'×28' detached build with a green-roof garden. Voice capture documented every requirement in under 15 minutes. Our AI takeoff calculated framing, sheathing, and living-roof membrane quantities to the board. The estimate landed at $86,400—3% below the homeowner’s target. Construction wrapped in eight weeks, and the project now headlines our portfolio at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

CountBricks clients increasingly ask, “Can my garage become a future rental unit?” The short answer: absolutely. Seattle’s Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) regulations allow homeowners to transform a compliant garage into livable space, provided you plan ahead. Here’s how CountBricks positions your build for maximum ROI.
• Foundation – We specify load-bearing stem-walls and strategic plumbing stubs, avoiding costly slab cutting later.
• Height & Setbacks – CountBricks design algorithms cross-check your lot against current municipal code, ensuring the roofline can accommodate habitable ceiling heights.
• Utilities – Our estimates include optional rough-ins for water, sewer, and dedicated electrical sub-panels, all itemized separately so you can decide now or later.
A recent CountBricks build featured a 22'×26' garage with a pre-engineered attic truss system. Total add-on cost for future living-space readiness? $7,800. Two years later, the owner converted the attic to a 400-sq-ft studio and now rents it for $1,500 per month. The upfront planning paid for itself in just six months.
• CountBricks estimates integrate lender-ready line items, accelerating HELOC or renovation loan approvals.
• Our platform exports draw schedules compatible with major Seattle banks, reducing administrative delays.
