        "text": "Building a bonus room addition above an existing garage is a common approach, but it requires careful structural assessment. The existing garage foundation and walls must be robust enough to support the added weight and new structure. Our team evaluates the current garage's integrity and determines if reinforcements are needed to ensure safety and compliance with building codes in areas like Castro Valley or Pleasanton. This assessment is a critical first step.",
