An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can be detached, attached, or a conversion of existing space like a garage.

How much does it cost to build an ADU?

Costs vary by location and type, but generally range from $100,000 to $300,000+ depending on size, design complexity, and materials selected.

How long does it take to build an ADU?

Typically 6 to 12 months, including design, permitting, and construction phases. Our streamlined process helps minimize delays.

Do I need a permit to build an ADU?

Yes, all ADUs require building permits. California law has recently streamlined this process, and our team handles every permit application on your behalf.

Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

Absolutely. Garage conversions are one of the most popular and cost-effective ways to add an ADU, typically at a lower cost than new construction.

Will an ADU increase my property value?

Yes. Studies show that ADUs can significantly increase property value while also generating rental income — often enough to offset construction costs over time.

What types of ADUs can be built?

We build Detached ADUs, Attached ADUs, Junior ADUs (JADUs), and Garage Conversions — tailored to your lot size, budget, and goals.

Do you handle the entire ADU process?

Yes. We provide full-service solutions — from initial site evaluation and design through permitting, construction, and final handover.

What remodeling services do you offer?

Beyond ADUs, we specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodeling, home additions, and complete interior renovations throughout Southern California.
