Accessory Dwelling Units

As an experienced Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) builder, we specialize in designing, permitting, and constructing high-quality ADUs from concept to completion. Our team manages every phase of the process in-house - from feasibility and design through permitting, construction, and final inspection - so you don't have to coordinate multiple consultants or contractors.

We work closely with homeowners to navigate local zoning codes, setback requirements, lot coverage limits, and utility connections, ensuring every ADU is fully compliant and built for long-term performance. Whether your property is in a dense residential neighborhood, a suburban subdivision, or a larger lot with unique grading or access considerations, we bring proven experience as an ADU contractor who understands how to build efficiently within real-world constraints.

Our approach is tailored, not templated. Every property, jurisdiction, and homeowner goal is different - and your ADU should reflect that.

Full-Service ADU Design, Permitting & Construction

Unlike general contractors who treat ADUs as side projects, we focus specifically on ADU planning and construction. We evaluate zoning regulations, parking requirements, fire access, and utility tie-ins early to avoid delays and costly redesigns.

Our team handles:

Site evaluation and zoning feasibility
Architectural planning and layout optimization
City and county permitting coordination
Structural, foundation, and utility construction
Interior build-out and final inspections

To learn more about how we tailor layouts and maximize usable space, visit our Custom ADU Design page. For a detailed overview of how projects move from planning to completion, see our ADU Construction Process.

Types of Accessory Dwelling Units We Build

Detached ADUs: Standalone structures that offer maximum privacy and flexibility. Detached ADUs are ideal for rental income, guest housing, or independent living while maintaining separation from the main residence.
Garage ADUs & Garage Conversions: We convert existing garages or build new garage-based ADUs that meet current building codes while efficiently utilizing existing footprints, utilities, and access points.
Backyard ADUs: Purpose-built backyard units designed to fit within setback and lot coverage requirements. These ADUs are carefully positioned to preserve yard usability while adding functional living space.
In-Law Suites: Comfortable, accessible living spaces designed for aging parents or extended family members. These units often include single-level layouts, wider doorways, and long-term livability features.
Secondary Dwelling Units: Additional residential units that comply with local definitions of secondary housing, providing flexible use options for homeowners planning for future needs.

Who ADUs Are For

Multi-Generational Families: ADUs provide independent living while keeping family close - ideal for aging parents, adult children, or extended relatives who want privacy without distance.
Flexible Living & Work Needs: Homeowners use ADUs as guest suites, home offices, or live-work spaces that adapt as needs change over time.
Long-Term Property Planning: An ADU adds functional square footage and long-term value, supporting future housing needs, lifestyle changes, or income opportunities.
Aging Parents or Adult Children: ADUs offer a safe, private alternative to assisted living or off-site housing, while remaining fully connected to family support.

Built With Local Zoning & Permitting Expertise

Every jurisdiction has its own ADU regulations - from height limits and setbacks to parking and utility requirements. We regularly work with local planning departments and inspectors and understand how zoning rules, lot conditions, and neighborhood layouts impact ADU feasibility.

Our familiarity with regional permitting processes allows us to anticipate challenges early, streamline approvals, and keep projects moving forward without unnecessary delays.

Long-Term ADU Support & Improvements

An ADU is a long-term investment, and we support homeowners well beyond initial construction. Whether you're upgrading finishes, improving energy efficiency, or adapting the space for new occupants, our team provides ongoing solutions. Learn more on our ADU Maintenance and Upgrades page.
