Frequently Asked Questions

Everything homeowners ask before building an ADU. Can't find your answer?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can be a detached backyard structure, a converted garage, or an addition to an existing home. In California, ADUs are fully legal, permitted dwelling units — meaning they can be rented independently and add significant value to your property.

Yes — and we handle all of it. We prepare the drawings, submit every application, respond to city comments, and attend all inspections. You never set foot in a government office.

A typical project runs about 6 months from signed contract to move-in, including design, permitting, and construction. You receive a written timeline guarantee.

It means the price we quote in your contract is the price you pay — every material, permit fee, and hour of labor is itemized before we break ground. No change orders, no exceptions.

Absolutely. A permitted ADU is a legal dwelling unit you can rent long-term for independent rental income, often covering a large share of your mortgage.

Our pre-designed Pacific 450 is a refined, ready-to-build plan — faster and lower cost. A custom ADU is designed from scratch to your exact floor plan, finishes, and lot.

Garage conversions start at $139,000, fixed-price. The existing structure keeps material and labor costs down compared to a new build.
