Frequently Asked Questions About ADU Construction

1. What is an ADU and how can it help my Los Angeles property?
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a secondary living unit on the same lot as your main home. ADUs add livable space, can generate rental income, house extended family or aging parents, and often increase long-term property value while maximizing your existing square footage.

Yes. We handle garage conversions, basement apartments, and other space conversions. We evaluate the existing structure, utilities, and zoning rules, then recommend the best approach and coordinate architectural plans.

Timelines vary based on scope, permitting, and site conditions. Typical projects take 4–9 months from early planning through final inspection, with permitting often being the biggest variable. We provide schedule estimates as part of your proposal.

Yes. A building permit and building permit application are required for most ADU projects. We assist with the entire permitting process, including fees and inspection coordination, to ensure your ADU meets local building codes.

We build detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, basement apartments, carriage houses, and “granny flats.” We can also design accessible dwelling units on request.

Zoning rules, property lines, side and rear setbacks, and parking requirements all impact what you can build. We review these regulations early in the process and provide ADU design options that are compliant with local codes.
Yes, ADUs can often be leased for rental income, subject to local rental regulations. Property taxes may change if the ADU increases assessed value; we recommend speaking with a local assessor or tax advisor for specific tax impacts.
Common options include renovation loans, HELOCs, construction loans, and sometimes local ADU incentive or assistance programs. We can refer you to lenders experienced with ADU financing.

Some ADUs share utilities with the main home, while others have separate utility connections or meters, depending on code requirements and project goals. We coordinate all utility connections and advise on metering.

We provide site evaluation, ADU design coordination, architectural plan support, permit application assistance, full construction, on-site management, inspection coordination, and a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Costs depend on size, ADU type (detached vs conversion), finishes, and site conditions. We offer free estimates and a transparent cost breakdown during the proposal phase—no hidden fees or surprise change orders.

Yes. We strictly follow California contractor laws, including deposit limitations and clearly defined payment milestones, to protect homeowners and keep the process fair.
