ADU Design Options
Custom Floor Plans
We work with you to design floor plans that fit your lot size and lifestyle. Whether you want a studio or a multi-bedroom unit, we create layouts that maximize space. We focus on useful room flow, natural light, and storage.
If you have special needs or ideas, we can include those in the plans. Our designs avoid wasted space and keep your ADU practical and easy to live in. You get a plan that matches your budget and goals.
Interior and Exterior Finishes
You have many options for finishes inside and outside your ADU. For interiors, choose from flooring types like hardwood, tile, or durable vinyl. Cabinets, countertops, and lighting can be selected to match your style and use.
Outside, you can pick siding materials, paint colors, and roofing styles. We help you pick finishes that last in your climate and fit the look of your main home. These details improve your ADU’s appearance and value.
Energy Efficiency Upgrades
We offer energy-saving features to reduce your utility bills and environmental impact. Options include efficient windows, LED lighting, and ENERGY STAR appliances. Proper insulation and sealing help keep the unit comfortable year-round.
You can also add solar panels or smart thermostats for more control over energy use. These upgrades lower operating costs and can increase your ADU's long-term value. We guide you in choosing the right solutions for your needs.
01 Site Preparation
We begin by assessing your property to plan the best layout for your ADU. This includes checking soil, grading, and any underground utilities. Clearing the site involves removing debris, leveling the ground, and marking boundaries.
02 Building Process
Our team follows a clear schedule to build your ADU efficiently. We start with the foundation, pouring concrete or laying slabs based on your site’s needs. Framing comes next, shaping the walls, roof, and windows to create the shell of the building.
03 Final Inspections
When construction is complete, we arrange all required city or county inspections. These ensure your new ADU meets safety and building codes. We review electrical, plumbing, structural, and fire safety standards.
Types of ADU Projects Offered
We provide a variety of ADU options that fit different property needs and goals.
Whether you're looking to add space, rental income, or a flexible living area, we
tailor each project to meet your requirements.
Detached ADUs
Detached ADUs are separate buildings from your main home. They give you the most privacy and can be placed anywhere on your property within zoning limits. These structures typically include a full kitchen, bathroom, and living area, making them suitable for long-term rentals or guests.
Attached ADUs
Attached ADUs connect to your existing home, often by remodeling or expanding available space. This option can be more cost-effective since it shares one wall with your main building, reducing construction materials and labor.
Garage Conversions
Converting a garage involves adding insulation, plumbing, and sometimes electrical upgrades. We ensure your new ADU meets safety standards and fits your needs, whether as a rental, office, or guest space.
