ADUs & Garage Conversions
Add rental income, room for family, and real property value. Designed, permitted, and built to California code.
California has opened ADU rules wider than most homeowners realize. What's left is execution — plan check, setbacks, utilities, inspections. That's the part we handle.
What's actually possible
Whether you're adding rental income, housing family, or increasing your property value, we'll walk you through what's actually possible on your lot, what it will cost, and how long it will really take.
Detached, attached, and garage conversions
From a detached backyard unit to a garage conversion or an attached addition, we design and build to your city's specific rules. Pasadena isn't identical to Santa Monica or Palmdale — we know the difference.
Permitted and documented
Every ADU we build is permitted in our name and carried through final inspection, so the square footage is on record and appraises properly when you sell.
What homeowners ask first.
Almost certainly, if you're changing structure, moving plumbing or electrical, or adding square footage. Unpermitted work can cost you at sale, refinance, and insurance renewal — an appraiser doesn't count square footage that isn't on record. We pull the permits under our license and manage inspections through final sign-off.
Usually the answer is yes, but the details decide everything — lot size, setbacks, utilities, and your city's specific rules. Pasadena isn't identical to Santa Monica or Palmdale. Tell us your address and we'll tell you what's actually possible.
Yes. We coordinate with your architect, engineer, or designer through plan check, or we can help you find one. If you already have plans, bring them — we'll review them and tell you what plan check is likely to flag.
We'll get back to you the same day. First is a short phone conversation to understand the project, then a free site visit. After that you get a written scope and estimate. No pressure, no obligation.
Let's talk about your project.
A conversation costs nothing, and you'll leave it knowing what's realistic — what your lot allows, what the permits require, and what it actually costs.
