ADUs & Additions
Convert the garage, build a backyard ADU or add a second story.
We self-perform ADUs, garage conversions, and home additions from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. Layout, utilities, permits, and construction, all under one roof. You get living space that looks like it was always part of the home, built by the team that designed it.
- Licensed, bonded and insured, CSLB #1119054
- One team designs, permits and builds
- Our own crews self-perform the work
- Veteran-owned and family-operated
Service Overview
ADUs Worth Living In
An ADU is not a shed with a bed. It is a home, and we build it like one.
We start with what your lot allows, then design around it.

Timeline
What Shapes Your Timeline

Detached ADUs and additions usually require more planning than cosmetic remodels because utilities, structure, and city review are involved.
- 02
Garage conversions may have a different path than new detached construction, depending on existing conditions.
- 03
Permit timing varies by city, consultant needs, and the completeness of the drawing package.
Planning
What We Plan For
- Setbacks, height limits, and lot coverage
- Utility connections and service capacity

ADUs & Additions Questions
What is the difference between an ADU and a home addition?
An ADU is typically a separate living unit with its own essentials, while an addition expands the main home. The right path depends on your property, goals, city rules, and budget.
Can you help with ADU permit coordination?
Yes. We help organize the planning, drawings, consultant coordination, and city submittal steps needed for ADU and addition projects.
