Build an ADU and Unlock Your Property's Full Potential

California's Assembly Bill 68 and Senate Bill 13 dramatically simplified the rules for building accessory dwelling units on single-family lots across Los Angeles County. Homeowners can now add a detached ADU of up to 1,200 square feet, convert an existing garage, or build a junior ADU within the footprint of their primary residence. The city has waived many development impact fees for units under 750 square feet, making smaller ADUs particularly cost-effective. Our permit specialists stay current on every regulatory update so your project sails through plan check without costly revision cycles.

Detached ADUs are the most popular option for rental income because they offer complete privacy for tenants and homeowners alike. A well-designed one-bedroom unit in neighborhoods like Burbank, Glendale, or Pasadena can command monthly rents between $2,000 and $3,500 depending on finishes and location. Many of our clients recoup their entire construction investment within eight to twelve years while simultaneously boosting their property's appraised value by $150,000 to $300,000. For multigenerational families, an ADU provides aging parents or adult children with independent living space just steps from the main house.

Our construction process covers every phase from feasibility study through certificate of occupancy. During the initial site visit, we evaluate setback requirements, utility capacity, soil conditions, and access for construction equipment. If a garage conversion makes more structural and financial sense than a new build, we will tell you. Once design is approved, our in-house team manages foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and finish work under a single fixed-price contract. Every ADU we deliver includes energy-efficient windows, tankless water heating, and LED lighting packages that meet or exceed Title 24 requirements.
