Looking for a smart way to add living space and increase your property value? Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) offer a flexible solution. Whether for your family, rental income, or a private retreat.

What is an ADU?
An ADU is a self-contained living unit with a kitchen, bathroom, and private entrance, built on the same lot as your home. Common ADU types include:
Garden Suites – Standalone backyard units for guests or rental income
Coach Houses – Private living spaces built over garages
Garage Conversions – Transforming garages into fully functional homes
Basement Suites – Independent units within your existing home
Why Build an ADU?
More Living Space – Ideal for aging parents or adult children
Rental Potential – Earn passive income with a secondary unit
Work-from-Home Solution – A quiet, separate home office
Increased Property Value – A long-term investment in your home
What to Consider Before Building
Zoning & Permits – Local laws determine where and how you can build
Utility Connections – Water, electricity, and sewage must be properly planned
Design & Layout – Smart use of space makes a small unit feel big
Budget & Timeline – Transparent costs and realistic completion schedules
Quality Craftsmanship – Durable materials ensure long-lasting results
