Every type of ADU, done in-house.
California's ADU laws made these projects easier to permit — but they're still full builds. You want one contractor accountable for the whole thing, not five subs pointing at each other.
Detached ADUs
Ground-up backyard builds from 400 to 1,200 sq ft — foundation, framing, MEP, and finish under one crew.
Garage Conversions
Turn an underused garage into a legal, permitted dwelling. Insulation, egress, plumbing, and finishes done to code.
JADUs
Junior ADUs carved out of the main house (up to 500 sq ft) — a cost-effective path when a full ADU isn't in the budget.
Permits & Plans
We handle LADBS submittals, plan check corrections, and inspections. You never chase the city.
Utility Upgrades
Panel upgrades, sub-panels, sewer laterals, and water service sized right the first time.
Turnkey Finish
Kitchen cabinetry, flooring, tile, paint, fixtures — the same finish-carpentry crew that builds our remodels.
Garage conversion cost in LA.
Most Los Angeles garage conversions land between $80,000 and $150,000. What moves the number: square footage, kitchen and bath scope, and whether the panel, sewer, or foundation needs upgrading. Detached ADUs typically run $250K–$450K depending on size and finish level.
We bid fixed and itemized after a site walk — no vague per-square-foot guesses, no surprise change orders halfway through the framing.

Common questions.
How much does a garage conversion cost in Los Angeles?＋
Most LA garage conversions run $80,000–$150,000 depending on square footage, kitchen and bath scope, and whether we need to upgrade panel, sewer, or foundation. We give a fixed, itemized bid after a site walkthrough — no surprises mid-build.
How long does an ADU take to build?＋
Garage conversions typically take 3–5 months from permit to final. Detached new-build ADUs run 6–9 months. LA's ADU ordinance has streamlined permits — most projects clear plan check in about 60 days.
Do you pull the permits?＋
Yes. We handle plans, submittals, LADBS corrections, inspections, and final sign-off. You never talk to the city.
Can I rent out my ADU?＋
Yes. California law allows long-term rentals of ADUs and JADUs. Short-term rental rules vary by city — we'll flag anything local you should confirm.
Do you build in my city?＋
We build across Los Angeles County, the San Fernando Valley, and Ventura County — including Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Tarzana, and Thousand Oaks.
