Pick the scope that fits your home
Every project is different. Here are the most common ways our clients invest in adu / garage conversions.
Attached garage conversion
Insulate, finish, add a bath and kitchenette — ~400 sq ft of new living space.
Garage apartment (above)
Add a second story over the existing garage for a true 1-bed unit with separate entry.
Detached backyard ADU
Stand-alone 400–1,200 sq ft cottage with its own utilities, address, and rental potential.
Pool house / casita
Conditioned guest suite with a bath, kitchenette, and covered porch tied into existing pool area.
The details that decide the result
ADUs live or die on sound separation, thermal envelope, and a properly sized HVAC system. We frame demising walls with staggered studs and Roxul mineral wool, spray-foam the envelope to R-21 walls / R-38 ceiling, and right-size mini-split heat pumps for the load. Separate sub-panels and dedicated water-heater circuits make future rental conversion seamless.
