ADU Types
ADU Types We Design and Build
Every property is different. We help you match the right ADU format to your lot, budget, and long-term plans.
Detached ADUs
400–1,200 sq. ft. backyard homes ideal for rental privacy and long-term tenants.
Best for larger lots or homeowners seeking maximum flexibility.
Garage Conversion ADUs
Convert existing garages (200–600 sq. ft.) into fully engineered living spaces.
Great entry point for budget-conscious projects.
Attached ADUs
Additions connected to the main home, often 500–900 sq. ft. for family living.
Ideal when utility tie-ins and access are straightforward.

Costs & ROI
What Does an ADU Cost?
Budget depends on size, site conditions, finishes, and utility upgrades. We use transparent allowances so you can invest with confidence.
Garage Conversion ADUs
$80k–$120k
Most cost-effective entry point. Ideal when the existing structure is sound and utilities are nearby.
Detached Backyard ADUs
$135k–$180k
New standalone structures with full kitchens, baths, and privacy—more flexibility in size and layout.
Attached ADUs
$65k–$100k
Pricing tied to structural tie-ins, shared walls, and upgrades required to integrate with your home.
Rental ROI Snapshot
If your ADU rents for $2,500 per month, that equals $30,000 per year in gross rental income—meaning your initial investment can often be recouped in just 2–3 years, making this one of the strongest improvements you can make.
