ADU
Maximize Your Property’s PotentialCustom ADU Construction
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are revolutionizing the way homeowners utilize their properties. Also known as granny flats, backyard cottages, or in-law suites, ADUs are independent residential units located on the same lot as a primary single-family home. At NDE Renovation (Lic.# 1140418), we specialize in designing and building high-quality, custom ADUs that seamlessly blend with your existing architecture while providing massive functional and financial benefits. Whether you are looking to generate a new stream of passive rental income, create a private haven for aging family members, or build a dedicated home office, our team takes your ADU project from vision to reality.
The Financial and Lifestyle Benefits of Building an ADU
Adding an ADU to your property is one of the smartest investments you can make. The real estate market highly values properties with permitted, move-in-ready secondary units, meaning an ADU instantly and significantly boosts your overall property value. Beyond equity, an ADU offers incredible lifestyle flexibility. For multi-generational families, it provides a perfect balance of proximity and privacy, allowing aging parents or young adult children to live independently while remaining close to the primary household. Alternatively, designing your ADU as a long-term rental unit or a short-term vacation rental can generate substantial monthly cash flow, helping to offset mortgage payments and build long-term wealth.
Types of ADUs
We Build Every property is unique, and we offer a variety of ADU solutions tailored to your specific lot size, budget, and local zoning regulations.
-
Detached ADUs: These are standalone structures built in your backyard, completely separated from the main house. They offer the highest level of privacy and are ideal for rental units or guest houses. We handle all the trenching for separate utilities to ensure complete independence.
-
Attached ADUs: These units are built as an addition to your existing home, sharing at least one wall. This is a great option if yard space is limited but you still want to significantly expand your livable square footage without eating up your entire yard.
-
Garage Conversions: Transforming an underutilized attached or detached garage into a fully habitable living space is often the most cost-effective and fastest way to create an ADU. We expertly retrofit the space with proper insulation, flooring, plumbing, and electrical systems to turn a parking space into a beautiful apartment.
Navigating Zoning Laws and Permitting
The biggest hurdle in building an ADU is often the municipal red tape. Building codes, setback requirements, and utility regulations vary wildly from city to city. As a fully licensed and experienced general contractor, NDE Renovation handles the entire bureaucratic process for you. We understand the specific state and local ADU ordinances that have recently made it easier than ever to build these units. Our team draws up compliant architectural plans, submits all necessary paperwork, pulls the required permits, and schedules city inspections. We ensure your ADU is 100% legal, permitted, and up to code, protecting you from future liabilities and ensuring the unit adds official square footage to your property’s tax records.
The NDE Renovation ADU Build Process
We approach every ADU with the same level of care and precision as a full-sized new construction project. The process begins with an in-depth design consultation to determine your goals and budget. We then create a custom floor plan that maximizes every inch of space, focusing on smart storage solutions, natural light, and open-concept living areas that make the unit feel expansive. Once permits are secured, our skilled tradesmen take over. We handle the foundation, framing, roofing, and the installation of all internal systems (plumbing, electrical, and HVAC). Finally, we finish the interior with high-quality materials—from durable flooring and custom cabinetry to modern fixtures and beautiful countertops.
