The ADU
Free 30 min. Feasibility, Design, and permitting consultation.
California's ADU laws favor homeowners, provided that their ADU is not too large. I recommend building a “Statewide Exemption ADU” of less than 750 sq ft. with four-foot setbacks. In almost all cases, local jurisdictions must allow this type of ADU to be built.

The JADU
Free 30 min. Feasibility, Design, and permitting consultation. A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) is a smaller, self-contained living space that is typically located within a single-family home. It usually consists of a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small kitchenette, and it must have a separate entrance. JADUs are designed to provide affordable housing options and can serve various purposes, such as housing family members, renters, or guests.
Key features of a JADU typically include:
1. **Size:** JADUs are generally limited to a maximum of 500 square feet.
2. **Entrances:** They must have independent access separate from the main dwelling.
3. **Kitchen Facilities:** While a full kitchen isn’t required, a kitchenette with cooking and food preparation facilities is necessary.
4. **Permitting:** They often have simplified permitting processes compared to larger accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
The Garage Conversion
Free 30-minute feasibility, design, and permitting consultation. Services for homeowners interested in garage conversion. A Structural Engineer may be necessary to evaluate the garage's structural condition. Homeowners should carefully analyze the cost of upgrading the structure to ensure it complies with the building and fire codes.
A compact one-car garage has the potential to be transformed into a functional studio space. This conversion allows for creating a cozy area that can serve various purposes, such as an art studio, a home office, or a personal retreat. By utilizing the existing structure, you can enhance the interior with insulation, lighting, and flooring to make it comfortable and inviting. With careful planning and design, this small space can become a versatile and inspiring environment tailored to suit your creative or professional needs.
Transform your garage into a stunning 400 square foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU)! This conversion maximizes space and offers a unique living area ideal for visitors, rental opportunities, or even a home office. With careful design and modern amenities, your newly converted ADU can provide both comfort and functionality. Don’t miss out on the chance to enhance your property and increase its value with this creative and versatile solution!
