What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary residential unit built on the same property as a primary home. ADUs can be used as rental units, guest houses, home offices, or housing for family members. They are fully functional living spaces that typically include a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and bedroom.

Do ADUs increase property value?
Yes. Adding an ADU can significantly increase your property’s value while also creating rental income potential. Many homeowners see strong returns on investment from ADU construction.
Can the ADU have its own utilities?
Yes. ADUs can have separate utility connections, including electricity. In some cases, homeowners choose to install a dual electric meter so the ADU has its own billing.
Do you offer financing?
While we do not directly provide financing, we can connect you with trusted lenders who specialize in ADU loans to help make your project more affordable. **need to add to this section
