Main Types of ADUs We Specialize In

If you’re considering adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your property, you’ve likely encountered a variety of options. ADUs are versatile, providing additional living space, rental income, or even a home office. At ADU Builder and Construction, Inc., we specialize in designing and building various types of ADUs tailored to meet your specific needs. Below, we highlight the main types of ADUs we specialize in, helping you choose the best option for your property.

Detached ADUs

Detached ADUs are standalone units that are separate from the main house. These units offer the most privacy and flexibility, making them ideal for use as a guest house, rental unit, or even a private home office. Detached ADUs can be custom-built to fit your available space, whether you have a large backyard or a more compact area. Because they are separate from the main residence, they can be designed with their own unique style, complementing or contrasting the main house as you prefer.

Attached ADUs

Attached ADUs are connected to the main house but have their own private entrance. These units are perfect for extended family living arrangements, such as an in-law suite, or as a rental unit that maintains a close connection to the main home. An attached ADU can be designed to blend seamlessly with the existing structure, preserving the aesthetic of your home while adding valuable living space. They are often built as additions to the side or back of the house, utilizing existing walls to reduce construction costs.

Garage Conversion ADUs

Garage Conversion ADUs involve transforming an existing garage into a livable space. This type of ADU is a popular choice because it makes use of existing structures, reducing the overall cost of construction. Garage conversions are ideal for homeowners looking to add a rental unit, a home office, or additional living space without altering the footprint of their property. With thoughtful design, a garage conversion can be as comfortable and stylish as any other type of ADU, offering a practical solution to maximize your property’s potential.

Basement ADUs

Basement ADUs are units created by converting an existing basement into a fully functional living space. These ADUs are a great way to utilize underused space, especially in homes with basements that are already partially finished. A basement ADU can serve as a rental unit, a guest suite, or even a private living area for a family member. These units typically offer a separate entrance, ensuring privacy for both the main house and the ADU occupants. Additionally, because they are built within the existing structure, basement ADUs can be more cost-effective than building a new standalone unit.

Above-Garage ADUs

Above-Garage ADUs involve constructing a living unit on top of an existing garage. This option is perfect for homeowners with limited yard space who still want to add an ADU. An above-garage ADU can serve as a rental unit, guest house, or a private studio. These units maximize vertical space, allowing you to increase your property’s living area without expanding its footprint. Additionally, they can be designed to include a separate entrance, providing privacy and convenience for both the main house and the ADU occupants.

Junior ADUs (JADUs)

Junior ADUs (JADUs) are smaller, more compact units typically created by repurposing existing space within the main house. A JADU is often built by converting a spare bedroom or other unused space into a self-contained living area. These units are limited in size but can be highly functional, offering a small kitchen, bathroom, and living area. JADUs are a great option for homeowners who want to add a rental unit or accommodate a family member without undertaking major construction. They also tend to be more affordable than other types of ADUs due to their smaller size and the use of existing space.

Conclusion

At ADU Builder and Construction, Inc., we understand that every homeowner’s needs are different, which is why we specialize in a variety of ADU types. Whether you’re looking for a detached unit for rental income, a garage conversion to maximize space, or a cozy JADU for a family member, we have the expertise to bring your vision to life.
