What we build

ADUs we build in Garden Grove

An ADU (accessory dwelling unit) is a second, separate home on your property. Families build them for parents, grown children, guests or rental income. We build four kinds:

Detached ADU

A new standalone home in your backyard, with its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom.

Attached ADU

A new unit built onto your existing house, with its own entrance.

Garage conversion

Your existing garage turned into a full living space.

JADU (junior ADU)

A smaller unit created inside your existing home.

Not sure which one fits your lot? We'll look at it with you on a free site visit.

Our process

How it works

  1. Free consultation and site visit

    We come out, look at your lot, and talk through what you want to build and why.

  2. Design and plans

    We prepare the plans for your ADU and walk you through them before anything is submitted.

  3. City permits

    We handle the permit submittal with the City of Garden Grove and follow it through.

  4. Construction

    Our team builds your ADU and keeps you updated along the way.

  5. Final inspection

    We see the job through final city inspection so your new unit is ready to live in.

Permits

Permits in Garden Grove

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I build an ADU in my backyard in Garden Grove?

Many Garden Grove homeowners can, but it depends on your lot. We check your property on a free site visit and tell you which type of ADU fits.

Do you handle the plans and permits?

Yes. We prepare the plans and handle the permit submittal with the City of Garden Grove, then build the unit and see it through final inspection.

Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

Yes, garage conversions are one of the ADU types we build. On the site visit we'll look at whether your garage is a good fit and explain your options.

What's the difference between an ADU and a JADU?
