Accessory Dwelling Unit

BY CASM CONTRACTING

Are you considering adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your property? Whether you’re looking for extra rental income, a space for family members, or simply increasing your property’s value, our team is here to help. We specialize in designing and building high-quality ADUs that fit your needs, budget, and property layout.

Why Build an ADU?

ADUs are an excellent way to maximize your property’s potential. With the rising cost of housing, many homeowners are choosing to build ADUs for:

  • Rental Income: Generate passive income by renting out the unit.
  • Family Living: Give aging parents, adult children, or guests a comfortable and private space.
  • Home Office or Studio: Create a dedicated workspace or creative studio right in your backyard.
  • Increased Property Value: ADUs can significantly boost the resale value of your home.

Our ADU Construction Process

We take care of the entire process, from initial consultation to final construction. Our team ensures your ADU meets local building codes and blends seamlessly with your existing home.

  1. Consultation & Design: We’ll discuss your vision, budget, and zoning requirements to create a plan that works for your space.
  2. Permitting Assistance: Navigating city permits can be overwhelming—we’ll handle the paperwork for you.
  3. Construction & Quality Assurance: Our experienced builders will bring your ADU to life with expert craftsmanship and durable materials.
  4. Final Walkthrough: We ensure everything is up to code and ready for you to enjoy.

Detached vs. Attached ADUs

There are two main types of ADUs:

  • Detached ADUs (DADUs): A separate structure from your main home, often built in the backyard.
  • Attached ADUs: Connected to your existing home, such as a converted garage or basement unit.

Not sure which is best for your property? We’ll help you decide based on your goals, lot size, and budget.

Understanding Local ADU Regulations

Every city and county has specific zoning laws and building codes for ADUs. Our team stays up to date with the latest regulations to ensure your project complies with local requirements. From setback rules to square footage limits, we’ll handle the details so you don’t have to. We can also assist with financing options and incentive programs that may be available in your area.
