Why Choose a Custom ADU or backyard home in Sacramento County?

Attached ADU

Detached ADU Conversions

An attached ADU is a secondary housing unit that is physically connected to a primary residence. This type of dwelling can be constructed as an addition to the side, back, or on top of an existing home or garage, sharing at least one wall with the main structure. Attached ADUs can also involve converting existing spaces within the primary home, such as basements or garages, into independent living areas. These units have separate entrances and make great living spaces for family members or rental units.

Build Upon Your Greatest Asset

Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are essentially small homes built separately from the primary dwelling. They have their own entrance, foundation, walls, roof, and utilities, and are located in back, side, and front yards depending on space availability. Detached ADUs maximize privacy, making them a great choice for family members returning home, long or short-term rentals, and home offices.

Detached ADU conversions involve transforming an existing, detached structure into an ADU. This includes detached garages, pool houses, sheds, etc. Like newly built detached ADUs, these ADU conversions have their own entrance, foundation, walls, roof, and utilities. This process repurposes underutilized space to create a private, independent living area for family members and rentals.
