Common Questions
ADU Construction Questions Answered
Have questions about your upcoming kitchen remodel? Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive from homeowners.
Detached ADUs typically cost $250-$500+ per square foot. A 600 sq ft studio might range $150,000-$300,000. Garage conversions are $150-$350 per square foot. Junior ADUs cost $50,000-$150,000. We provide detailed estimates specific to your property and preferences during consultation.
State law requires cities to allow at least 800-1,000 sq ft for detached ADUs, with many jurisdictions allowing up to 1,200 sq ft. Attached ADUs can be up to 50% of primary dwelling square footage. Junior ADUs are limited to 500 sq ft. We evaluate your specific lot to determine maximum allowable size.
Complete timelines typically range 6-12 months including design (4-6 weeks), permitting (4-8 weeks for ministerial approval), and construction (3-6 months for detached ADUs, 2-3 months for garage conversions). Straightforward ADUs take 6-8 months total, while complex projects take 10-12 months.
Yes, absolutely. Studio ADUs typically rent for $1,500-$2,500 monthly, one-bedrooms for $2,000-$3,000, and two-bedrooms for $2,500-$3,500+ depending on location and quality. California law protects homeowners' rights to rent ADUs on long-term or short-term basis subject to local regulations.
No parking is required for most ADUs—including units within half-mile of transit, in historic districts, converted from garages, or where street parking permits are required. During assessment, we evaluate specific parking requirements applicable to your property under current regulations.
Yes, your assessed value will increase by the ADU's construction cost. A $200,000 ADU at 1.2% tax rate increases annual taxes by approximately $2,400. However, rental income often exceeds this—a unit generating $2,500 monthly produces $30,000 annually, far exceeding the tax increase.
