ADU Construction Services by Eco Grizzly
California law has made it more straightforward than ever to add an accessory dwelling unit to a residential property. Eco Grizzly is an ADU contractor serving Southern California that manages projects from initial feasibility assessment through final occupancy. Their scope covers architectural plans, city permits, utility connections, and full construction.
Whether a property owner is looking for a detached backyard cottage, a garage conversion, or a junior ADU created from existing interior space, Eco Grizzly works to deliver a finished, permitted living space. Common motivations for building an ADU include generating rental income, accommodating multigenerational living, or creating a dedicated home office.
Types of ADUs Eco Grizzly Builds
Eco Grizzly handles several categories of accessory dwelling units, depending on the site conditions and the homeowner's goals:
- Detached ADUs: Standalone backyard structures up to 1,200 square feet, built as separate units on the property.
- Garage conversions: Transforming an existing attached or detached garage into a fully permitted living unit — a practical option for properties where backyard space is limited.
- Junior ADUs (JADUs): Units up to 500 square feet created within the footprint of an existing home, often at a lower overall cost.
- Above-garage ADUs: Built where site conditions allow, adding a unit on top of an existing garage structure.
As a JADU contractor and garage conversion contractor, Eco Grizzly covers a range of ADU types that suit different lot sizes, budgets, and zoning situations across Southern California.
Permits, Regulations, and the Construction Process
California Senate Bill 9 and AB 68 streamlined ADU permitting statewide, and most jurisdictions are now required to approve ADU plans within 60 days. Eco Grizzly prepares all necessary documentation, including architectural drawings, structural calculations, Title 24 energy compliance documents, and permit applications. They also coordinate with utility companies for new water, sewer, and electrical service connections.
Once permits are approved, construction typically takes three to six months. The team handles foundation, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and finish work. City inspections are scheduled at each milestone, and property owners receive regular progress updates with photos throughout the build.
Eco Grizzly holds CSLB license #1077111 and carries full general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every project. Each project is assigned a dedicated project manager who serves as a single point of contact from design through the final walkthrough.
Before any work begins, clients receive a written, itemized estimate. Eco Grizzly provides a detailed project schedule with milestones at contract signing and handles all required building permits and city inspection scheduling on behalf of the homeowner.
In addition to ADU construction, Eco Grizzly offers related home improvement services including roofing, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, general renovation, mold remediation, and attic insulation — primarily serving Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, and Riverside counties.
