ADU Construction Services by Full Steam Ahead Construction
Full Steam Ahead Remodel & Construction is a licensed ADU contractor serving homeowners throughout the East Bay Area. They specialize in designing and building custom accessory dwelling units — from backyard cottages and in-law suites to garage conversions and detached structures. Their team manages every phase of an ADU project, from initial planning through final inspection.
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a fully functional residential space located on the same lot as a primary home. These units can take several forms:
- Detached structures built in the backyard
- Attached additions connected to the main home
- Garage conversions or basement units
- Interior conversions such as redesigned lower floors
ADUs are commonly used for multigenerational living arrangements, long-term rental income, or simply adding flexibility to a property. As an experienced accessory dwelling unit builder, Full Steam Ahead Construction works with homeowners to determine the most practical and code-compliant solution for their specific lot and goals.
What Their ADU Services Include
Full Steam Ahead Construction offers a comprehensive, start-to-finish approach to ADU construction. Their services cover:
- Site evaluation and feasibility assessment
- Architectural design and planning
- Permit management and city approvals
- Ground-up construction or structural conversion
- Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installation
- Interior finishing and fixtures
- Final inspections and project handover
Whether a homeowner is starting with an empty yard or converting an existing garage into a livable granny flat or Casita, their licensed team works to ensure the finished unit is functional, code-compliant, and well-constructed. They also handle the permitting process, which can be one of the more complex aspects of ADU development, particularly given the varying zoning regulations across East Bay municipalities.
