Types of ADU King Home Remodeling Can Build in Montebello

For homeowners in Montebello considering adding an accessory dwelling unit to their property, King Home Remodeling works with several different ADU types depending on the site conditions and the homeowner's goals.

1. Detached ADU: A standalone structure separate from the primary home, typically built in the backyard. This option suits homeowners with larger lots who want a fully independent living space for family members, guests, or rental use.
2. Attached ADU: Shares one or more walls with the main dwelling but has its own entrance and amenities. This is a practical choice for those looking to convert existing space, such as a garage or basement, into an in-law suite or rental unit.
3. Garage Conversion ADU: An existing garage is converted into a livable space, such as a studio or guest quarters. As a garage conversion contractor, King Home Remodeling can handle this type of project while preserving the property's overall appearance.
4. Basement ADU: A basement is transformed into a self-contained unit with its own entrance and facilities, suitable for homeowners whose basement space can support a separate living area.
5. Junior ADU (JADU): A smaller unit created within the existing primary dwelling, with its own entrance but typically without a full separate kitchen. This works well for adding a modest independent living area within an existing bedroom or similar space.
