About Coastal ADU Construction
Coastal ADU Construction is a local accessory dwelling unit general contractor serving Bay Area homeowners. As more property owners look to make better use of their land, ADUs have become an increasingly popular option — whether for accommodating guests, housing family members, or generating rental income.
An accessory dwelling unit — also referred to as a backyard cottage, in-law apartment, or granny flat — is a separate residential living space built on the same property as a single-family home. These units offer homeowners a practical way to leverage available space while adding long-term value to their property.
Types of ADUs Coastal ADU Construction Works With
Not every property is the same, and the right type of ADU depends on the existing configuration of the land and the homeowner's intended use. Coastal ADU Construction works across several ADU types:
- New construction of a freestanding or detached ADU
- Conversion or expansion of an existing secondary structure, such as a garage conversion, into an ADU
- Conversion of a space within the main home — such as a basement or attic — into an ADU
- Addition of an attached ADU to the main home
Each of these approaches comes with its own set of considerations, from structural requirements to zoning regulations. Coastal ADU Construction has experience across all of these project types, helping homeowners identify which solution fits their property and goals.
