Transforming Underutilized Spaces into Affordable Homes
ADU West Coast is a full-service ADU builder and design-build firm serving Southern California homeowners and investors. They specialize in converting underutilized garages and backyard spaces into high-quality, income-producing living areas. As a vertically integrated ADU contractor, they manage every aspect of the process — from design and engineering to permitting and construction — all under one roof.
Their sole focus is accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which means homeowners benefit from a team with deep expertise in local regulations, real estate, and construction. With over 15 years of experience in home development projects across every major city in Los Angeles County, ADU West Coast brings unmatched knowledge to each project.
Homeowners who add an ADU can expect an average monthly rental income of $1,900 or more for a 400 sq ft space, depending on the area — that's potentially over $22,800 per year in additional income, along with a significant increase in overall property value.
Types of ADUs They Build
ADU West Coast works with a variety of property configurations to find the best solution for each homeowner. As an experienced garage conversion contractor, detached ADU builder, and granny flat builder, they offer flexible options including:
- Garage conversions
- Stand-alone detached units
- Over-garage additions
- Basement or attic conversions
Thanks to California state laws that went into effect in 2020, restrictions on ADU construction have been significantly lifted. Single-family zoned properties can now potentially add up to two additional units — an ADU and a Junior ADU (JADU) — effectively functioning as a triplex. ADU West Coast is well-versed in navigating these updated regulations as both a JADU contractor and full-service in-law suite builder.
The benefits of adding an ADU extend beyond rental income. They include:
- Allowing extended families to maintain privacy
- Providing a more affordable and safer senior living environment
- Adding new livable square footage to an existing property
- Increasing housing supply in high-demand areas
- Generating rental income that can be used to accelerate loan payoff
A Seamless Process from Start to Finish
ADU West Coast guides homeowners through every phase of the project. Their process begins with an on-site consultation and inspection, which includes an ADU-specific inspection report, a detailed site map, and a customized proposal. From there, their team handles expert design and engineering plans, navigates city regulations, and manages the full permit approval process.
Their seasoned contractors, project managers, and subcontractors bring a wealth of experience to each build, ensuring high construction quality throughout. Upon completion, homeowners can choose to rent the unit for additional income or use it as a comfortable space for family members.
ADU West Coast also offers flexible financing options, providing homeowners with a menu of pre-arranged solutions — whether they prefer to finance the project or pay upfront. This makes them a true one-stop shop for anyone looking to build a backyard cottage, convert a garage, or add a granny flat to their property.
For Southern California homeowners looking for a reliable, experienced, and comprehensive ADU contractor, ADU West Coast delivers quality construction at competitive prices with a streamlined, stress-free experience.
