San Francisco ADU Builder

An accessory dwelling unit increases your property’s value since it’s an entirely separate living space. You can fully customize your ADU with the same high-quality materials that you would use in your own home. Everything is built to code and fully-permitted, using building-grade materials designed to last for over 50 years.

We’ve seen our customers use their ADUs in extremely creative ways including:

• Housing for families
• Elderly parents
• First step for young adults
• Rental property

Housing for families

ADUs are an excellent way to keep family close. We have found this to be the most common reason
people are seeking to build an ADU.

Elderly parents

As parents and in-laws age, they often start requiring a higher level of support and assistance. Assisted living facilities are one option, but these are usually awfully expensive and may not be the environment your loved one is looking for.
An alternative is to build an ADU for your aging parent. This method allows families to stay close and be taken care of if needed, while saving a considerable
amount of money and maintaining their independence.

First, you will work with your family member to design an ADU that meets their desires and care needs. Typically, clients will utilize financing from their
family member’s existing assets (HELOC, sale of house, reverse mortgage) to help fund the ADU build. Once the ADU is built, your family members can move in and start enjoying their brand-new living space, designed, and built just for them.

First step for young adults

Heading out into the world for the first time as an adult on your own can be a hard time. Many young adults are stuck between wanting independence and needing financial and other assistance from parents while they get on their feet.
An ADU solves both problems simultaneously. It allows young adults to learn the basics of maintaining a home and being responsible for household chores expenses. At the same time, they are close enough for parents to lend a helping hand when needed.

Rental

ADUs allow you to easily earn passive income by using them as a rental property. Some opt to build an ADU with a privacy fence on their property, giving both the ADU and primary house a sense of privacy and independence. The ADU is then rented out long-term (greater than 30 days) for rental income. Others end up moving into their freshly built ADU and renting their primary residence long-term at market rates.
Both options make great financial sense.
NOTE: Most localities prohibit ADUs from being rented out short-term (< 30 days), and from posting them on short-term rental sites such as Airbnb.
