Our goal is simple: deliver a beautiful, functional ADU that complements your property while providing long-term value.
Many homeowners in Pacific Palisades are looking for ways to create additional living space without purchasing a new property. An ADU offers flexibility while increasing the usability and value of your home.
Common reasons homeowners build ADUs include:
With Pacific Palisades real estate among the most valuable in Los Angeles, adding an ADU can be a strategic investment that enhances both lifestyle and property value.
A detached ADU is a separate structure built on your property. These units provide privacy and flexibility while blending seamlessly with the main residence.
We design and build:
Converting an existing garage is often one of the most efficient ways to add livable square footage.
Our garage conversion services include:
An attached ADU expands your existing home while maintaining a separate living area. This option works well for multigenerational living and larger properties.
Most ADU projects typically range from $200,000 to $500,000+, depending on size, site conditions, structural requirements, design complexity, finishes, and utility connections.
ADUs generally follow a timeline similar to new construction and often take approximately 12 months, including design, planning, permitting, and construction.
