Custom ADU Builders
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) offers a way to create more livable space on your property. Whether you want to remodel, expand or build a new unit, bring your ADU design and construction vision to life with Valley Home Builders. As custom ADU builders, our in-house designers, architects and project management teams create aesthetically pleasing results to fit your lifestyle and goals.
What Are ADUs?
An ADU is an independent dwelling unit, also called a secondary suite, accessory apartment, mother-in-law apartment or granny flat. Accessory dwelling units are located on the same lot as a single-family home and can be attached or detached from the main structure of your house. Homeowners who choose to build ADUs enjoy the freedom of creating custom floor plans and incorporating tailored design choices to align with their property layouts and meet their needs.
Benefits of Accessory Dwelling Units
Instead of moving and purchasing new land, adding to your existing residence offers a cost-effective way to accommodate your needs. There are many benefits of ADUs, including:
- Increased property value: An ADU can significantly boost property value by providing additional living space.
- Flexible living arrangement: If you want to give teenagers some extra freedom, junior accessory dwelling units are a wonderful option.
- Private designated space: ADU builders can help you build your dream office or studio. An ADU can be the perfect solution for a home office, offering the benefit of being on your property while remaining separate from the main house.
- Space for guests: Create a new bedroom or guest room to welcome long-distance relatives or friends.
Popular ADU Projects
Valley Home Builders is your go-to ADU builder in California. We can remodel or expand your independent dwelling in compliance with local zoning laws and according to your desires, budget and needs. The most popular ADU projects include:
Backyard Cottages
Enjoy additional privacy and convenience in the comfort of a backyard cottage. Whether for a home office, yoga studio or workout space, a backyard cottage offers nearly endless opportunities to expand your living space. They are also a great option as the kids grow older and want to exercise more independence in a space of their own.
Guest Houses
Whether your guests will be staying overnight or indefinitely, you want to offer them spacious, private accommodations. A guest house can feature a variety of amenities, including a bathroom, kitchen and living space, so your visitors can enjoy the comforts of home as well as privacy. Parents or other relatives can also gracefully age in place in a separate guest house, giving everyone greater peace of mind.
Garage Conversions
Garage conversions are an affordable way to build an ADU because the foundation and basic infrastructure, like walls, electrical connections and the roof, are already there. Convert your garage into anything you like — for example, a home gym, art studio or even an indoor garden. With features like plumbing, electricity and windows for natural light, a garage conversion can truly transform your space.
