Backyard ADUs and garage conversions.
Create a separate space for family, guests or renters without leaving your lot. We help you decide between detached ADUs, attached suites and under-roof garage conversions based on budget, access and what zoning allows.
Designed around how you actually live.
Every project starts with a walkthrough. We look at how rooms connect today, how you enter and park, where sun and wind hit the house and what kind of storage, privacy or circulation you wish you had. That becomes the basis for a practical layout instead of just a square footage number.
What we help you think through.
- How new space ties into existing roof lines and structure.
- Where to place doors, windows and circulation so traffic flows.
- Impact to driveways, patios and outdoor space.
- Budget ranges for “good, better, best” scopes.
- Permit, inspection and HOA considerations in the Antelope Valley.
Local focus across the AV.
We stay focused on Lancaster, Palmdale, Quartz Hill, Rosamond, Acton and nearby communities so we stay familiar with local inspectors, soil conditions and the way homes are actually built here.
Types of ADUs and conversions we see most often.
Detached backyard ADUs
Small backyard homes with their own entrance, ideal for family members or long-term guests.
Attached side or rear ADUs
Suites that share at least one wall with the main home, often with their own exterior door.
Garage interior conversions
Under-roof space finished into bedrooms, offices or small apartments, often the most budget-friendly option.
Hybrid projects
Combining a garage conversion with a small addition to get both parking and livable space configured correctly.
How a typical adu or garage conversion project moves.
- Initial call to understand your home, goals and rough budget.
- On-site visit to look at structure, access, utilities and site conditions.
- High-level options with ballpark ranges so you can decide what makes sense.
- Plans, engineering and permits handled on your behalf.
- Coordinated schedule for framing, roofing and concrete where needed.
- Final walkthrough so you know what was done and how to maintain it.
Start with a straightforward conversation.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you call. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that quickly and, when possible, point you in a better direction.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a detached ADU and a garage conversion?
- A detached ADU is a small standalone home in the yard, while a garage conversion reuses the shell of the existing garage. Each has different impacts on parking, privacy and budget.
- Can you help me understand California ADU rules locally?
- Yes. We stay current on state rules and how local agencies in Lancaster and Palmdale are applying them, so you are not guessing about setbacks, parking or height limits.
- How soon should I involve you in the ADU planning process?
- Early is better. A short call before you spend money on plans can keep the design aligned with budget, utilities and access on your specific lot.
