California ADU rules work in your favor
State law has made ADUs the most builder-friendly project in Los Angeles. ADU permits are ministerial, which means a complete application must be approved, and within a half-mile of transit the city cannot require replacement parking, which covers most of LA and makes garage conversions especially practical. We handle feasibility, plans, permits, and utility connections end to end.
Garage conversion or detached build
A garage conversion is usually the fastest, most affordable path, because the shell, slab, and often the electrical already exist. A detached ADU costs more, typically $200 to $400 per square foot, but gives you a bigger, fully separate unit; a 600 square foot ADU commonly lands between $150,000 and $250,000. We will tell you in the feasibility review which path fits your lot and budget, including where the sewer line and panel capacity push the decision.
Rental income and what to expect
Most of our ADU clients build for rental income, so we build rental-ready: full kitchen, full bath, separate entry, and finishes that hold up to tenants. Most ADUs take 4 to 7 months from permit to completion, and garage conversions often finish faster. The rent an ADU commands in your neighborhood is a conversation worth having before design, and we will have it with you straight.
