What are Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)?

Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are independent living spaces added to existing single-family homes in Los Angeles. Also known as granny flats, mother-in-law suites, or backyard bungalows, ADUs are self-contained units with their own living area, kitchenette or kitchen, bedroom(s), and bathroom.

ADUs can be attached to the main home or built as detached standalone structures. Garage conversions are a popular option for creating attached ADUs by transforming existing garage space into fully functioning living areas. ADUs add livable square footage, which can accommodate family or generate rental income.

Why Build an ADU in Los Angeles?

There are many great reasons to build an ADU or convert a garage to an ADU in LA:

  • Add space for aging parents, adult children, or relatives needing care.
  • Accommodate a caregiver, live-in aide, or nurse.
  • Create a home office, art studio, or private living space.
  • Generate rental income with a mother-in-law unit.
  • Increase property value by adding a living area.
  • Utilize unused or underutilized space.
  • Build on a smaller footprint, which is not possible with additions.

The ADU and garage conversion experts at MY Home Builders have decades of experience creating quality accessory dwelling units in Los Angeles. We customize each ADU to match our clients’ unique needs and design vision. Contact us today to learn more about optimizing your home with an ADU!

Maximize Your Space with Attached Garage Conversions and ADUs

Attached Garage Conversions and ADUs

Attached garage conversions and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are directly connected to your existing home. This is one of the most versatile and cost-effective options for adding livable square footage.

Converting an attached garage or building an attached ADU takes advantage of unused space already part of your home's footprint. They provide a seamless way to expand your home at a lower cost compared to building a fully detached addition. Attached units also allow easy access between the new living area and main house through adjoining walls or direct interior connections.
Detached ADUs - Private and Self-Contained Living Spaces

Detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) create completely separate, private living spaces apart from your main home. Our expert ADU contractors can build high-quality detached units tailored to your needs.

Our Los Angeles ADU experts handle everything from permits and architectural plans to full construction of your beautiful detached ADU. We build it to match your unique style and provide the functionality you want. Contact us to explore detached ADUs as an option for your home!
2nd Floor ADU Conversions - Gaining Living Space Vertically

Second floor ADU conversions transform existing upper-level spaces like attics and garages into fully functional accessory dwelling units. This adds livable square footage vertically when you lack room to expand horizontally.

Second floor conversions are great for properties where building out is not possible. They allow you to capitalize on unused vertical space that may get overlooked. You can create comfortable living quarters without substantially altering your home’s exterior or site. 2nd floor ADUs make excellent home offices, studios, guest suites, and living spaces.
