With home spaces changing and demand for living spaces rising throughout San Diego County, most homeowners are looking towards new alternatives to house more than 1 household. Whether it’s an in-law suite, a short-term rental space, or additional living space, homeowners are turning towards Accessory Dwelling Units as a permanent solution.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, or ADU for short, is a secondary housing unit that is built on the lot of a property that already has a primary residential home. What separates ADU’s from guest houses and other similar living spaces is the requirement to have a kitchen. An ADU must be a completely separate living space so having amenities such as kitchens and bathrooms assures that the unit is independent of the primary home.
Constructing an ADU on your property can add many benefits. If the spacing in your home is an issue, constructing an ADU will provide more living space which in turn will increase your property value. However, the specific monetary value is hard to measure, as appraisers take many factors into consideration as well as sales comparison data. Aside from property value, an ADU can also provide opportunities for additional income. As housing shortages continue to plague cities, many homeowners are constructing ADUs to produce short-term and/or long-term rentals. With average rental prices consistently rising, constructing an ADU on your property can be a valuable investment that provides you with a steady flow of income.
Quality assurance is always our top priority and we want to make sure that constructing an ADU is the right fit for your needs and your budget. Our process begins with an in-person consultation to explain the entire process from beginning to end. From there, we inspect the lot as well as the proposed location for the ADU in order to determine if the site is suitable for construction.
As with any habitable living space, specific permits from your local jurisdiction are required in order to construct an ADU on your property. We stand by our work and promise to review all permits, follow all guidelines, and deliver complete satisfaction. Constructing an ADU on your property is a valuable investment and we want to make sure we provide high-quality work that is built to last. At D&L Builders, our project management team works efficiently to meet deadlines and maintains order to assure detail and cleanliness are kept up from beginning to end.
