Our customers are maximizing their properties by building accessory dwelling units. Also called granny flats, casitas, or companion units, ADUs are a second small home or apartment on an existing single-family lot separate from the main house. Whether you’re interested in building a granny flat for a family member or to rent out for additional income, here’s what to know before you get started. First you need a professional to tell you what you can & cannot do on your specific property. Although the laws have recently changed, being less restrictive & lower permit fees, you still must research your lot within the city or county your are located. Regulations are not all the same. Second you must hire a profesional designer to design your project & pull permits. Third you must work with the right licensed contractor to bring the project to life. Max My Home can help with all three!
