— 06 / Why The ADU Guys

Specialists,
not generalists.

We're a Los Angeles-based team that builds ADUs — and only ADUs. Every project we take on is a backyard unit, a garage conversion, a JADU, or an SB9/SB1211 development. That focus is why we move faster, price sharper, and know California's ADU code better than a general contractor ever could.

What homeowners
say.

They handled every permit — I didn't call the city once. Rental hit market in 9 months.

Marcus H.Garage Conversion · West LA

I interviewed four ADU builders. The ADU Guys were the only ones who actually understood SB9.

Priya S.SB9 Lot Split · Mar Vista

Design was thoughtful, the crew was clean, and the final unit rents for more than the estimate.

Devon R.Detached ADU · Carson

They turned our JADU around in under six months. Mom moved in, we kept our privacy.

Elena M.JADU · Eagle Rock

Straight pricing, no surprises. That alone is rare in LA construction.
