    Time does not stand still, and now the children playing on the playground in the backyard have grown up and gotten their own families. However, buying and maintaining a house in California is a costly undertaking. Those residents of Sacramento County who cannot afford to buy an entire house due to insufficient salaries for loan payments are forced to either crowd into their parents’ house, standing in line for the bathroom or in front of the fridge. Or move in search of a more affordable option in other states, if there is one. But is there really no other way out?

    Of course, there is, and this way is called an “accessory dwelling unit.” Accessory dwelling units are typically one-story tiny homes located on the same premises as the main house. Their structure replicates the structure of an ordinary full-size house but in miniature. Aside from serving as additional living space, they have a lot of other purposes related to both exploitation and earning additional funds, which we will talk about later in the article.

    ADU Builders Lemon Hill, CA

    Why do you need professional ADU builders to handle your project? The answer is easy.

    You might have passed by painterly neighborhoods with neat, harmoniously styled houses in the backyard, which cleverly complete the picture of the entire site. But behind any outstanding view, there are months or even years of careful planning and designing. Are you ready to devote so much time to your ADU project, given all the work, blueprints, engineering, design solutions, and simultaneous permit obtaining that will fall only on your shoulders?

    On the other hand, if you apply to an ADU building company, qualified specialists with many years of experience will take over the entire accessory dwelling unit project for you. The agreement between homeowners and ADU builders covers all aspects of the process, starting with making an accurate architectural plan of the building, step-by-step execution of works in a clearly defined time frame, and ending with taking away the burden of obtaining approvals from local authorities. Much less stress.

    ADU Contractor Lemon Hill, CA

    Building an ADU on your property is a big step, so the general contractor that is entrusted to execute it must be reliable. A+ Construction & Remodeling embodies all the features of a company that is often sought to carry out ADU projects:

    • Rich past experience

    With more than 25 years of past building experience under our belt, we developed our own viable methods to create hospitable, cozy places of habitation. Applying their deep knowledge, A+ specialists overcome all complexities on their way to carrying out their minimalist ADU projects as quickly and effectively as possible. Our results can be seen in the considerable photo gallery of completed projects we’ve managed to collect. These small homes alter in size, configuration, style, and price. But what unites them is custom beauty, exceptional quality, high durability, and a genuine desire to accommodate the client’s needs.

    • High-quality standard

    Together with a wide range of tiny home building services, A+ Construction & Remodeling offers numerous licenses and certificates for your consideration to get a secured guarantee for successful project completion. Also, having connections with local suppliers, our specialists always know where materials are sold cheaper, where they are better, and where both.

    • Honest and transparent sales policy

    Before building an ADU, a reasonable homeowner will want to be sure how much he is supposed to pay when the process comes to an end. The A+ team appreciates your provident vision, thus providing an opportunity to conduct a free estimate, among other services. In addition, A+ offers a free consultation for you to get acquainted with the company and ask all the questions you’re initially interested in.

    • Client-oriented approach

    Accessible communication throughout the whole process is one of our cornerstones. Our professionals are always ready to discuss their job with you by phone or via online chat. In addition, you can drive to the nearest A+ office location in your city.

    If your family is looking forward to building ADU units of quality at your joint property yard, hire A+ builders who have served Sacramento, California, clients for decades! A small, beautiful home with one or more bedrooms, one bathroom or two bathrooms, a kitchen, and other amenities is our specialization. A great construction job, a thoughtful and elegant home design, and obtaining permits in accordance with local law are the services that A+ Construction & Remodeling provides.

    ADU Contractor Building Types

    Following the trends of modern construction, A+ Construction & Remodeling offers ADU projects that combine high-tech design and building methods, an efficient organization of the workflow, and smart use of the living environment to meet Lemon Hill homeowners’ daily needs.

    There are several ADU project options to pick from:

    Detached vs. Attached ADUs

    The fundamental difference between these types lies in the fact that detached ADUs are built entirely stand-alone. While attached, ADUs share a wall and sometimes have an entrance between two houses – the main one and the additional one. As a rule, homeowners choose the first type when they need a private space on their land, be it designated as a place for tenants, a private guest cottage, a granny flat, or a home office.

    New Construction vs. Conversion

    If your family possesses any unused space, such as a garage, attic, or basement, you can effortlessly convert it into a small home. For a garage conversion, you do not have to build an ADU from scratch; you take the original, existing structure and transform it into a functional and stylish dwelling.

    Full-size ADUs vs. Junior ADUs

    What distinguishes these two accessory dwelling units is the number of square feet they occupy and the amount of permitting documents they presuppose. If a big ADU’s size is in the interval between 850 and 1000 square feet, a junior ADU’s size stops at the 500 square feet mark. JADU can’t be built anew; it must be converted. But precisely for this reason, JADU regulations are way milder.

    Whatever ground you have for building an ADU, there is a suitable option for anyone. Build a custom ADU that will stand for life with professional ADU builders, A+ Construction & Remodeling, operating in Sacramento, California!

    ADU Unit Construction Lemon Hill

    Though design, configuration, and other details are not limited by the laws of the state of California, ADU buildings in Sacramento County still must adhere to certain limitations.

    Thus, one-family or multifamily households are both entitled to have ADUs. However, single families can have one ADU and one junior ADU, while multiple families on one plot are permitted to have one ADU for four residential units.

    One-bedroom ADU size shall not exceed 850 sq. ft., and the whole two-bedroom ADU size in Sacramento can’t be bigger than 1000 sq. ft. All ADUs must be less than 150 sq. ft. While JADU’s size is restricted to 500 sq. ft.

    Benefits of ADU Building

    When you build ADU units in Sacramento County, California, such a decision brings several significant gains to your family:

    • Liveable space expansion

    Depending on the size of the ADU, the new unit will bring you an average of up to 1,000 square feet of residential space. If your family has recently welcomed a new member or you are tired of crowding in your parent’s home and want a small but separate space, an addition to your property can be a wise solution.

    • Equipping a secluded space for work

    Workshop or home office – both of these options can be arranged in your yard. Over the past three years, working from home has become quite common, capturing more and more city residents in its ranks. However, being with your noisy household members from September to January and beyond is not an easy task as it might seem. Therefore, ADU builders will help to put a literal wall between you and the surrounding hustle to allow you to do your job in peace.

    • A spare home for friends or relatives

    Make an inviting ADU garden cottage in Lemon Hill City, Sacramento, for your loved one to spend the weekend in! After all, a ready-built extra space in your yard to temporarily accommodate people may come in very handy when facing the prospect of being crammed into one small home for a whole week when an aunt and her family come to stay in your city.

    • Rent

    What’s in common between such popular locations as Los Angeles, Sun Valley, and San Diego? Of course, there are attractions and entertainment, but other than that, a fascinating home design that is both relaxing and modern is what catches your eye. If you want to create an appealing place for tenants to dream of moving in, make your property look stunning with the help of A+ ADU builders! In this case, you will be able to earn a good living wage, quickly recoup your expenses, and begin earning an income.

    • Raising overall property price

    If you plan to use ADUs for a living, ADU builders also recommend taking a look at this option. A ready-built ADU when selling a land plot can seriously increase the value of your property, which makes its preliminary construction a very profitable investment. At first, ADUs can be used for renting and then sold together with the house for a great price, especially if they are in popular locations.

    Lemon Hill ADU Construction Company

    Keep in mind that good ADU builders can offer slightly lower prices than on the market (for example, because they work with local suppliers for a long time and have discounts from them), but these prices can’t be too low.

    Another thing ADU builders should refrain from is an unrealistic time frame. The high-quality construction of an ADU provided that the company undertakes the project from the planning stage and includes permissions, can last up to a year or at least 9 months. Of course, time may vary if you do a small ADU, but for a medium or large one, a deadline that is too close may be a red flag.

    Building an ADU in Lemon Hill

    To get your ADU project with A+ professionals started, follow these guidelines:

    1. Call us and arrange an initial consultation. This first discussion is more general, and it will help you determine your plans for the scope of work, ADU configuration, and future design, as well as find out in general how much you can count on.
    2. Next, if the offer suits you, we suggest taking advantage of the A+ free estimate option. At this stage, we review what we got at the previous step, and on its basis, a subject list of what exactly needs to be done is compiled, and calculations of the final cost are made. We discuss the architectural plan and the construction plan, as well as apply modern technologies, to find out in detail exactly what you want to achieve at your site in California.
    3. A+ builders and their clients sign the detailed agreement. Meanwhile, our employees receive all necessary permits for an ADU’s construction. At the time of the start of construction, you already have an idea of what kind of work will be carried out and when exactly it will end. And you also get the contact information you need to freely get in touch with the team during the immediate construction.

    Prefab ADU Construction

    If a custom ADU with drawn-up architectural plans and individual designs is different from what you need or what you can easily afford, a prefab ADU is a good substitute. This design is manufactured according to a standard sample at the factory and undergoes a thorough quality check. After that, anyone can purchase a ready-made unit at a reduced price several times, paying only for the installation.

    ADU Housing

    We hope our extensive review helped you to make your choice. If so, reach out to A+ Construction & Remodeling to create affordable residential space to settle your loved ones right on your plot, retire to the house yourself, or receive passive income from renting a small home! We offer ADU options for any demand and budget and engage skilled specialists in the fields of construction, architectural and interior design, as well as engineering.

We are committed to using only the highest quality materials, ensuring the longevity and value of your ADU. With our ADU Building Services: From initial design consultations to the final touches, we’re with you every step of the way.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I build a detached junior ADU?

    It is a strict rule that JADUs must be converted from already-existing structures. Which means they are to be located either inside the house (including the attic or basement) or inside the garage. So, you can build a detached junior ADU only if it’s converted from your detached garage. Otherwise, it will be a violation.

    Is renting out an ADU lucrative?

    Yes, it is. For renting it out, it’s better to choose detached ADUs with one or two bedrooms. Earning $1,500–$2,000 a month, you’ll generally be able to recoup what you spend on ADU within a year. And then live with a good financial cushion, paying off your mortgage from your rental income.

    Can I have a two-story ADU in Sacramento?

    Generally, it will be quite difficult to get permission because the maximum allowed ADU height in Sacramento is 16 feet, and two floors just don’t work out. But in some cases, ADUs up to 18 feet in size are allowed. It is better to check the list of cases in the current legislation.
