Why Choose Us for ADU in Granada Hills
ADU in Granada Hills
A detached garage conversion or new backyard ADU works well on the deeper lots typical of Granada Hills, since there is usually enough rear yard to meet separation distances from the main house and property line. Many of these garages were built in the 1960s with minimal insulation and undersized electrical, so bringing that structure up to code for daily living means new framing, wiring and often a separate water line. Access along the side yard for equipment and material staging is generally workable given the lot width.
What to settle first in Granada Hills
We work through these with you in Granada Hills before the design is final: brush clearance and defensible space on lots backing to the Santa Susana foothills; larger 1960s and 1970s tract lots with septic remnants near equestrian pockets; expansive clay soil shifting beneath slab foundations on the valley floor; and ember-resistant vent and roofing choices for homes near open foothill land.
Granada Hills Permit Knowledge
Los Angeles DBS jurisdiction. Properties near the foothills may require brush clearance compliance and fire-resistant construction materials. Standard 4-6 week permit timeline for flat lots.
Serving All Granada Hills Neighborhoods
We work throughout Granada Hills including Knollwood, Balboa Highlands, Sunshine Canyon area, Zelzah corridor.
Rental Income from Your Property
A completed ADU in Los Angeles can generate steady rental income that offsets your mortgage, funds retirement, or pays the unit back over time. What it earns depends on size, finish level and neighborhood, so we walk through realistic expectations for your property during the consultation.
California ADU Law Expertise
State and local ADU regulations change frequently. We track current setback reductions, parking exemptions, and owner-occupancy rules so your project qualifies for the most favorable code path available.
Permits Handled End to End
Cities must act on ADU permits within 60 days under state law. We prepare complete plan sets that anticipate common plan-check comments, which reduces revision cycles and keeps your timeline on track.
Garage Conversions and Detached Units
Whether you want to convert an existing garage, build a detached cottage, or add an attached junior ADU, we design and build all three types. Lot size, access, and utility locations determine the best option for your property.
Complete Living Spaces
Every ADU includes a full kitchen, bathroom, heating and cooling, and a separate entrance. Laundry hookups, closet storage, and outdoor patio space can be added depending on the floor plan.
Property Value That Compounds
An ADU adds both living area and income potential to your property appraisal. Buyers looking at your home see a ready-made rental unit, which makes your listing stand out in a competitive market.

Our ADU Process in Granada Hills
Feasibility and Design Consultation
We visit your property to measure the lot, identify utility connections, and evaluate whether a detached, attached, or garage-conversion ADU is the strongest option. You receive a preliminary site plan and budget range at no obligation.
Architectural Plans and Permit Submittal
Our architects produce a complete ADU plan set including floor plan, elevations, structural details, and Title 24 energy calculations. We submit the package to the city and manage all plan-check correspondence.
Foundation and Framing
For new detached units, this starts with excavation and concrete work. Garage conversions begin with slab reinforcement and wall modifications. Framing, roofing, and exterior finishes close in the structure.
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing
Dedicated electrical panel, water supply, sewer connection, and HVAC system are installed for the ADU. Each system is inspected separately before drywall goes up to confirm code compliance.
Finishes and Certificate of Occupancy
Kitchen cabinets, bathroom tile, flooring, paint, and fixtures complete the interior. After the final city inspection, you receive a certificate of occupancy and the unit is ready for tenants or family.
