Get Your Free EstimateAn attached ADU means we build a new living unit that shares at least one wall with your existing house. This project includes everything from initial design and architectural plans to securing all necessary San Francisco permits, framing, plumbing, electrical work, insulation, drywall, and finishing touches like flooring, cabinets, and fixtures. We make sure it's a fully self-contained unit with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom, ready for someone to move in.
Our approach starts with a solid plan. We assess your property's layout, existing utilities, and zoning requirements specific to San Francisco. We then work with you to design a functional, comfortable space that complements your main home and meets all city codes. Once the plans are locked in and permits are secured, our crew gets to work, managing every phase of construction efficiently and cleanly.
Building an attached ADU in San Francisco is a smart move for homeowners. It's often a more cost-effective way to add housing compared to building a brand-new detached structure, especially with the city's high construction costs. You're also leveraging existing infrastructure, which can streamline the build process. This type of ADU is perfect for families needing extra space, homeowners looking for rental income, or those wanting to create a dedicated home office or guest suite.
Homeowners often worry about how an attached ADU will impact their main home's privacy or structural integrity. We design and build these units to be independent, with soundproofing and separate entrances to ensure privacy for both units. Structurally, we integrate the new addition seamlessly and safely, always adhering to San Francisco's strict building codes and seismic requirements. We make sure it feels like it's always been part of your property, just better.
San Francisco's housing market is tight, and an attached ADU offers a practical solution to add living space without buying more land. This helps you maximize your current property's potential, whether you need space for family, a rental unit, or a home office. It's a direct way to increase your property's value and flexibility in a city where space is at a premium.
Building an attached ADU often means we can tie into your existing utility lines more easily than a detached unit. This can save you time and money on trenching and new hookups, which is a big deal in San Francisco with its complex underground infrastructure. We also consider the city's unique lot sizes and hillside properties; an attached unit often fits better on smaller or sloped lots where a detached structure might not be feasible.
San Francisco's climate, with its fog and occasional heavy rains, means we build with durability in mind. An attached ADU is designed to integrate with your existing home's weatherproofing and foundation, ensuring it stands up to local conditions. We use materials and construction methods that protect against moisture and maintain energy efficiency, keeping your new space comfortable year-round.
We start by visiting your San Francisco property to check out the existing structure, available space, and current utility connections. This helps us understand what's possible and identify any initial challenges.
Next, we work with you to draw up plans that meet your needs and comply with all San Francisco ADU regulations. We handle the permit submission process with the city, making sure everything is in order for approval.
Once permits are issued, our crew begins construction, framing the new space, installing plumbing and electrical systems, and finishing the interior and exterior. We keep the site clean and disruption to a minimum.
After construction is complete, we do a thorough walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets your expectations and our high standards. We then get the final sign-offs from the city, making your new ADU ready to use.
We build attached ADUs all over San Francisco, from the Outer Sunset to Noe Valley and down in the Excelsior District. We know the ins and outs of each neighborhood's specific zoning and building quirks, making sure your project goes smoothly.
