Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is a garage conversion or a detached ADU the better choice?

A garage conversion reuses the existing walls, roof and slab, so it is usually the faster and lower-cost route. It depends on the condition of the garage, including the slab, framing and electrical service. A detached ADU costs more but is designed from the ground up. A site visit is the reliable way to compare the two for your property.

Who handles ADU plans and permits?

It depends on the project. Plans can come through our design partners or from plans you already have. The written estimate states who is responsible for design, engineering and the permit, so nothing is assumed.

Can I build an ADU if my home is in an HOA?

California law prevents an HOA from prohibiting or unreasonably restricting an ADU on a single-family lot. The HOA can still require architectural review and reasonable design standards, so plan for that approval step.

Which cities do you build ADUs in?

All Pro Contractor builds ADUs and garage conversions across San Diego County, with local pages for San Diego, Chula Vista, National City, La Mesa, El Cajon, Oceanside and Carlsbad. Rules differ by city, so each project starts with the address.
