ADU builders in Granada Hills

Granada Hills is classic 1950s–60s ranch-house Valley, with larger lots south of the foothills and hillside homes north of Rinaldi. Families move here for the schools and stay for decades — which is why additions, primary suites, and ADUs for aging parents are the projects we build here most.

Why Granada Hills homes bring this work to us

The classic Granada Hills project is an ADU for aging parents on a ranch-house lot — close enough for Sunday dinner, separate enough for everyone's sanity. South of Rinaldi it's straightforward; on the hillside streets we check slope and access first, free.

We're based in Mission Hills, so Granada Hills is home turf — walkthroughs usually happen within a couple of days.

What's included

ADUs we build in Granada Hills

Detached new-build ADUs

A complete small home in your backyard — foundation, framing, systems, and finishes, up to 1,200 sq ft under state law.

Garage conversions

The fastest, most affordable path to a rentable unit: foundation checks, insulation, systems, and a finish that doesn't feel like a garage.

Attached ADUs & JADUs

Additions and junior units carved from existing space, with the required separate entrance and kitchen done to code.

Guest houses & casitas

Not every backyard building needs a full kitchen — we build casitas, studios, and offices to the same standard.

Site work & utilities

Trenching, sewer connections, panel upgrades, and meters — the part of ADU budgets everyone forgets. We price it up front.

Plans, engineering & permits

Architectural plans, structural engineering, Title 24, and city plan check — or we build from the plans you already have.
