Inglewood's 1920s–40s Spanish bungalows and Craftsman cottages are having a moment — SoFi and the arena district pushed values up, and owners are investing again instead of selling. Restoring these homes right (and adding the ADU the lot always had room for) is some of our favorite work.
Inglewood has been genuinely pro-ADU, and the math works: SoFi-era rents against 1920s–40s lots that almost all have a detached garage or room in back. A permitted unit here is some of the best equity-per-dollar in South LA right now.

The fastest, most affordable path to a rentable unit: foundation checks, insulation, systems, and a finish that doesn't feel like a garage.
Additions and junior units carved from existing space, with the required separate entrance and kitchen done to code.
Not every backyard building needs a full kitchen — we build casitas, studios, and offices to the same standard.
Trenching, sewer connections, panel upgrades, and meters — the part of ADU budgets everyone forgets. We price it up front.
Architectural plans, structural engineering, Title 24, and city plan check — or we build from the plans you already have.
Typical 2026 Los Angeles-area ranges including construction; plans, permits, and utility fees vary by city and site. Many owners see the unit pay for itself in 7–12 years of rent.
Permits here go through the City of Inglewood's Building & Safety Division — its own city hall, its own process. We prepare the plans, pull the permits, and meet the inspectors — you never stand in a city line.
Turnkey garage conversions typically run $100k–$180k and detached new-build ADUs $250k–$400k+ — Inglewood sits squarely in those ranges. Utilities and site conditions move the number, which is why we start with a free site check and give you a written, line-item price.
