ADU builders in Inglewood

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.

Why Inglewood homes bring this work to us

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.

Inglewood is a straight run down the freeway from our Valley shop — we schedule South LA work in efficient blocks, with no trip charges.

What's included

ADUs we build in Inglewood

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.
