ADU Services – Accessory Dwelling Units
Welcome to California Development and Renovation, where we’ve been delivering top-notch construction and remodeling services across the San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years. Whether you’re dreaming of expanding your home or maximizing your property’s potential, we specialize in designing and building beautiful, efficient Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that fit your space, style, and budget.
What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, sometimes called a granny flat, in-law suite, backyard cottage, or garage apartment, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. These independent living spaces include their own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance — perfect for family members, guests, renters, or even as your personal retreat or home office.
With housing costs rising and Bay Area properties in high demand, ADUs are a smart, flexible solution that increases your property’s value and functionality.
