Attached ADUs in Sacramento

An addition that becomes its own home: separate entry, separate kitchen, connected to the main structure.

When does attached make sense?

On lots without room for a detached unit, or when owners want one roofline and shorter utility runs.

What is different from a detached ADU?

Fire separation, soundproofing and how the new roof meets the old one. We plan those first.

Can part of my house become the ADU?

Often. Converting space inside the existing structure can avoid setback limits that apply to new construction.

Attached units

An addition with its own entry suits lots with little back yard. We check the main house's structure and electrical service before design.
