Why Build an ADU?
Add Extra Space
ADUs are perfect for aging parents, adult children, or guests. Enjoy extra space that feels connected to your home while still providing independence for family members.
Boost Property Value
Adding an ADU increases your property’s livable square footage and market appeal. Homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes with functional, fully permitted ADUs.
Passive Income
Rent out your ADU for consistent monthly income or short-term stays. With California’s high rental demand, a well-built accessory dwelling unit can pay for itself in just a few years.
Your Lifestyle
Whether it’s a home office, art studio, or gym, an ADU gives you the freedom to create a dedicated space for what matters most — without major renovations to your main home.
Featured Work
ADU Construction
Location: San Diego, CA
This 1,200 sq. ft. custom-built ADU was designed for a homeowner in San Diego who wanted to create a comfortable, private space for family members to live. The homeowner already had approved plans and permits in place, and Carbon Remodeling was contracted to take on the full build.
Our team managed the entire construction process from the ground up — pouring the foundation, framing, roofing, and exterior finishing. The project features Cool Life exterior coating for energy efficiency and durability, and a GAF roofing system for long-term weather protection and a clean finish.
Project Highlights:
-
1,200 sq. ft. detached ADU
-
Fully framed, insulated, and energy-efficient construction
-
Custom roofline and truss system
-
Cool Life energy-efficient exterior coating
-
GAF high-performance roofing system
-
Built to match the existing property’s aesthetic while adding modern functionality
The result is a fully framed and structurally sound ADU that blends seamlessly with the main property while providing a functional, modern living space designed for long-term comfort and family use.
In most areas of San Diego, homeowners can build an ADU up to 1,200 square feet. There are numerous variables that depend on this. The exact size depends on your lot and local zoning requirements. Our designers will confirm what’s allowed on your property and create a plan that fits perfectly. We can answer any additional questions you may have.
