Types of ADUs You Can Build in Long Beach
Detached ADUs
A detached ADU is a completely separate structure from your primary home, typically built in the backyard or another available area of the property. Our detached ADU construction in Long Beach can include everything from the foundation and framing to utilities, a kitchen, bathroom, living areas, and final finishes.
Attached ADUs
Attached ADUs connect to the primary residence while creating an additional living unit. Depending on your property, this may involve expanding the existing home to create a separate space with its own kitchen, bathroom, living area, and entrance.
Junior ADUs (JADUs)
A JADU is a smaller accessory dwelling unit created within the existing or proposed space of a single-family home. It can be an option for homeowners who want additional living space without constructing a full-size detached unit.
Garage Conversion ADUs
A Long Beach garage conversion transforms an existing garage into a permitted living space. Our garage conversion contractors can complete the structural modifications, insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, doors, flooring, kitchen, bathroom, and finishes needed to turn the existing space into a functional ADU.
