Types of ADUs You Can Build in Torrance
Choosing the right type of ADU depends on your property, your goals, and how you plan to use the space. Whether you're creating a rental unit, guest house, private family suite, or home office, our Torrance ADU contractors can help you choose the best option for your property.
Detached ADUs
A detached ADU is a separate structure built on your property. Many homeowners choose detached ADUs for rental income, multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or a private home office.
Attached ADUs
Attached ADUs are connected to the main home while providing an independent living space. They're a great option for expanding your home's living area without building a separate structure.
Garage Conversions
As an experienced garage conversion contractor in Torrance, we convert underused garages into accessory dwelling units (ADUs), guest suites, home offices, and other functional living spaces designed around your needs.
Junior ADUs (JADUs)
JADUs convert existing space within the primary residence into a smaller independent living unit. They're an excellent option for maximizing existing square footage without a major home addition.
