Trusted ADU contractors in San Diego
Looking for ADU contractors who actually know what they’re doing? You found us.
Why Choosing the Right ADU Contractor Changes Everything
Building an ADU isn’t like adding a deck or remodeling a bathroom. It’s a complex project that touches zoning laws, utility connections, structural engineering, and rental property regulations. Get the wrong contractor and you’ll end up with delays, cost overruns, and an ADU that doesn’t rent for what you expected.
Here’s what separates real ADU contractors from general contractors who dabble in ADUs:
- ADU-specific permitting experience – We know exactly what San Diego’s planning department wants to see
- Zoning compliance expertise – Setbacks, height limits, parking requirements – we get it right the first time
- Utility connection specialists – Separate meters, electrical panels, sewer connections – done properly
- Rental property construction standards – Built for durability and tenant satisfaction
- Long-term investment focus – Every decision considers your 20-year rental income potential
- Post-completion support – We’re here when you need us, even years later
We’re not just contractors who build ADUs – we’re ADU specialists who happen to be contractors.

Your ADU Contractor Questions Answered
- How do I know if a contractor is qualified to build ADUs? Ask to see completed ADU projects, not just regular construction work. Real ADU contractors can show you multiple finished ADUs and provide references from current rental property owners.
- What should I expect to pay ADU contractors in San Diego? Quality ADU construction typically runs $200-400 per square foot depending on finishes and site conditions. Contractors quoting significantly below this range are either inexperienced or planning to hit you with change orders later.
- How long should an ADU project take with experienced contractors? Most ADUs take 4-6 months from permit approval to certificate of occupancy. Contractors promising much faster timelines are usually overpromising to get the job.
- What happens if my ADU contractor encounters problems during construction? Experienced ADU contractors anticipate common problems and build contingency time into schedules. We stop work, explain the situation, and get your approval before proceeding with any changes.
