Premier ADU Builders in Encinitas
Looking to add valuable living space and potential rental income to your Encinitas property? Classic Home Contractors specializes in custom ADU design and construction throughout Encinitas.

We follow the City of Encinitas’s official ADU guidelines, which explain how big your ADU can be, where it needs to go, and what paperwork you need. That way, your new space is fully legal, looks great, and the permit process feels easy.
Let’s make your backyard dream come true—quickly, confidently, and Encinitas-approved!
Why Encinitas is Perfect for ADUs
Hey there! Living in Encinitas is like winning the lottery – gorgeous beaches, perfect weather, and everyone wants to live here. That’s exactly why building an ADU on your property is such a smart move!
Here’s what we see happening: Families are making an extra $2,000 to $3,000 every month just by renting out their beautiful little ADU. Plus, your home value goes up by tens of thousands of dollars. It’s like your backyard is printing money!
But here’s the best part – you’re not just making money. You’re helping other people experience the magic of living in Encinitas too.
- Want Your Own Little Beach House? We can build you a completely separate cottage in your backyard. Perfect for guests, family, or renters who want their own private space.
- Got an Old Garage Doing Nothing? Let’s turn that dusty garage into someone’s dream beach apartment! You’ll be amazed what we can do with that space.
- Need Something Small But Sweet? A Junior ADU inside your house is perfect if you want to help family stay close or earn some extra income without a big construction project.
- Dream of a Backyard Casita? Picture this: a charming little house where your kids can visit with grandkids, or where you can rent to someone who’ll love waking up in Encinitas every day.
- Want the Whole Package? We handle everything from the first sketch to handing you the keys. No stress, no confusion, just your dream ADU becoming real.
- Not Sure What’s Possible? We’ll come look at your property and tell you exactly what you can build and how much money it could make you. No guessing!
