Why Build an ADU in University Heights?
Let’s talk real numbers for a minute. A quality ADU in University Heights can rent for $1,800 to $3,200 per month. That’s serious money that can help with your mortgage, kids’ college funds, or just give you more financial breathing room.
But it’s not just about the income potential. Maybe your elderly parents need somewhere close but independent. Maybe your adult kids need affordable housing while they get on their feet. Or maybe you work from home and desperately need an office that’s actually separate from your living space.
ADUs solve real problems for real families. They add value to your property while giving you flexibility you never had before.
Here’s the thing though – University Heights has specific zoning rules and permit requirements. One wrong move and your project gets delayed for months. That’s where having experienced ADU builders who know the local regulations makes all the difference.

What Makes Classic Home Contractors Different
We’ve been building in San Diego for decades, and we’ve seen how other contractors handle ADU projects. Spoiler alert: it’s usually not pretty.
No permit surprises. We handle all the paperwork, inspections, and city requirements upfront. You won’t get stuck halfway through your project because someone forgot to file the right forms.
Here’s what you can expect from us:
- Honest, detailed estimates with every cost spelled out clearly
- Realistic timelines we actually stick to
- Daily communication – no wondering what’s happening with your project
- Clean, organized job sites because it’s still your home
- Quality materials and craftsmanship that lasts
We don’t play the “change order” game. When we give you a price, that’s the price. No mysterious extra costs that pop up later.
Our family-owned business has built our reputation on trust and transparency. We’re not going anywhere, which means we stand behind our work long after your ADU is finished.

Different Types of ADUs We Build
Detached ADUs are separate buildings in your backyard. Perfect for maximum privacy and rental income potential.
Garage conversions turn existing space into livable units. Usually the most cost-effective option.
Attached ADUs connect to your main house but have separate entrances. Great for multi-generational living.
Junior ADUs are smaller units (under 500 sq ft) with simplified permit requirements. Ideal for home offices or guest spaces.
The Benefits That Matter Most
Extra monthly income can transform your financial situation. We’re talking about $20,000+ per year in rental income.
Increased property value – ADUs typically add $150,000-$300,000 to your home’s worth in University Heights.
Flexible living arrangements for aging parents, adult children, or live-in caregivers.
Home office space that’s actually separate from your house (hello, work-life balance!).
Guest accommodations that give visitors privacy and comfort.
