What is ADU?

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a small, secondary housing unit built on the same property as a single-family home. They are often designed to provide extra living space, generate rental income, or create a private area for family members. ADUs come in various forms, such as:

ADUs typically include basic amenities like a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area, making them self-contained homes. They're popular in areas with high housing costs as they provide affordable living solutions without requiring new land development.

Detached ADU

A separate building, often located in the backyard.

Attached ADU

An addition to the main house with its own entrance.

Garage Conversion

Converting an existing garage into a living unit.

Basement or Attic Conversion

Transforming a basement or attic into an independent unit.

Innovative ADU Design Solutions

Our approach to ADU design focuses on maximizing functionality, style, and efficiency, transforming small spaces into versatile, livable homes.

Smart Space Planning

Each square foot is carefully planned to create a comfortable and practical layout. We specialize in open floor plans that integrate living, dining, and kitchen areas.

Modern & Versatile Aesthetics

Our ADU designs are tailored to match or complement the main residence, whether you prefer modern, rustic, or minimalist styles.

Energy-Efficient Solutions

Our ADUs incorporate eco-friendly features like energy-efficient windows, solar panel options, LED lighting, and quality insulation.

Customized Amenities

From luxury touches like granite countertops to practical features like built-in storage, every detail is designed with purpose.

Tommy, Yuna, and their entire team were amazing from start to finish. We hired them for a big project that included foundation work, a structural retrofit, replacing the PGE main service line, and installing a new 200-amp panel. It was a pretty major job, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better crew to handle it. Everyone was professional, polite, and knew exactly what they were doing. They showed up on time, cleaned up every day, and were super respectful of our space.

I hired 9Builders to work on my backyard and they did an amazing job. They built a nice structure that looks really great and added so much to my yard. The team was friendly and kept everything clean while they worked. The work was done quick and looked really good. Now they're working on the front of my house to add an extension, and I'm impressed how fast they worked. They finished the foundation in just two days...
