Quick Answers
What is an ADU?
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a second, self-contained home on the same lot as your house, with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom. It can be a backyard house, an addition, a converted garage, or a converted room (a junior ADU).
Can I finance an ADU?
Yes. You can see ADU and renovation financing options at FinanceMyADU, our partner site.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. We draw the plans, submit them to the city, and handle any corrections the city asks for. You never have to go to City Hall.
How big can an ADU be?
Under California law, a detached ADU can be up to 1,200 square feet. An attached ADU can be up to half the size of your home, up to 1,200 square feet. We check what your lot and city allow during the free consultation.
Who builds it, and where do you work?
Design, permits, and construction are done by Mars Construction Industries Corp, a licensed, bonded, and insured builder (California CSLB #1138550) with its own crews. We work in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties.
