ADU – Design and Construction Advice

If you want to convert your garage into an ADU rental unit or build a free standing building, I can draw the construction drawings that you need to apply for permits and help you build the unit.

I've been a custom home builder for over 30 years and can help you. If you're thinking of hiring out the work and doing some yourself, you can pull a permit as the homeowner and become the general contractor. Wouldn't it be great to have someone knowledgeable on your team to get advice from?
