ADU

What is an ADU? An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a second, fully independent home on your property — its own kitchen, bath, and private entrance. Build it detached in the backyard, attached to your house, or converted from your garage. One lot, two homes. Why homeowners build one Rental income — a long- or short-term rental on land you already own. Room for family — aging parents, adult kids, or guests: close, but with their own space. Flexible space — a home office, studio, or guest suite that changes as life does. Added value — we're builders and licensed realtors, so we see both sides: a permitted ADU adds finished living space and real options to your property. The ADUs we build Detached ADU — a standalone unit in the backyard. Attached ADU — connected to your home, with its own entrance. Garage conversion — often the fastest, most affordable path. Above-garage ADU — living space over a new or existing garage. A smart-sizing tip that saves you money Under 750 sq ft, California law exempts an ADU from local impact fees. Most of our ADU plans fall under that line — so we help you size the home to keep fees low. (We'll confirm what applies for your city and lot.) How it works Free consultation + site visit — we never quote a project without seeing your property. Design & plans — choose a plan and make it yours. Permitting — we handle the city, codes, and paperwork. Build — one team, start to finish. Walk-through + warranty — we hand you the keys and stand behind the work. Why Ennis 35 years building across California — 4,000+ homes. Builders and a licensed brokerage — design, construction, and market expertise in one team.
