Our Services

We build complete ADUs tailored to your needs and your Lodi property.

Backyard ADUs & Detached Units

Backyard ADUs add independent living space behind your existing home. Ideal for rental income or extended family housing in Lodi neighborhoods like Elm, downtown, and surrounding areas where lot sizes permit.

We handle site layout, foundation design, and connection to existing utilities. Lodi's warm, dry climate means we can design units with proper ventilation and insulation for year-round comfort.

Accessory Dwelling Units Above Garages

An upstairs ADU above a garage or carport maximizes existing space without expanding your footprint. Many Lodi homeowners choose this option to preserve yard and simplify utility runs.

We build the new structure, add stairs or external access, and integrate with your main home's electrical and plumbing systems.

Second Stories & Interior ADUs

Adding a second story or converting interior space creates a separate, rentable unit while keeping your main home intact. We design separate entrances and utilities to meet Lodi building code.

This approach works well for existing homes in established Lodi neighborhoods where expanding outward isn't practical.

Why It Matters

ADU construction unlocks real value. We make sure it's done right from day one.

Local Code & Permit Mastery

Lodi's ADU rules changed in recent years. Setbacks, parking, lot coverage, and utility connections all follow strict standards. We know these inside out.

Mistakes with permits cost months and money. We manage every document and inspection to keep your project moving.

Structural Quality Built to Last

ADUs are permanent investments. We use solid framing, proper grading, and durable materials matched to Lodi's climate and soil conditions.

When your ADU is built well, it pays off through decades of use or rental income.

Featured Question: What Should I Know Before Building an ADU in Lodi?

What should I know before building an ADU in Lodi?

Before starting, confirm your lot meets minimum size and setback rules, check utility capacity, and understand Lodi's separate-entrance requirement for rentable ADUs.

  • Lot and zoning eligibility varies by location; many Lodi residential lots can support an ADU if designed correctly.
  • Permits take 4–8 weeks after submission; pre-planning with a contractor shortens the total timeline.
  • Water and sewer capacity, electrical panels, and parking must comply with current Lodi code to avoid mid-project delays.
