Complete ADU Services in Glendale and the Surrounding Areas

Building an ADU in Glendale creates flexible options for extended family, rental income, or long-term property value in a city known for established neighborhoods and thoughtful residential planning.

Our team provides a seamless, end-to-end process, managing each phase with care and efficiency.

Whether you're planning a contemporary rental unit, a guest residence, or a quiet personal space, we design ADUs that fit Glendale's architectural character and integrate naturally into the surrounding neighborhood.

ADU Design

Thoughtful ADU Design Service is where every successful ADU begins. We study your lot, setbacks, utilities, and the living area you want to create, and then translate goals into efficient plans that feel larger than their footprint.

From natural light to storage and circulation, we refine every detail so your Glendale ADU lives comfortably today and resells well down the road. Our designers coordinate with engineering early to prevent delays, and we align elevations, materials, and trim with your home's style.

ADU Building Permits

Navigating an ADU building permit in Glendale can be complex; we simplify it. With our ADU Building Permit Services, our team compiles a complete submittal, including site plan, architectural sheets, energy forms, and structural details, so your permit review stays on track.

We respond to comments quickly and keep you updated at every step. Whether it's utility upgrades or fire separation requirements, we solve issues before they slow you down.

Permitting Unpermitted ADUs

If you have an existing structure or past work, we can help legalize it. Permitting unpermitted ADUs requires measured drawings, code compliance upgrades, and careful documentation to demonstrate safety.

Our Glendale team assesses what's needed, sets expectations, and creates a clear path to approval for concerned homeowners. Start with a consultation to map costs, scope, and city review steps.

ADU Construction

Through our ADU Construction Services, we partner you with Glendale-based, licensed builders known for dependable workmanship and clear, upfront pricing.

We coordinate closely between designers and contractors, overseeing site preparation, utility connections, and city inspections from start to finish.

Our on-site support helps ensure framing, exterior, and interior work align with approved plans, resulting in a well-built, efficient ADU that complements your Glendale home and adds lasting value.

Spanish-Style ADU

A Spanish-style ADU blends with many Glendale homes using smooth stucco, clay-look tile accents, arched entries, and warm-color palettes. We echo proportions and detailing so the new living area looks original to the property while meeting modern energy and comfort standards.

Interiors can include light plaster tones, wood beams, and wrought-iron touches that age gracefully.

Studio ADU

A studio ADU is a compact, efficient solution that stretches every square foot. Smart layouts place the kitchen and bath back to back, allowing more open space for sleeping and lounging.

Large windows, built-ins, and multi-use furniture make a small Glendale ADU feel generous without increasing the footprint. It's an ideal choice for guests or creative use.

Cottage ADU

A cottage ADU delivers classic curb appeal with gables, trim, and inviting porches. Inside, we emphasize storage, window placement, and durable finishes that suit everyday living.

If you want a welcoming living space for multigenerational needs or visiting friends, a cottage plan provides charm without compromising function.

2 Bedroom ADU

A 2-bedroom ADU offers flexibility for families, caregivers, or long-term guests. Thoughtful ADU design separates private and social zones, adds closets, and keeps circulation efficient so the home lives larger.

With careful glazing for privacy and daylight, your Glendale property gains a comfortable residence that also appeals to future buyers.

3 Bedroom ADU

A 3-bedroom ADU maximizes utility on larger lots and supports multigenerational living. We consider access from the main house, parking, and outdoor areas to keep the property harmonious.

For families needing space or investors planning long-term, detached ADUs at this scale can be compelling when sited and designed carefully.

Garage ADU

Turn underused space into value with a garage ADU. Whether a garage conversion or a new build over an existing structure, we verify feasibility, upgrade framing as required, and insulate for comfort.

Proper seismic details, fire separation, and ventilation are crucial for Glendale approvals and long-term durability. We streamline the steps so you can move in sooner.

Junior ADU

A Junior ADU carves out a compact dwelling within your existing footprint. By reconfiguring interior walls and adding an efficiency kitchen, you gain a code-compliant accessory dwelling unit that's quick to permit and budget-friendly.

For many Glendale homes, it's the fastest path to flexible use without expanding the structure.
