With California’s updated ADU laws making approval faster and easier than ever, adding a high-quality ADU instantly increases your home’s value, creates reliable rental income, and provides flexible space for family members, guests, or a private home office.
While ADUs offer homeowners rental income potential and contribute to alleviating the state’s housing shortage, many hesitate due to high initial costs. The CalHFA ADU Grant provides up to $40,000 to cover pre-development and one-time closing costs for ADU construction. This grant can help with essential pre-development expenses like site preparation, architectural plans, permits, soil testing, impact fees, property surveys, and energy assessments.
Our ADU process starts with expert planning, whether from a garage or backyard space. We collaborate with you on customized layouts and blueprints for your studio, one-, or two-bedroom unit, then handle all permits and ensure full code compliance with complete transparency.
Compact ADUs demand smart, personalized design. Our in-house team optimizes every square foot with stylish layouts, efficient storage, natural light, and premium finishes, creating a beautiful, functional space that perfectly matches your lifestyle and vision.
At First Builders Inc., our family-owned team delivers superior craftsmanship on every project. We manage construction from foundation to final details, partnering with trusted vendors for top-quality materials and finishes that ensure your ADU is built to last.
