In 1935, in a small European village, Nicholas was born. He developed a passion for construction that he spent years perfecting. Nicholas later passed that knowledge on to his son Edgar. In 1997, Edgar began working in the construction field in Massachusetts. Edgar then passed on all he knew to his son, Roman.
Roman’s humble beginnings in this family-owned business are why he is committed to providing great craftsmanship. He takes pride in the quality of work that the team at A+ Construction & Remodeling has provided for more than 30 years.

When you are getting ready to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in Sacramento, it’s important to find out the size and placement regulations. Detached ADUs are limited to a maximum of 1,200 square feet. If a property has two separate ADUs, their combined total size must also not exceed 1,200 square feet. For existing structures being converted into ADUs, there is no specific setback requirement from the property boundary. However, for ADUs on corner plots facing the street, they must comply with the standard zoning setbacks applicable to that property.
The Sacramento City Code Sections 17.200-17.224 provide detailed setback requirements for ADUs. For double-story ADUs, the regulation stipulates maintaining a minimum gap of three feet from both side and rear boundaries, or following the property’s zoning requirements—whichever is less restrictive. As for the single-story ADUs without side or rear setbacks, they must be positioned at least 60 feet from the front boundary, or they can adhere to the guidelines for double-story units.
Detached ADUs must be spaced at least four feet apart from each other and from the main residence to ensure adequate privacy and safety. However, this spacing requirement is waived when two ADUs are contained under a single roof.

If you are wondering whether to build a new additional dwelling unit or to purchase a prefab one, the main distinction worth noticing between the two options is the price. Understandably, the process of designing, outlining,
and building of an ADU is more time—and money—consuming than, say, opting for the prefabricated type. The prices for the brand new ones register at nearly $128000.
Contrary to these, the price tags for the prefab dwelling units are way lower, starting at around $30000. However, the construction & utility connections aren’t covered by the amount. Another important thing is the
acquisition of the permits. What also matters is the legal side of the process, which should be immaculately taken care of.
The first article of expenses is, of course, getting in touch with a knowledgeable contractor. The fee for such services usually amounts to about 10% of the total budget. All consultations, including those: 1. concerning
utility connections, 2. planning, 3. permitting, and 4. regulations, will require a paid specialist’s involvement.
Why Build an ADU? From potential rental income to providing a home for aging parents, the benefits are numerous.
Besides the monetary benefits, prefab ADUs have a lot more to offer:
Among others, let us consider some more factors making the ADU building an intelligent and economical step.
