You must have heard the saying, ‘East or west, home is best.’ But what if your living space in beautiful El Dorado County became too confining for an extended family, or too cramped for all the friends you’ve recently made and want to temporarily house? Of course, if your budget and credit history allows it, you can sell your house and buy a new, bigger one.

However, not every property owner in Auburn Lake Trails can afford it right away. Moreover, building such large and comprehensive new structures as houses is not only costly but time-consuming. Do you need extra space right now and can’t spend several months (or even years) on new construction because you need to live somewhere all this time? Then stay with us!

If this situation sounds familiar, you might get interested in ADUs. ADUs can be located on the same piece of land as the main house, for instance, in your backyard. Learn about types of ADUs, their advantages, and their peculiarities, and then, when you’re ready, contact a professional ADU builder – A+ Construction & Remodeling!

When building a house, special knowledge is simply necessary. If, with a cursory glance at things, it seems that it is enough to watch a few tutorial videos on YouTube, with further use of the house, it often becomes clear that things, unfortunately, went south.

Is it possible to start building a house in December, or is it better to wait until summer? Is an ADU even permitted in that particular state or city? How far should it be located from the highway? And what materials should I use so that everything doesn’t fall apart after six months? All these questions and many more you can ask A+ specialists with many years of experience under their belt.

Their scope of work stretches for miles from east to west and from north to south in California. A+ Construction & Remodeling is an ADU building company with a long history of helping homeowners bring their unique projects into existence.

ADU Contractor Building Types

So, what is an ADU? In contrast to the owner-occupied house, an ADU is a resident’s new construction on the same plot as the main house. In other words, it is a small house with a miniature bedroom (one or more bedrooms, depending on the ADU size), bathroom, kitchen, and living room zones.

There are ADUs that are built from scratch and converted ADUs. The second type includes garage and basement conversions. The pros are that you can utilize the unused garage or basement space. No longer have a car to park? Then convert your garage into a living space with all the necessary amenities without incurring too many extension costs, as the carcass is already here. All you need to do is change the gate to a wall, install windows and doors, and carry out work on the electrical wiring and plumbing.

Yet, a more popular ADU classification is based on the way an ADU is constructed. All ADUs are divided into:

An Attached ADU

This option is convenient for those residents who don’t mind having a shared wall with their additional dwelling unit. An attached ADU is great for easy access if your family has been replenished with a new member, your adult child has married, or you need to move a relative closer to yourself.

A Detached ADU

A notable feature of this ADU type is that it’s a stand-alone house with no adjacent wall to the primary house. A tiny house for a downsized life that is just a few seconds’ walk from the main house can serve as a guest house, retreat house, workshop, or private shelter to hide from overly curious relatives.

A junior ADU

Unlike the other two types, a junior ADU is distinguished by its size rather than its configuration or access to the primary building. Moreover, they must be converted rather than built. An ADU has such a name because it has very small dimensions – less than 500 sq. ft. Since when building an ADU, you pay mainly for square footage, this option may be a lifesaver for those who are in desperate need of extra space but don’t have much in their savings account.
