ADU Construction and Remodeling
in Los Angeles, CA
An accessory dwelling unit can add valuable living space without requiring you to leave the property you already know and love. At ARZ Remodeling, we provide custom ADU construction in Los Angeles for homeowners who want a guest house, rental unit, private office, in-law suite, or flexible backyard residence. Our licensed and insured team manages design, planning, permitting support, construction, and final finishes through one organized process. Whether you are considering a detached structure, attached addition, garage conversion ADU, or complete ADU renovation, we create a solution around your property, budget, and long-term goals.
Custom ADUs Designed Around Your Property
Every lot has different dimensions, access conditions, utility locations, and zoning considerations. A successful ADU design must make efficient use of the available space while fitting naturally with the main residence and surrounding neighborhood. Our ADU design and build process begins with a careful review of your property and intended use. We consider privacy, parking, outdoor access, natural light, storage, and daily function before developing a customized plan.
Detached ADU Construction
A detached ADU can create a private living space separated from the main home. It may be used as a rental unit, guest house, home office, or residence for an aging parent or adult family member.

As an experienced detached ADU builder, we coordinate site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, insulation, drywall, flooring, and interior finishes. We also plan exterior materials so the new structure complements the property rather than feeling disconnected from it.
Attached ADUs and Home Additions
An attached accessory dwelling unit can expand the home while creating a separate or semi-private living area. This option may work well when the property has limited backyard space or when homeowners want convenient access between the primary residence and the new unit.

Our experience as a home addition contractor allows us to coordinate structural connections, rooflines, utilities, and interior transitions carefully. We focus on creating a space that feels intentional, comfortable, and properly integrated with the existing house.
Garage Conversion ADUs
A garage conversion ADU can turn underused square footage into a functional residence without constructing an entirely new building. These projects may be especially appealing for homeowners who already have a suitable garage footprint and want to maximize the value of the property.

We evaluate the existing slab, framing, ceiling height, utilities, ventilation, and access before developing the design. Our team can add kitchens, bathrooms, insulation, windows, flooring, storage, and other features required for comfortable daily living.
Backyard ADUs and Guest Houses
A backyard ADU can provide additional privacy while making productive use of available land. These compact homes can be designed for family visits, long-term living, rental use, or a combination of changing needs over time.
Our guest house construction services include complete interior and exterior planning. We create layouts that make smaller spaces feel open, practical, and comfortable without wasting valuable square footage.
In-Law Suite Construction
Many families build ADUs to keep loved ones close while still providing privacy and independence. An in-law suite can include a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living area, and accessible features based on the resident’s needs.
We can incorporate wider clearances, walk-in showers, lower thresholds, improved lighting, and other aging-in-place considerations. These elements are integrated into the design so the finished space remains attractive as well as practical.
ADU Remodeling and Renovation
Existing accessory units may need updates before they can support modern living. Outdated plumbing, worn finishes, poor layouts, limited storage, and aging electrical systems can reduce both comfort and usability.
Our ADU remodeling services may include kitchen installation, bathroom renovation, flooring, painting, lighting, roofing, exterior updates, and layout improvements. We help homeowners modernize older units while preserving useful features that remain in good condition.
Los Angeles Permitting and Zoning Support
ADU projects usually require permits and must follow current zoning, building, safety, and utility requirements. Setbacks, height limits, fire access, parking, and connection details may all influence what can be built. As an ADU contractor in Los Angeles, we help clients understand the planning and approval process. We coordinate project information, prepare for required reviews, and keep the design aligned with applicable requirements as the project moves forward.
