Accessory Dwelling Units
More living space on the property you already own, without the hassle. We plan it, permit it and build it.
Converting a garage or adding a new unit is one of the best ways to add space or rental income to your home. Golden Age Builders takes your ADU from initial planning and design concepts through city plan check submittals to construction, so the whole journey stays hassle-free.
California’s ADU rules have opened real opportunity for homeowners, but every city reads them a little differently. We handle the zoning, setbacks and permits for you, then build to the approved plans with one team from start to finish.
