California's updated ADU laws have made it easier than ever to add a high-value dwelling unit to your property. DWD Builders offers a complete turnkey ADU solution — from design and permit acquisition to construction and final inspection — delivering a finished unit that matches your primary home's architectural pedigree. We build detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, and JADUs across Los Angeles.

Single-story detached ADU with stucco exterior, dark wood accents, and drought-tolerant landscaping — delivered turnkey from permit to final inspection.

Contemporary two-story detached ADU with flat roof, private patio, and full kitchen — generating rental income immediately after CO.
Remote or in person — no commitment required. We review your vision, budget, and timeline together.
We coordinate architects, engineers, and consultants on your behalf to develop construction-ready plans.
Our team manages all city and county permit applications, plan-check responses, and approval coordination.
Weekly video updates, photo reports, and milestone approvals keep you informed throughout the build.
Certificate of Occupancy, full project handover, and a 1-year workmanship warranty on all DWD work.
From signed contract to final inspection, most ADU projects in LA take 9–14 months. Permit timelines vary by city jurisdiction — Los Angeles City, LADBS, and county areas all differ. We navigate this for you.
A high-quality detached ADU in Los Angeles typically ranges from $300K–$700K depending on size, finishes, and site conditions. We provide detailed cost estimates in pre-construction before any commitment.
Yes. ADUs in California can be rented both short-term (with local permit) and long-term. A well-built ADU in LA typically generates $2,000–$6,000/month in rental income depending on size and location.
A Junior ADU (JADU) is a unit up to 500 sq ft carved out of existing living space in your primary home. It requires a separate entrance but can share a bathroom with the main unit. JADUs are typically the fastest and lowest-cost ADU option.
Yes. We manage all city and county permit applications for your ADU, including building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits. We respond to plan-check corrections and schedule all inspections.
Adding an ADU typically triggers a supplemental tax assessment on the value of the ADU only — not a full reassessment of your existing home. The tax increase is usually modest relative to the rental income and property value gain.
