Convert your garage or backyard space into an Accessory Dwelling Unit.
Whether you’d like some additional space for yourself, or living space for family while maintaining your privacy, or if you’d like to start your real estate empire, MVP Builders can change your space with a garage conversion, a room addition, or a completely new construction.
The MVP ADU Process
Conversation
Your Accessory Dwelling Unit starts with a conversation. We'll want to know the reason for your ADU or JADU. If it's for income, let's talk longevity. If it's for something more personal, let's focus on style and finishes. And, most important . . .
What type of ADU works best for you?
An ADU is an extra living unit on your property, complete with kitchen, bathroom and sleeping facilities and may be located either inside, attached to, or detached from the primary dwelling on your property.
Read on or watch our ADU explainer video.
Detached ADU
This unit is separated from the primary home and is often constructed in the backyard.
Garage Conversion
This is an accessory dwelling unit created from a former garage.
Home Conversion
This ADU is a converted area of the primary home, with its own kitchen and bathroom.
Home Addition
This is a unit that shares at least one wall with the primary home.
Junior ADU
This accessory dwelling unit has no more than 500 square feet, built within a single-family home or accessory structure.
Garage Addition
This ADU shares at least one wall with the garage. Units can also be built above the garage.
Evaluation
Next, we’ll examine your space (including setbacks from your property line, existing rooflines, existing slab or raised flooring, and utilities,) and take measurements to determine the size, scope, and cost of the project, including the applicable permits and fees required of such a project. We'll also assess your energy needs.
During this phase of discovery we’ll also take a look at the FEMA Flood Map to make sure that you’re able to build where you want, and explore your options if you can’t. In the meantime, see where your home falls on the flood map!
Design
Next, our architects will draw up a design based on their years of experience along with your wants and the needs presented during evaluation, while factoring in the wants and needs of any state and local zoning agencies.
Foundation
We’ll drop in a new sewer line, electrical system, gas line and tankless water heater, and pour a new foundation per the approved set of plans for your Accessory Dwelling Unit.
Build
Lastly, we’ll frame the unit as needed, install windows and doors and HVAC, apply exterior lath and stucco, and/or siding, install insulation and drywall, connect sinks and toilets, primer and paint the unit and install appliances.
Let's discuss your ADU project.
