Elk Grove’s Laguna West, Lakeside, and neighboring communities have rear yards that are often underutilized. That’s ADU potential. The City of Elk Grove has been active on ADU approvals, and the permitting process for detached ADUs under 850 sq ft is relatively streamlined.
Most of our Elk Grove ADU projects are detached units: 600-800 sq ft, 1BR/1BA, designed for rental income or extended family living. We design these units to feel like actual homes, not afterthoughts. Proper kitchen layouts with real storage. A bathroom designed rather than just installed. Lighting that’s warm and residential. The goal is a unit someone wants to live in — which is also the unit that rents well and holds its value.
For home additions — expanding the main house — Elk Grove lots have room, and the City is generally accommodating.

Elk Grove backyards are often the most underutilized square footage on a property. A well-designed ADU changes that — with real rental income potential and genuine long-term value. Home should feel like coming back to something you’re proud of.
We handle permit drawings, submissions, and all plan check responses with the building department.
Design that makes the unit feel intentional — not like a converted garage with a hot plate.
Site planning to maximize usable square footage while meeting setbacks and lot coverage limits.
Utility connections — sewer, electrical, gas — coordinated from the start, not figured out mid-construction.
Built to rent or built for family — finishes and layouts chosen for durability and real livability.
