Every year, more West Hills homeowners are enhancing the value and livability of their properties by adding ADUs. Accessory dwelling units — also known as backyard cottages, in-law apartments or even granny flats — are separate residential living spaces built on the property of a single-family home. Whether you’re interested in having more room for guests, sharing your home with family or generating rental income, an ADU is a great way to leverage available space on your property. Arrowhead Remodel and Design has more than 25 years of experience building ADUs in the Los Angeles area.

While the term ADU typically brings to mind a backyard cottage behind the main home, there are several types of accessory dwelling unit to consider, depending upon existing property configuration and intended use:

Detached ADU

• Conversion or expansion of an existing secondary structure, such as a garage, into an ADU.
• Conversion of a space within the main home, such as a basement or attic, into an ADU.
• Addition of an attached ADU to the main home.

While building a small backyard cottage may seem relatively straightforward, local regulations can be complex, and careful planning and efficient design are essential to ensuring comfort and livability in a compact space. Our design/build experts have the knowledge and experience to help you navigate all of the requirements, options and possibilities, and build the ADU that’s just right for your property, your budget and your intended use.
