An ADU — accessory dwelling unit — is a complete second home on your property: its own entrance, kitchen, and bath. In Orange County that can mean monthly rental income, a private space for aging parents or adult kids, or a home office that's actually separate from the house. And thanks to recent California ADU laws, they're faster and easier to permit than they've ever been — streamlined approval, no owner-occupancy requirement in most cases, and cities can't nickel-and-dime you the way they used to.
The catch is that an ADU is still a ground-up building: foundation, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and its own utility connections — plus a permitting process that trips up homeowners who go it alone. Interior Restorations is a licensed general contractor that handles all of it in-house, from feasibility and plans through the final inspection and rent-ready finish. If you'd rather expand the house you already have, that's a home addition — and it's all part of our remodeling & additions work.
Standalone backyard homes and cottages — the most flexible and most valuable ADU option.
Turn an existing garage into a legal living unit — often the fastest, most affordable path to an ADU.
