Still unsure? Ask the owner.
ADU questions02 / 08

How much does an ADU cost in Los Angeles?

ADUs and new construction start around $250 per square foot, depending on size, finishes and site conditions. Garage conversions are usually the lowest‑cost option because the structure already exists. See the pricing guide for typical totals.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.

Yes. Plan check, structural review, zoning approval and final inspections. We handle all of it.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the ADU and the city. City approval time varies a lot. We give you an estimate for your project after a site visit.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.
ADU questions05 / 08

Can I build an ADU on my property?

Most residential lots in LA qualify, subject to zoning, lot size and setbacks. We check your property for free.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.

Long‑term rentals (30+ days) are allowed. Short‑term rentals depend on city rules.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.
Pricing03 / 07

California law caps the down payment at $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. After that, payments are tied to materials and progress on the job. The full schedule is written into your contract.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.

Yes, through multiple vendors and brokers. See the financing section on the Pricing page.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen or bath?

Cosmetic changes usually don’t. Moving plumbing, gas, electrical or walls does — and we pull it.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.

Custom tile shower or prefab?

Prefab is cheaper and faster. A custom tiled shower with frameless glass is the premium route. We build both.

Still unsure? Ask the owner.

“We hired Pacific Proworks Inc. to build our custom home from the ground up on a steep, hilly lot and I can confidently say they were the best decision we made. From day one, their team was organized, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about hillside construction, permitting in Santa Clarita, and the structural challenges that came with our property. Where other contractors gave us excuses, Pacific Proworks gave us solutions.”

“Wow!!! What can I say other than we are so grateful to Pacific Proworks Inc., your whole team was incredible! The construction of our 1,000 square foot ADU turned out better than expected, and the whole process for the ADU was seamless, from blueprints to completion. Denette helped me design the ADU to maximize the space and include features I wanted.”

“We hired Pacific Proworks Inc. to convert our detached garage into a full ADU, and I can honestly say it was one of the best contractor experiences we’ve ever had. They walked us through the permitting process, helped with design decisions, and managed everything — from plumbing to electrical — with zero shortcuts. The ADU turned out better than we imagined, and it’s already generating rental income.”

They extended our family room to create a sunroom and larger dining area, added an office, and converted our garage into an ADU for my mother. Communication was always clear, and the crew was extremely respectful of our home. They cleaned and organized the job site every single day.”

They were super easy to talk to, always showed up when they said they would, and actually listened to what I wanted. The work came out beautiful, and there were no surprise costs or drama. I’d recommend them to family, no question.”
