Frequently Asked Questions About ADU Construction
What exactly is an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is an independent living space on the same property as a primary home. Often called granny flats, in-law units, or backyard homes, ADUs include a kitchen, sleeping area, and bathroom. They are highly versatile, commonly used as rental units for passive income, private guest houses, dedicated home offices, or comfortable living spaces for multi-generational families.
How long does the ADU construction process typically take from start to finish?
The total timeline for ADU construction varies based on factors like design complexity, permitting duration, and the type of ADU (e.g., garage conversion vs. new detached unit). Generally, from initial design to final inspection, projects can range from 8 to 18 months. We provide a clear, detailed timeline specific to your project during our planning phase and maintain consistent communication throughout.
Does MJ Builder Company handle all necessary permits and navigate local ADU regulations?
Absolutely. As licensed general contractors specializing in ADUs in Los Gatos and Santa Clara County, we handle the entire permitting process on your behalf. Our team possesses deep expertise in local ADU regulations, zoning laws, and building codes, ensuring your project is fully compliant and proceeds smoothly from application to final approval.
What types of ADUs does MJ Builder Company specialize in building?
We specialize in building a range of ADU types to suit diverse property needs and visions. This includes detached ADUs (freestanding backyard homes), garage conversions (transforming existing garages into living spaces), attached ADUs (seamless additions to your main house), and Junior ADUs (JADUs) which are smaller units created within existing single-family homes.
How can building an ADU financially benefit me as a homeowner?
An ADU offers significant financial advantages. It can generate consistent rental income, providing a valuable revenue stream. It also typically increases your property's overall value and equity, offering a strong return on investment. Furthermore, it can be a cost-effective alternative to moving or buying a larger home to accommodate changing family needs.
What Our Clients Are Saying
"We used MJ Builder Co for 2 bathroom remodels. We were on a very tight timeline. We had 6 weeks to have both bathrooms completely redone, including moving walls to make the bathrooms bigger. They were perfectly on time and had us comfortably moved in and using our bathrooms after just 6 weeks, start to finish. They were super on top of ordering materials on time to meet the deadline and helped us pick out materials that would be beautiful and functional in these spaces. The communication was excellent (which was important as there was other work happening around the house that required coordination) and they were so organized. I will absolutely be using MJ Builder Co for all of our future projects!"

"I worked with MJB to do a small living room and home renovation project. I got good design advice from Melody, removed a wall, installed recessed lighting throughout, and added a focal point chandelier. They also painted our whole house and installed new baseboards to give it a brand new feel. They were very clear with their scheduling and communication, showed up on time, and I’m very happy with the quality. Thank you Matt for home upgrades!"
- Yashar M
"I loved working with MJ Builder Company! They are a great family business that puts passion and love in every project as if it was being done in their own home. They helped me with design consulting and constructing my walk In closet in a fully occupied home with least disturbance to other surrounding spaces and the results were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. They took a small space and made the maximum use of every inch where it was functional and aesthetically pleasing. I’m looking forward to hiring them for my next home project! Thank you MJ Builder Company!"
